Questions

The date on the article about the unfortunate girl is 2008 (in the references list) but the event happened in 2009. I would have changed it but I am not familiar with how to do it.

What is the source of the water coming into the reservoir? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paustin (talk • contribs) 2:26, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

The date has been fixed. Maybe someone with local knowledge can answer the second question. --Orlady (talk) 00:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Girl's name

An anonymous user has been trying to add the name of the girl who died at the reservoir. I have been removing her name because her name does not help tell the story of the reservoir, and I perceive that she was a low-profile individual (see Wikipedia:Who is a low profile individual) who is known only for one event, and I believe that her right to privacy (even after her death) and her family's right to privacy are diminished by using her name in an encyclopedia article. It is possible that the person adding her name is trying to create a memorial, but Wikipedia is not a memorial.

If you think her name is needed here, please explain your thinking. --Orlady (talk) 00:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
