Dick Cheney

Hi, While browsing on a different subject, I came across this interesting article in The Washington Post [1], going into detail about how Dick Cheney exerted power to reverse the environmental flow decision. I've put it into the text, but being new to all this editing stuff, it shows up as a link not a reference as I don't yet know how to put a reference in! If someone could teach me how to do this it would be a nice thing to do! Thanks, Mondegreen de plume (talk) 01:01, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your interest in the river and for your input. If you look at the article in edit mode, you'll see how the "cite" templates work. You can simply imitate the form of the two citations directly below that of the one you are trying to add. A more complete explanation of the templates is at WP:CIT. In this article, be sure to stick with the "cite" family rather than using the "citation" family or other formats since the "cite" family is used for all of the other refs in this article. Hope this helps. Finetooth (talk) 01:18, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copied

Hi, some content was moved to Un-Dam the Klamath from the Salmon controversy and proposed dam removal section. Xicanx (talk) 16:20, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New subheading and new info added to History section

Hi we are working on a class project and are incorporating a lot more about the klamath basin tribes and their historical relationship with US government and agencies and modern day population and stewardship. We are going to integrate it into history and add a new section. All of our sources should be peer reviewed/reliable and our text will be cited. gcohen02 (talk) 12:52, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dams

Recent news suggests all the dams are removed and the river "runs free". But maps suggest there still at least 2 dams, such as the one for Klamath Lake. Dam I am confused. -- GreenC 18:15, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are all saying the river is running free now; the USA Today story mentions: The final deconstruction, including some remaining riverside infrastructure, is slated to be completed by the end of September. Maybe the maps are just reflecting the remaining infrastructure? Or maybe the maps haven't been updated? Schazjmd (talk) 18:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will update the map. There are still two dams on the river (Link River and Keno) and there are no plans to demolish those. The four dams downstream of Keno have been removed. Shannon [ Talk ] 23:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
