Talk:List of dams and reservoirs in California

message: While interesting, it's kind of hard to find stuff on the list other than the order of dams by height. I suggest the list be reordered alphabetically by the name of the reservoir. I think the name of the reservoir is better than the dam because dams are sometimes named after a person or a local feature rather than the name of the reservoir, and most people will be more familiar with the name of the reservoir. I think that it would be very difficult to reorder the list, unless there is a way it can be done automatically. Any comments? -- Kjkolb 10:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is very easy to search within the page for a name.  Even crappy browsers can do that.  Reordering to alphabetical is not worth considering IMO.  --ChrisRuvolo (t) 16:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While it is easy to search (although Firefox has problems with it), I still like to be able to find things by scrolling. As you said, it probably would not be worth it, though, especially if it has to be done manually. -- Kjkolb 08:57, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I ended up reordering it so that more dams could be added (it took about an hour). There is a problem with getting comparable heights because the main source uses the top of the dam to the original streambed and measurements are usually either undefined or to the bottom of the foundation. Now that they are ordered by reservoir name, I suggest that there be some kind of notation that indicates which measurement is used for the height. I compiled a list of 125 additional dams (I have complete information on most of them) and I'm trying to decide where the cutoff should be. I made a suggestion about it above, but I want to make it so that almost all notable ones will make it without the list being too big. -- Kjkolb 05:30, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I corrected the entry for Lower Bear River Reservoir to link to the proper Bear River wiki article.
Then I copied the entry to Upper Bear River Reservoir with appropriate changes.  I don't have year or type so I changed them to unk for now.  If someone has them plz fix the entries, otherwise I'll search more later  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.238.226.66 (talk) 06:08, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
