...or do the coordinates given point to somewhere in South America, near the border of Argentina and Brazil? (I do not know the actual coordinates for the dam, so I can't fix that.) Shannon1 ^talk ^contribs 04:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I am talking about the green point, as that is the only one I happen to see . Shannon1 ^talk ^contribs 02:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

"concrete gravity dam"

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Moved here from Talk:Wiki:

Dear Wikipedia editors:The first line of Shihmen Dam article, it stated that Shihmen dam is a concrete gravity dam. It is wrong. The dam is an earth dam. Please correct. Thank you. I involved in the dam construction as a geologist. The dam foundation was mapped by me. Stanley Sun, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.134.221 (talk) 07:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I think there is confusion over which Shimen Dam is which. The big upstream dam is definitely an embankment type and it appears that the tail-water dam just downstream is a gravity type. The article has contradicting dates for construction completion as well...1953 or 1964? Some sources I checked show confusion over the dam's height and completion date as well and the reproduction of this article on other internet sites probably isn't helping. The coordinates for the dam in the article landed on the lower dam, I moved em' to the upper embankment one. I will look into it more soon but if anyone else can help, please do.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:12, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
