Possible Edits

I'm suggesting edits for this page which include the following. In the opening sentence, it's important to mention the thousands injured along with the ones who died. Rewriting the second sentence also would improve clarity. Editing the sentence explaining what all is included in the memorial will help with conciseness. Mentioning the existence of hiking trails and picnicking areas at the memorial is also an addition that's needed because its an important part of the memorial that isn't mentioned. Lastly, I will add references that support my edits.Beaminglights (talk) 16:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There were originally multiple comments here about the "earthen structure" description. I made an "Earthen Structure" heading and moved the comments there. KjessJKT (talk) 18:16, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Earthen Structure

The article talks about the dam as an "earthen structure" but doesn't explain it very well. KjessJKT (talk) 18:16, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll include that the "earthen structure" was structurally lacking to give some background to the readers. Beaminglights (talk) 16:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Beaninglights: Where in the article are you going to expand on the description of "earthen structure"? KjessJKT (talk) 18:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also suggesting adding a hyperlink for the term "earthen structure" so that readers can go and read and gain a deeper understanding as to why the South Fork Dam was structurally lacking. Nate0023 (talk) 20:01, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
