Hi Emma, I'm just testing this out! --Catetoma (talk) 19:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Your first edit
Hi Emma - great job on the first edit!! The only other thing I'd add is that you should have provided an internal link to the article you edited in your note to me on my talk page. You do that by using two square brackets (these [ ] ) around the phrase you want to link to; e.g. United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union. Keep an eye on the entry and see if you edit stays there or is reverted! --Greentina (talk) 21:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Emma - just a second kudos on your first edit. Good info, and two citations! Keep it up.  The Interior  (Talk) 22:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Article outline
Our article outline has now been posted on the Kenney Dam talk page (see article talk page for bullet-point description of subsections). I will be working on the "History" section, which we have broken into three sub-sections. "Selection of the dam site" will involve background on Alcan's motivation for choosing the Nechako River and the granting of the water license by British Columbia. (Part of this section will form the 250-400 word "go live.") "Dam construction" includes an overview of the Kemano project including technical specifications of the dam (some of this information is already in the article); it is also the area where we'll describe the land area flooded and mention the consequent non-native displacement (Aboriginal dislocation was of a greater scale and was more controversial, thus meriting its own sub-section). There is already a Wikipedia entry on Kitimat, however the creation of the town was a direct result of the Kenney Dam, and therefore deserves some brief acknowledgment in the article.
