Comments[edit]

I have noticed that some of the facts and figures differ from source to source. Does anyone have a solution for this? The figures in the Infobox were collected from the article itself and from the World Lakes Database, with preference given generally to the World lakes Database because it has proven to be a fairly reliable source. If you dispute these figures, or any other portion of the article, please be welcome to update the details; but remember to cite references where appropriate :D Em3rald 17:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment[edit]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Lake Kariba/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of September 18, 2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

This article does not meet the broadness GA criterion, 3a. We're told that it's "one of the world's largest man-made reservoirs", but we're told nothing about its construction.

Where were the local Tonga people moved to?

The last three sections – Ecology, Protected Areas, and In popular culture – are entirely uncited.

Some observations on this:
- The 'where' of the relocation is addressed in the second paragraph.
- While the construction of such a large project might be included -- and I hope that someone will do so -- I don't think is required to meet the GA designation. I haven't encountered problems with that designation before so am not certain. Could you do some advising here on the discussion page?
- Ecology needs more references. I think that the section on protected areas is fine, although a map would be helpful. In Popular Culture needs citations, especially and most importantly re ownership of a resort.
- I haven't checked the references yet; some of this may already be covered there.
- Not, perhaps, a fully satisfying GA because of the lack of citations but but very close. I hope that more is done with it.
- I don't check for changes on Wikipedia as often as I should, and certainly not my own talk page, but will look for your assistance here.
