Talk:Spillway

message: "These uncontrolled spillway devices are also called morning glory,[10] plughole,[citation needed] glory hole[10] or bell-mouth[11] spillways."
I have found evidence to support the satement that a Bell-mouth spillway is also called a Plughole spillway but don't know how to cite. If any helpful and knowledgable Wikipedian is able to do it, it sure would be appreciated.

message: The current one does a poor job of reflecting the scale and impressive nature of that particular spillway, and spillways in general. I've just put one of the Kangaroo Creek Reservoir in flood that is a darn site more interesting and just as representative. Since User:Velela reverted my unilateral action on changing this I put it to you "spillway aficionados". Furthermore, on a "technical" note, the image is noisy, has multiple aberrations, and the focus could be better. It looks to scanned from an old print.

thread_title:  Changing the lead image 

message: I took "Bonneville Dam" out of the spillway cross-section picture in the "Types" section.  The schematic shown has Tainter gates, but Bonneville Dam has vertical lift gates on its spillway. 140.194.140.21 (talk) 21:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
