I am nominating this for featured list because... I believe it meets FL requirements and it is most appropriate with China as the world's premiere dam builder. I previously nominated List of dams and reservoirs in China but it was not promoted due to a lack of scope. With this new list I worked on, the scope is tallest dams over 100 m (330 ft) in height. I have researched extensively and the tallest dams in existence or under construction are listed.--NortyNort (Holla) 00:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In Under construction, choose between plural or singular (Yunnan/Sichuan Province(s))
In the same section, delink city
I made dmy date format as standard, if you don't mind
Some broken links (such as [2]). Please check all links.
For Ref 33 "Zipingpu Reservoir and the Wenchuan Earthquake". ECEE. Retrieved 23 August 2011. please add |registration=yes in the footnote. Check other references where registration is required, and note it subsequently
Would be good if you add |format= in references for special formats (like .doc)
Please note the language in references like 70
Otherwise looks pretty good. I am willing to support it after reference cleanup.--Tomcat (7) 09:43, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tomcat, thank you very much for the review. I have cleaned up the references and repaired/replaced broken links. For "special formats", should that be done with .PDFs as well? I used it for the one Word Document. The Adobe icon shows for the PDFs so it should suffice. I also have a side-bar question, do you know what happened to the old citation gadget? It seems ProveIt is the only one available now.--NortyNort (Holla) 01:25, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Comments

  • You say you have checked the links, but 37 is still dead.
  • When a column is sortable, the items should be wikilinked each time, not just the first instance of an item.

Wikilinks added and reference fixed. Thanks for having a look.--NortyNort (Holla) 00:49, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I fixed a couple links in the article. It now looks ready to go. Zach Vega (talk to me) 11:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose from Crisco 1492
    • Per WP:BOLD, we shouldn't be bolding the lede here
    • I can't believe you've gotten three supports when you have an obvious typo causing a redlink in the table
    • File:Shuangjiangkou Dam rendition.jpg does not meet NFCC#8, and should not be in this article
    • The lede doesn't give us any discussion of trends in Chinese dams, such as which province has the most (Yunnan), which type of damn is most often used in tall Chinese dams, or which river is impounded by the most tall dams
    • We should probably not have redirects in the Region, province or city field
    • Captions: if it's not a full sentence, it doesn't need a period
  • Just a few to start here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you for the review. The typo wasn't apparent until I linked the text halfway-ish through the review. Thanks for catching it, I obviously didn't. I addressed everything above with the exception of the redirects. Are you saying, for example, that I should link 'Sichuan' instead of 'Sichuan Province'? I added 'Province' just to denote that it is a province and not city or region.--NortyNort (Holla) 01:24, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment:I had a big concern about the source, some of them are from "Hudong baike" (like this one), mean's "Hudong encyclopedia", is basically another online free wikipedia, everybody could edit. And the difference between Hudong and Wikipedia is: Hudong don't require any reliable source, so you can just add whatever you want. Because you can't using articles from wikipedia to source another article, so I think using Hudong baike as a source are totally inappropriate.

Some other source has the same kind problem, like this one, is a personal blog, so I'm a little bit surprise nobody mention it at peer review & FLC, mostly I'm only active at zh.wikipedia.org, few days ago seem this list has been promoted, so I translate to Chinese, and found those problem, I have already replace all source that inappropriate to something else, journals, books, or online source at another article, but I'm not sure what's kind standard English wikipedia consider a reliable source, so I didn't change it here.

And one more thing, I seem that every source's title has translate to English, but for my opinion, the title, author should remain as the same as original source, consider some reader maybe don't understand Chinese, editor could translate the title, but still should keep the original title with (XXXXXX), this is something like, how to put it... like a global standard for papers, I think articles here should respect that also.--Jarodalien (talk) 08:03, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns addressed.--NortyNort (Holla) 00:49, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
