message: The source for the immigration debate specifically states that the people attempting to cross the canal are illegal immigrants.  Making this statement is not a NPOV violation.  Changing this statement is a violation of WP:SYNTH.  Arzel (talk) 22:44, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I also understand why Mexico was taken out because it wasn't mentioned in the source. Obviously, they are probably coming from Mexico, although all probably not Mexican. --NortyNort (talk) 01:45, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. The advocates are not necessarily advocating for illegal immigrants. They are advocating for making the canal less dangerous. In addition, the people who die in the canal are not YET illegal immigrants. They are in the process of immigrating to the US (yes, illegally), hence it's incorrect to call the victims illegal immigrants. Victor Victoria (talk) 12:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

text:  So, based off of these definitions of illegal immigration (including one from Wiki), I don't understand how crossing into California without going through customs and getting papers exempts you from being illegal. What threshold is there? You have to be at your destination? Maybe "illegal alien" is a better term based off of these definitions. I know people don't like the word alien. Nevertheless, the people are illegal once they cross the border. I don't see any other way to describe it. It is what it is and is what the source cited.--NortyNort (talk) 13:26, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Ok, read the definitions. Just because you say it doesn't make it so. Based off what Pete said though, I feel the current wording is a fair compromise.NortyNort (talk) 11:27, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

message: This section contains much information about U.S. water usage, which:
* is totally unsourced;
* refers to one figure and two tables, which are not supplied;
* is of scant relevance to the Canal.
I only fix little stuff. This needs an editor. --LCE(talk contribs) 18:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Water withdrawal and usage" section 

message: Please watch the 60 minutes source in the links and sources section. In this video the current in the canal is stated to move at 8 feet per second, rounding out to about 5.45 mph if you do the math. The figure of 30 mph is ridiculous, that's faster than the speed limit on many city streets. Trust me, current moving at 5.45 mph is still quite swift. Other reasons for the dangerous nature of the canal given in the segment include it's depth (20 feet or deeper in many places), cold water, and slippery sides that make escape very difficult.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.127.201.29 (talk) 06:41, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I am confused, "The All-American Canal feeds, from east to west, the Coachella Canal, East Highline Canal, Central Main Canal, and the Westside Main Canal." I counted and counted again but came only with four. אביהו (talk) 11:12, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
