Talk:Santa Clara Valley Water District

Coyote Dam in Santa Clara County versus Coyote Dam in Mendocino County?

This article's "Coyote Dam" links to the wrong Coyote Dam! How to fix? Paulburnett (talk) 21:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Please update Chair

I am an employee of Valley Water and will not directly edit this article in compliance with Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest Policy. The listing of the Chair is significantly out of date, and likely to become out of date again annually. Recommend replacing the name of the Chair with a link to the Board page. Interested readers can go check who the Chair is currently at https://www.valleywater.org/how-we-operate/board-directors

Additional information concerning Valley Water Projects and other activities are also available at https://www.valleywater.org/

Lists of Valley Water creeks, water bodies, dams and the like are available at https://data-valleywater.opendata.arcgis.com/ 765mgr (talk) 01-03-2022

Hi 765mgr, per Wikipedia:External links (Wikipedia's guidelines on External Links), they should not typically be placed in the body of the article, but could potentially be used as citations in the article. At present, the External links section already links to the second link you provided. Although the information on the chair may change annually, this can be easily updated on Wikipedia. Similarly, we consistently post updates to the positions of elected officials, whose positions also change frequently, without issues. Spencer^T•C 00:01, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I am an employee of Santa Clara Valley Water District. I will not edit the article directly, in accordance with Wikipedia’s conflict of interest policy. (I had edited the page several hours ago, but then remembered the policy and undid my edits. My apologies for my error and violation.)

Information to be added/updated: In "Directors" section, replace last three sentences of paragraph with new sentence containing factual information that will not become obsolete.
