I welcome any edits to this article. I found some conflicting information as to the exact size of the wetlands. So, if anyone has concrete information, or a source that you really trust, please correct this info. CharacterZero 14:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I removed the NPOV tag added a few days ago (06:25, 23 May 2007 212.39.68.162). 212.39.68.162 did not say why the tag was added or do anything else on the page that I can see. I am interested to know what in the article might strike anyone as NPOV, but until we can have a discussion about it I'm removing the tag. I don't see the NPOV issue, in other words.

  • I had also been wondering about the NPOV tag. I didn't want to remove it, being the article's creator, but I wasn't entirely sure of the reasoning either. My best guess has to do with the Controversy section. There isn't really much in there supporting the government's side of the issue. I'm going to poke around some, and see if I can come up with any official statements of their position. I'm also going to leave a message for the guy who put up the tag, and see if he cares to come back by and discuss it. Anyway, thanks for the help. CharacterZero | Speak 04:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm the one who added the NPOV tag. I meant to add something here to support it, but then I kinda forgot about it. Basically, CharacterZero said it already - there's nothing supporting the other side. There's plenty of stuff out there disputing the environmental impact of the SLT and even some stuff disputing the significance of the lands to the tribes. PeteJayhawk 13:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the input PJ--I replaced the tag and will see if we can come up with some more representation for SLT. Cyrusc 16:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
    • I actually went ahead and moved the tag under the Controversy heading, so that it will be a little clearer as to what is in dispute for people who happen to stumble by. If anyone disagrees with this move, feel free to put it back - but I didn't think it would hurt. CharacterZero | Speak 17:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
