Hi P199 article is looking good but I have a query about the hook. From the sources it looks like the generating stations are part-owned by a first nation, with shares in two held by Regional Power and the other by Innergex Renewable Energy? - Dumelow (talk) 07:07, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out. Correction made in the article and hook updated as follows:

Hi P199, remainder of review: article more than 5x expanded from22 October; exceeds minimum length and is well written; sources used are cited inline and appear reliable; I didn't spot any issues with overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; a QPQ has been carried out.
You could mention the first nation involved (Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg, as they have since renamed) as they co-own both plants, rather than a generic link to the First Nations page, but will leave that up to you and the promoter- Dumelow (talk) 10:49, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks @Dumelow:. Just a FYI: it is not the same First Nation band: one is owned by the Pic Mobert FN, the other by Pic River FN (so we can't do just 1 link as you suggest). -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:02, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, yes you are absolutely correct P199, sorry! That'll teach me to pay more attention. Struck that suggestion - Dumelow (talk) 13:05, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
