Talk:Yellowstone River

message: In most of these river articles I am easily able to find info about the river's head/source and it's mouth. I was unable to find that information in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.45.199 (talk) 16:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Beleive it or not, the high value fisheries of the Yellowstone River extend well below Big Timber.  The Yellowstone transitions to a warm water fishery with high biological integrity.  See White, R. G., and R. G. Bramblett. 1993. The Yellowstone River: its fish and fisheries. Pages 396-414 in L. W. Hesse, C. B. Stalnaker, N. G. Benson, and J. R. Zuboy, editors.

replies: text: I don't think Salmocentrism is in play here. Just a lack of references on the warmwater sections of the river.  Feel free to expand the article.--Mike Cline (talk) 22:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Down with salmocentrism 

message: The section Angling the Yellowstone reads like a travelogue or guide book.  Examples:  Extensive use of second person phrasing (ex: "but if you like to hike a bit, there are many good spots where you can get away from the crowds"); comparatives and evaluations (ex: "This is some terrific fishing at times").  The section would benefit from a rewrite and condensation. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Follow-up:  The section appears to be a close copy of the relevant parts of the article Angling in Yellowstone National Park.  Perhaps the section can be heavily condensed, and refer to the more focused article. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment - The Yellowstone river is significantly more encompassing than Yellowstone National Park.  The Angling in Yellowstone National Park article duplicates only a fraction of the available angling on the Yellowstone River which runs to the North Dakota border.  There is no doubt that the verbage of this section could be improved, but it really needs expansion (not condensing) to include river sections all the way to the North Dakota border.--Mike Cline (talk) 12:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Would a new article, perhaps Angling on the Yellowstone River, be appropriate?  As the river is so long and undammed, there may be enough information for a standalone article focused on fishing along the river. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 12:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would agree with and support an expanded new article. Just have to find time and energy to get it done--Mike Cline (talk) 17:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

text: I did a bit of copy edit on the fishing sections - please let me know if I ended up cutting out too much.  I agree that the sections should be expanded to North Dakota, and I don't think a separate article is really necessary here - the current article is only 20k long, and lets face  it, the Yellowstone is one of the great trout streams of the world - it is to trout what some of the other rivers are to navigation or irrigation.

message: i believe that at the battle of the Little Big Horn, George Custer was a Lt. Colonel in the 7th Cavalry; and not, as written, a general. He had been brevetted general several times, but was not one at the time of the battle.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmiller3 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Description of fisheries, beyond flyfishing and scant mention of species such as pallid sturgeon does no justice to the diversity and richness of fishes in the Yellowstone River. I am preparing a section addressing all species present, describing their origin (native or nonnative), distribution, and conservation status. I'm not sure how to link each species to a wikipedia article on each, so I hope someone will help me with this. I am a fisheries biologist working on the Yellowstone River, so my credentials are sound. By the way, according to the American Fisheries Society names for fishes, the common name for Prosopium williamsoni is mountain whitefish, not Rocky Mountain whitefish. I made this change.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by YCTbiologist (talk • contribs) 17:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
