Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because Hog Farm brought up issues with updating and potential undue weight on Guthrie (I'd prefer an "in culture" prose section, if warranted by RS coverage). Another issue that I noticed is that while the article mentions displacement and compensation to Colville Indians, it doesn't say that these people were never even consulted before the dam was built.

 * I've been to the dam and its visitor center and they have part of the exhibit dedicated to Guthrie and his album on the Columbia. If there are other cultural references a broader section would be fine bit I don't really see an undue weight issue since he had an important role in publicizing the project. This page of Currents and Undercurrents: An Administrative History of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area has info about land purchase from the Colville, but I didn't find an affirmative statement about the lack of consultation.

 * Move to FARC, no edits, no interest shown. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  20:41, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC, as needed improvements have not occurred. Even if the Guthrie concern is more debatable, there is certainly outdated material. Hog Farm Talk 05:00, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

 * For many reasons, I hardly edit WP anymore. I do find it a bit absurd though that a handful of editors have a handful of issues with an article... do an FA review, seem to wait for the cavalry to arrive, then demote when they inevitably don't.--NortyNort (Holla) 01:57, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
