Eclipse

SounderBruce and Cwmhiraeth, please check whether my edit affects the DYK nom, now at Prep 6. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:16, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: Seems OK to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: According to the source, Cooke claimed that "“exceptionally high tides and currents coinciding with this week’s solar eclipse” caused the damage. That doesn't seen to imply a cause and effect relationship between the eclipse and high tides, as claimed by Cooke.[1] Fraenir (talk) 06:55, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've adjusted the wording. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear to me

Reading this article left me wondering what the basic problem was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:8CFF:108C:11DF:4F0D (talk) 17:08, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to agree. Was this a Bad Thing? What were the consequences? What could have happened? The article based says some fish got out and they tried to get them back. This needs more work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.163.101.38 (talk) 11:54, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not state whether the fish established themselves or not.

So now, ¿what is the result? Either ¿did all of the salmon die? or ¿did the fish establish themselves? Stories need a beginning, middle, and an end. This article lacks an end:

Beginning:

Fish farmed in Washington.

Middle:

Fish escaped.

End:

¿? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.239.209 (talk) 09:45, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
