Rampart Dam is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community. Even so, if you can update or improve it, please do so. | |||||||||||||

A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the "
Did you know?" column on
January 23, 2009. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the proposed
Rampart Dam on the
Yukon River in
Alaska would have created a man-made reservoir larger than
Lake Erie? | |||||||||||||
Current status: Featured article |
The article calls Ernest Gruening the "junior U.S. Senator from Alaska", right after noting that Alaska had been a state for a matter of months. As seniority is determined by length of service, and both senators from a new state are installed at the same time, how could there be a senior or junior senator just months into the state's existence? Should the "junior" be dropped, as it adds nothing to the story?
I know the proposed flooding didn't impact Canada directly, but given that the Yukon is a major salmon river and as far as I remember the International Salmon Treaty and IJC were in place, and the Yukon is an international river, I'm just wondering if there were any positions papers from the Canadian or Yukon government or one of their departments, namely the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). This might have been "under the radar" as far as Canadian interests were...maybe. I hadn't heard of it before, I just came here because of the recent post on WP:AK. On the one hand, the salmon fishery is probably already covered by the article (which I admit to not having read in detail, only scanned), but other than navigation rights (if Canada has any, which I think it did during the Klondike Gold Rush, not sure about since) the fishery is definitely a bilateral matter. Or is now anyway. Skookum1 ( talk) 03:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Americans do not "downplay Canadian concerns as a matter of course". What's a matter of course is Canadians saying Americans do that so they can bitch about it. "Americans are ignorant of anything beyond their borders, America is the world, Americans are uneducated and are unable to be educated". That is what is said - As a Matter of Course - by Canadians.
Does anyone besides me think this project would be a good idea? Also what is the cost in 2009 USD so I can compare against wind power projects. TeH nOmInAtOr ( talk) 21:17, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Since this never got built, shouldn't the proper title of this article be Rampart Dam proposal? Skookum1 ( talk) 23:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
