[edit] Commons link

The image at Wikimedia Commons was already in the article for John Day Dam.
Didn't you see it? I removed your link because it added no extra value to the article. If you add new images not already found in the article, then go ahead and link back. But, until then it is not worth it.
Also, if you want to move all the dam pictures to Wikimedia Commons and then link there go for it.

- I disagree, I find having these commons links extremely useful when I'm translating articles into other languages as I can immitately see what images I can use from the commons. Furthermore, just because it only contains one image now people might add to it later which would increase the value of the link. I consider the interproject links to be equivalent to interlanguage links, which you wouldn't remove just because all the information in the linked language already exists at this article. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 09:30, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

- Can you at least add them without pushing the external links way down the page? WikiDon 09:38, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 1996 blackout
this story seems like a significant bit of the history of the dam. -Pete (talk) 21:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

The Modern Day Columbia River – Part Two
Environmentalists often call Columbia River dams “fish killers.” But in fact the deadliest dam isn’t a dam at all: it’s a 76-mile reservoir that pools behind a dam east of The Dalles, Oregon.
In part two of our journey down the Columbia River, correspondent Anna King takes a closer look at the deadly John Day reservoir.
