Talk:1997 Red River flood in the United States

message: The article has passed Sections 3), 4) and 5). Corrections are needed on Sections 1), 2) and 6).
Overall, the assessment is ON HOLD.
The assessment is, as follows :
1) Written Quality 
* The Flood in Greater Grand Falls section - No contractions allowed in Wikipedia. Replace "didn't" and "couldn't".
::Fixed by JWGreen.
*Downtown Grand Forks fire section - rewrite the split infinitive "to immediately begin"
::Fixed by JWGreen.
*Donation and damages section - replace "didn't"
::Fixed by JWGreen.
2) Factual Accuracy
Lead :
* Superlatives are discouraged on Wikipedia. Give a reference for the claim ." it was the most severe flood of the river since 1826".
::Moved the statement to "The flood in Greater Grand Forks", since it appears the claim was only related to the Grand Forks area (according to the source). --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reworded it somewhat, let me know if it needs to be changed further. For a reference, I don't think that one is needed since the rest of the article's sources show the extensive damage in the the region. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed, the information has been expanded from the source; didn't include it initially. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Put in hidden comment until another source can be found, since current source links to an unrelated article, and the past article requires a payment to read the article. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Readded and included information about GF's efforts with an adopted city. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Will work on this later this weekend. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I created a new evacuations section and included all relevant information, and also added some more. I couldn't find any direct criticism of the evacuation itself, but I did include a quote about the anger over the incorrect prediction of the height of flooding which impacted peoples' decisions to evacuate. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Fixed by JWGreen.
The corrections specified above must be done within seven days. Contact me when they have been and I shall re-assess.

message: *Oppose.  There's lots of detail here that would excessively lengthen the 1997 Red River flood article. Parts of this article redundant with 1997 Red River flood could be trimmed out of here. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
