Gallery
Image:Garden pond_1.jpg|Garden pond I really don't understand why people keep removing picture galleries from the pages of Wikipedia. Could someone please explain the logic? v/r Peter Rimar Chitrapa 11:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * How often is it done? The person who does it would leave a signature. You can confront them for their reasons.--Mark v1.0 04:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I put your 3 pictures back in.I don't know where they were placed before, hope its ok.--Mark v1.0 04:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Messed up format
I came today to see the page, photos and layout are all messed up.--Mark v1.0 04:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC) I'm going to try to delete the photo advertisements. Ok Its back to normal, but I think the page had far more content in the past.--Mark v1.0 04:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Heather something added the photo's . Outright advertising in a photo I don't think is allowed.

I like the photo's, if you cut out the ads, and place them properly in the page no one can object.--Mark v1.0 04:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC) "Heather" was created to put ads in I believe, with a one day, of the 13th history. Testing timestamp being calibrated now--Mark v1.0 05:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Testing timestamp 2nd try--Mark v1.0 05:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Conclusion, you can't fix the timestamp calibration--Mark v1.0 05:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Wild River
This section needs some work on grammar, but is it necessary in the first place? Nerdygeek101 (talk) 15:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The section name has been changed to "Stream gardens" and is useful for information about oxygenation and more text about flowing water could be added, but the rather absurd and irrelevant pictures of rivers remain. 72.179.53.2 (talk) 01:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC) Eric

Water garden craziness
Some people make an alligator, a snapping turtle or some other large and long-lived creature the central feature of their water garden, which was called a fishpond when I was growing up, and I knew of at least three alligators in fishponds in the S. F. Bay Area. Water gardens have practically unlimited possibilities if one wants to create a variety of habitats for plants and animals in a limited space. Tree frogs (Hyla cinerea) like cattails. Some kinds of salamanders like to climb out and hide in wet rocks, if they are available. This article is a disappointment in a way, because the advertising has polluted it. Much more could be said about the animals and plants in a well-planned water garden. We need to find the right sources. 72.179.53.2 (talk) 01:39, 21 June 2012 (UTC) Eric

Merging information from Water feature
There was a proposed split of the 'Types of water features' section to the water feature article. I didn't see a discussion, and seemed like a logical change. I moved the list to the water feature page, pulled a description for this page, and renamed the section to 'water features'. Feel free to adjust as needed.
