Talk:St. Croix River (Wisconsin–Minnesota)

To-do
Needs section on history of waterway. (Began 11/4/2005)

Needs section on Noteable Bridges


 * Hi (to anyone still here after 3 years!) - I'll take a hack at starting this section, and expanding the History section. Pfc598 (talk) 02:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Needs section on activities (canoeing, fishing, camping, boating, sightseeing)

Other languages
Not sure what the protocol is, or at least the standard, on providing so many names in alternate languages. I like it and find it very interesting personally, but we don't give the names in other languages for the United States in the article about the United States. I don't want to delete it, but it certainly is something worth talking about. Any thoughts out there in Wikiville? the dharma bum 02:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I think the inclusion of Native names for geographic features of the Americas is relevant and informative to the history and context of these features and their regions, as is the inclusion of variant names assigned by early European explorers (i.e., there were French names for various features in the upper midwest, some of which were kept, some of which were translated to English, and some of which were discarded).

 * I thought some more about it after I posed the question last night and pretty much came to the same conclusion, especially based on the historical insights the names provide. Thanks for the thoughts. --the dharma bum 15:34, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

New fishing section
I'm concerned that an unpublished source should not be used here, these are unverified claims and also probably could be considered unfair to the marinas. Discuss? -- Dskluz 06:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It's a question of verifablity. Please see Verifiability. Because this source is unpublished, other editors and readers cannot verfify this information has been published by a reliable source, as is required for inclusion in Wikipedia. It is therefore not a verified source. I don't question the truth of this, but the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. As I said, by Wikipedia standards this is not a verifiable source. --- Dskluz 16:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

St. Croix River Association?
Would like to add a small section (one-two sentences) about the St Croix River Association, just not sure where/how to add it. Thoughts? Archivist100 (talk) 19:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on the breadth of their focus, I would think about creating a new section entitled something like "Conservation efforts". Most of the last two paragraphs in the "Geography and hydrography" section (starting with The St. Croix River was one of the original eight rivers to have...) could be moved there as well. It's designation as a Wild and Scenic River is mentioned, but there's no explanation of why or the people who made it possible. Mentioning the SCRA would be a start.

Thanks, I added a "Conservation efforts" section and a paragraph on the St. Croix River Association. Archivist100 (talk) 22:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Bridge peril
If the construction of an interstate bridge imperils the state of the lower reaches of the river, surely it should be possible to cite some proof of this. AHMartin (talk) 15:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Is it pronounced in the French manner, or in some other way?Sylvain1972 (talk) 20:38, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
