[edit] Map
Nice article, nice pictures. A map would be good - at least of Wales showing the location, and possibly also a larger one showing the contours of the lake. --Doric Loon (talk) 10:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Intro
I have slightly changed the opening paragraph. The original read that the reserve is "protected" by the RSPB and Severn Trent Water. I have changed it to "jointly managed", as I think it is more accurate. 88.111.113.60 (talk) 21:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I also notice that it states the purpose of building the dam as supplying water to Liverpool and Merseyside. As far as I am aware Merseyside (as an official metropolitan borough) only came into existence in 1974 long after the construction of the dam. The resulting link to the Merseyside page could cause confusion. Does anyone object to me removing Merseyside from the intro. 88.111.113.60 (talk) 21:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think what it means by merseyside is in terms of a 'rough' geographical region rather than a strict are defined by a borough. --Fuelboy (talk) 21:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, but I feel the resulting link to the merseyside page clouds the issue. If you click on the Mersesyside link it gives quite a strict definition of Merseyside. I think it would be clearer if it said something like "Liverpool and its environs". I realise it's not a major issue but we have to realise that wikipedia is global and as such should be completely understandable by everyone even if they have no prior knowledge of british geography.

- Yes, that sounds good, or could one of us find a page that might describe the location better. i'll have a look.--Fuelboy (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Greater Merseyside? --Fuelboy (talk) 20:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I've just edited it so that the reference to Merseyside remains but the link to the Merseyside page is removed. I think that's fair. Do you agree? Kingbumpkin (talk) 20:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Generator
It says this used to be the main source of power... I suppose nobody knows if there are figures for the dam's electrical output? Leushenko (talk) 02:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
