RE: Your contributions
Dear Chelan County Public Utility District,

First let me say "welcome!"

RE:

While you have added great quantity to the articles, you have stripped out all the Wikilinks, and the formatting that we are trying to achieve in all of the articles here. Wikipedia would love for you to help contribute to making a better encyclopedia, but, I must ask that you do it in such a manner as to appear to be similar in format to the other articles. It appears that you just did copy+paste from your website (www.chelanpud.org/) This makes quick work of making the article long, but makes a lot of work for someone else to Wikify the article. I would ask that you complete this task.

Also, items like the reservoir, and fish hatchery, need to be separate articles, they are separate items.

In addition, the photos that you have submitted, don't really work. Showing flowers in an article for a dam just doesn't fly. You might be able to use the flower photo in an article for a turbine screw, but not a dam. These will have to be changed. A dam article should have a dam picture.

The images that you do submit need a copyright tag (Image tags), or they will get deleted by an image administrator.

Please read through the "Manual of Style", "How to edit a page", etc. (see above), and of course ask a friendly neighbor for assistance.

Carry on,

Thank you for working to clean-up your articles, but, can you look at the other dam articles, and other articles in general (the "Manual of Style", "How to edit a page", etc.), and see how they are done.

Try looking at List of reservoirs and dams in the United States, and then checking out the other dam articles. Also you might search for other PUD's.

Good luck.
