Talk:New Melones Dam

Melones Reservoir

I noticed a reference to the Melones Reservoir built in 1926 here -> South San Joaquin Irrigation District; I'm guessing it's the 'old' to this infrastructure's 'new'. It's probably not a notable enough structure to have its own page, but it may appropriate to place it as a sub-section on this page. I don't know enough about it to add more information than is on the SSJID page. CommOERChip (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

By all means, create a subsection and include this page as a source. —Stepheng3 (talk) 02:42, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Main review

Overall comments/Misc

• Copyvio rating: 75.1% chance of violation of this page.

Not to worry, though. That blog post was on 1 December 2013 and on 6 October 2013, the the article had all the "violated" content.

Lead

• Everything is fine here

Specifications

• 594 ft (181 m) above the streambed.

According to the reference, it's 541.0 ft (164.89 m)

Background and construction

• Ref 14 is a dead link with no available archive.

Controversy

• For the references in the first paragraph, they all seem to be bunched together at the end, do you think you could change that?
