[edit] News

The "news" section at the end of this article has only two listed news references. Pebble Mine is a topic that has been covered extensively by all kinds of news media, and the coverage is ongoing. If this section isn't going to be made complete or current, I think it should be removed.

I disagree. If the News section is too small the remedy is to add to it, not eliminate it. Plazak (talk) 12:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality Check

Currently this article is heavily slanted against the mine project.

Slanted statements should be left out of the proposal and location sections.

The "Arguments for the proposal" section should at least contain arguments fo the proposal instead of ambiguous statements that could do not argue anything.


Also the article in general is several months out of date and needs to be updated.

Frankly I am suprised that this page does not contain more information considering the size of this project and the nationwide attention is has garnered recently Skaz (talk) 22:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery

I removed the gallery because I do not believe it helps to the topic.

For one, the pictures are not of pebble mine, but of land where pebble mine is proposed to be located. I understand the intent is tho show how pristine the area is, but we do not need a full gallery of pictures of nature in an article about a mine.

Another reason is that I could take a picture of any hill near any lake and say it is near pebble mine. Not that I'm doubting the truthfulness of the location in the picturs, but there is nothing in the pictures that makes them specific to the Pebble Mine location.

[edit] To Do List

I feel the following topics need to be added to this article. I will try to do what I can as I have time:

  • Discussion about the ongoing citizens initiatives and their possible impact on the project
  • Current status of the project. This would go more indepth into where things stand as far as exploration, permitting, feasibility studies, etc.


Thats all I have at the moment...feel free to add in. Skaz (talk) 19:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ownership and operator

We need a "Ownership and operator" section.

  • Operator:
    • Pebble Mines Corp.
  • Owner:
    • Pebble Limited Partnership
      • 50% - Anglo American PLC
      • 50% - Northern Dynasty Minerals LTD (19.6 % - Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc., a subsidiary of Rio Tinto plc; 9.1% - Mitsubishi Corporation)

Opinions, ideas?

I would like to know where the name came from. Why "Pebble" Mine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.229.172.104 (talk) 04:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
