Talk:Inga-Shaba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK...I merged and upgraded it as suggested. -- AM

[edit] Problems with this article

This article is terrible.

1. There whole article is written from the perspective of an engineering feat, rather than as a thing. It's not an event - it's still there.

2. More specifically, the introduction is ridiculous: it doesnt' talk about what Inga-Shaba actually is - it seems like more of an advertisement for a contracting company. It should say that it's a power line running from Kinshasa to Shaba, that it carries 560 megawatts, that it was completed in 1982. It shouldn't mention generals, negotiating skills, and so on.

3. Needs a picture - I think might have a picture of one of the relay stations I can upload. Will check.

4. Inconsistent detail level

5. Needs sources, especially for phrases like "mostly disenchanted technocrats from Tractionel"

I'll do what I can to dig stuff up to help, but I'm sure a lot of people know a ton more about tropical power lines than I do. icambron 18:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
