Pumped-storage hydroelectricity

Hello, your two entries [1], [2] on the Pumped-storage hydroelectricity article were not referenced and do not belong in an article that covers the type of energy, not specific power plants. Please consider referencing the information and placing it in the Raccoon Mountain Pumped-Storage Plant article. --NortyNort (Holla) 08:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Please stop making similar edits continuously.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I tried to accomodate your criticisms each time, the point is that this technology is much more valuable than is usually realized. To an extent, the information I have provided is not well known, also, for various reasons. I do not add it whimsically at all. I am new at this. Do you have experience with pumped storage?

Thank-you, J. Shor

Thanks. That reference is a good addition. The article could stand to be substantially expanded, and that article would be a good source for technical information. See WP:Welcome for some information on Wikipedia's policies, guidelines, formats, etc. --Orlady (talk) 21:33, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
