message: I visited Dr and Mrs Sharp with my family in about 1957 - I was 9 years old - and stayed a few days on the island. We travelled from Kampala where we lived, and we also had time to explore the Virunga volcanoes (and climb one!) as well as the impenetrable forest and other highlights of the area. Many years before, Dr Sharp had got hold of the floats from an old Catalina flying boat (they used to carry the Royal Mail from London) and turned them into small boats, two very small ones equipped with a sail, and two larger ones with motors. We were carried out to the island in one of the large ones, and my brother and I had the chance to use the smaller ones to play with. It was a wonderful holiday and I wish there was a way of including my memories in Wikipedia! And I'm very pleased and impressed to learn about the clever way he set up the leper colony.

thread_title: Not orphaned

message: This article has been rated as a Start class. It is possible to write about settlers. The farm east of Tverrvatnet played an important role during the history of trade and cultural exchange between Mo i Rana and Sweden. Traders spent their night on that farm (5 øre for one night, 10 øre if the trader also also had a horse). Such traders became even more necessary during the catastrophic year of hunger in 1869 Sweden. 
King Oscar II of Sweden visited Mo i Rana on July 13, 1873, discussing among other things the needs of a road between northern Sweden and Mo i Rana. One result of this royal visit, was what we today call European route E12, passing east of Tverrvatnet.
Farmers on the eastern shores of Tverrvatnet plays an important role in the history of Norwegian-Swedish trade, as well as European route E12.
However − does the history of that area belong to Raudvatnet or Tverrvatnet? Locals appearently haven't distinguished between these two lakes, in one point of time. We may assume that the name form Tverrvatnet is the oldest, since using hematite from the «red mountain» in creating red house painting is closely connected with the mining company Bossmo Gruber in Rana. 
The correct name on the river Tverråga, in the local dialect, should have been «Rauvassåga» − if Raudvatnet was the original name of the lake.
I do not even agree with myself, due to local naming conventions/confusions. :) 
Therefore, I added the last paragraph about Tverrvatnet, without saying so much about it − just in case someone wanted to isolate Tverrvatnet in a separate article. __Adamaisaka 22:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I've simplified the links to the FAA page which lists M57 airport approach plates, and to the PDF files of the plates themselves. The problem was that the plates are being updated every 28 days (the length of so-called AIRAC cycle), and since FAA doesn't keep old plates after they expire, the links will go stale within 1–2 months from the publication. From now on (unless FAA changes the structure of its website again), in order for the links to stay current all one needs is to replace the outdated AIRAC cycle designation inside the links' URLs with the most up-to-date cycle designation: specifically, one needs to replace a 4-digit YYCC number, where YY is 2-digit year, and CC is 2-digit cycle designation within the year (going up from 01 to 13 or 14). cherkash (talk) 02:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

(there are four in the project, apparently) According to NPDP Dams Directory three, Post Falls Middle Channel, Post Falls North Channel, and Post Falls South Channel were completed in 1906. The fourth, Post Falls Earth Dike, was completed in 1990. It's just a low earth dike am I'm not sure what its purpose is. The Middle and South Channel dams were repaired/modified in 1992 to increase stability. As far as I can tell the Post Falls Dams control the water levels and outflow of Lake Coeur d'Alene, but there are a number of dams along the Spokane River there and I think they are operated in some kind of coordinated fashion so it may not be wholly accurate to say Post Falls Dam is the one controlling the lake.
