WikiProject Dams[edit]

This would be a project focusing on creation, expansion, cleanup, etc. of the numerous dam articles. Because of the global influence of dams, their importance, uses, types, and sheer number, I was surprised to not find a WikiProject Dams banner on any of their talk pages. Also, each dam article varys a lot in structure and style. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in this part of Wikipedia.

It may also involve the creation of Portal:Dams, though I'm not sure how a portal is set up. Shannon1 ^talk ^contribs 20:10, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A futile attempt at creating a portal in userspace for Dams is available at User:Shannon1/PortalDams. Shannon1 ^talk ^contribs 19:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want, take a look at my WP:DAMS subpage, where a little structure of the project page is set up. (It'll obviously change with time, though.)

Tobit2 (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC), I think the consistent page structure proposed is excellent.[reply]
~EdGl ★ 13:42, 5 May 2009 (UTC) Good topic, good scope, good-looking WikiProject page in your sandbox.[reply]
Dc76\^talk 02:12, 8 July 2009 (UTC) First, the topic is a clear niche, not covered by other projects. Second, judging by the page in userspace, much more thought has gone into this proposed project than other running projects have accumulated in years of activity. I look at other projects and I have no clue what the guys there are doing, or if they themselves have a clue. I read this project, and it strikes me how clear and thought-of the things in it are.[reply]
MChew - Long overdue. Strongly support. MChew (talk) 00:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
