McMillan Reservoir on NRHP list?

Hi ... I've updating the NRHP lists and see that you added McMillan Reservoir to the District of Columbia list. However, I can't find anything that says this site is on the list. I looked for it using the search features on the [www.nr.nps.gov National Park Service website] and also ran a Google search. Can you give a citation for this? Thanks. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 19:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

It appears that McMillan was designated as a historic landmark by the DC government, but has not been added to the NRHP.

OK. Then I'm going to remove it from the DC NRHP list here. Thanks --Sanfranman59 (talk) 05:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Federal Water Quality Association

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Federal Water Quality Association, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Bongomatic (talk) 01:31, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I am suggesting that I be allowed to create a page on the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). It saw that another user tried to create this article but it has been rerouted. Its sister program the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) has its own page. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund has received $2 billion under ARRA 2009 and much attention has been placed on this program. I find it important to create a page that is informational for those wanting to know more about the construction or repair of drinking water infrastructure here in the United States and Puerto Rico. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueRoyal1974 (talk • contribs) 14:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

DYK for WEPS

On 17 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article WEPS, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Environmental monitoring

Totally agree with your comments - I have ended up writing just about all the article but my background is rivers and lakes. If you can add air, ground, sea etc. please do so. You are also right that soon it may have to spawn off daughter articles leaving short summaries on the main page. Before we do that however, it would be good to get at least all the heading and short paragraphs present.  Velela  ^{Velela Talk}   08:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Drug pollution

Dear Moreau1, Actually, it is on topic. Your reaction, that Milorganite is fertilizer is correct. However, the pharmaceutical and personal care waste stream has a very real impact on the down stream products, and is interrelated to it. I don't want to get into an edit war over relevancy, as I tend to view that as being in the eyes of the beholder. However, the readers of wikipedia could better make that decision on their own, and may not know of that facet of the problem, if it isn't in this article. The reference to the problem are in the Milorganite article (perhaps you missed that). So I am asking you to reconsider. 10:47, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

February 2017

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Environmental impact of aviation. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:37, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Stormwater into Industrial stormwater. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:14, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Your addition to Early Amatuer Radio Teletype History

The addition of the partial sentence, "...Surplus equipment distributed by US government and military agencies provided other models available to radio amateurs, including Teletype Models 14, 15, and 28..." in the 1940's part of this paragraph is incorrect. Teletype Model 28 equipment was not distributed to Amateur Radio operators until the late 1960s. As such, while correct as a partial stand-alone sentence, the placement is factually incorrect from a timeline perspective. Wa3frp (talk) 13:31, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

DesTech

DesTech is a vanity press. See [2], [3], or [4] if you don't want to take Beall at his word. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:30, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Moved from User talk:Headbomb

The charge that Destech is a "vanity press" is not based on any evidence. The three websites that you refer to all say the same thing: Destech sponsored some questionable conferences. There is nothing in the accusations regarding the integrity of Destech's engineering publications; only complaints about some conferences. The authors that Destech publishes in the engineering field are well known and highly respected. Regarding the authors in the cited publication:

• Dr. W. Wesley Eckenfelder, Jr. (d. 2010) was Professor Emeritus at Vanderbilt University and one of the most distinguished experts in the world in the field of industrial wastewater treatment. These articles describe some of his accomplishments.
  • https://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/news/2010/w-wesley-eckenfelder-jr-was-international-pioneer-in-industrial-wastewater-management/
  • https://eponline.com/articles/1999/12/01/head-of-the-class.aspx
  • https://obits.tennessean.com/obituaries/tennessean/obituary.aspx?pid=141289236

Throughout his career, Dr. Eckenfelder's works were produced by a variety of technical/scientific publishing companies, including Marcel Dekker, Pergamon Press and McGraw-Hill. I do not know how he chose his publisher for any particular work product. He may have selected a publisher based on his working relationships with particular editors, or else fees, copyright or other business-related issues.

• Joseph Cleary is a Principal Environmental Engineer at Geosyntec, an international consulting firm. Mr. Cleary has over 44 years of experience in industrial wastewater treatment and related fields. https://geosyntec.com/people/joseph-cleary

I am not familiar with Destech's business practices regarding conferences, but that issue is irrelevant when citing individual publications by reputable authors. The company's technical publications are written by recognized experts, and are valid sources for citation. Moreau1 (talk) 02:39, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

1962 in the environment moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 1962 in the environment, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Water pollution in South Korea

A tag has been placed on Category:Water pollution in South Korea requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your draft article, Draft:1962 in the environment

Hello, Moreau1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "1962 in the environment".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

2005 energy policy act

The fracking provision was inconsequential because fracking is regulated at the state level and Texas requires fracking companies to disclose what is in fracking liquid. The major impact of the act is the ethanol industry blew up after the act was passed and one can easily see that by looking at US ethanol production by year.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (third request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Hackensack River into New Jersey Meadowlands. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

New York City water supply system

We are thinking of having an event related to water with Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC. As the person who's contribuyed the most on this topic, would be great to get in touch! Pharos (talk) 18:12, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. While I have a continuing interest in both NYC and environmental issues, I don't live in the NYC area. I do visit there regularly, however. Professionally I work in the water quality field. Please let me know about your plans, and how I might be able to contribute or otherwise help out. Moreau1 (talk) 02:58, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
