Untitled[edit]

It appears that the section on the dam failure during construction is plagarized from a particular source because there are references to images in the text that do not accompany the article. Two references in the "Notes and references" section are cited that might be source for this section of the article. One source is a US Army Corps of Engineers report from 1939, so I assume its in the public domain. The other however cited source is of a published professional paper that may not be freely available. --Ltvine 01:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I replaced the stamp image originally in this article because of the copyright limitations described in the {{USPSstamp}} rights tag. The replacement aerial view also more fully describes the scale of the dam, and powerhouses. I'll add additional public domain images to this article in the near future, one of which will represent the spillway as the postage stamp by Margaret Bourke-White did. Thanks. --Ltvine 17:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is "friction angle" the same as "angle of repose"?[edit]

The following sentence appears in the section: Fort Peck Dam#Dam failure during construction:

The core material turned out to be much stronger than expected (having a friction angle of approximately 29 degrees) and was carried out into the slide nearly in a solid mass, making it unlikely that the core was the weak point in the slide.

Is "friction angle" a synonym for "angle of repose"? If so, I would like to change the wording to angle of repose and link it. --Teratornis 15:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coastline[edit]

Fort Peck Lake doesn't really have a longer coastline than California, right? Not if you use a consistent measurement between both. It seems to me this figure should be double-checked from another source.

If *true*, though, this stat should probably not be included in the second sentence of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.145.224.113 (talk) 23:37, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tyrannosaurus[edit]

I was redirected to Fort Peck Dam from a link to Fort Peck Reservoir in an article about T. Rex. Neither the Dam or the Lake article have anything about the T. Rex found there. Has someone edited it out? It seems like it would be worth including. Here is a link. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-nations-t-rex-how-a-montana-moms-hike-led-to-an-incredible-discovery/2019/06/01/2bd276f8-8252-11e9-bce7-40b4105f7ca0_story.html There is a relevant section in another article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_M._Russell_National_Wildlife_Refuge#Notable_fossil_discoveries Nlight2 (talk) 08:58, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
