This is a very controversial topic, and I suggest the last three paragraphs in the "Yadkin Division" section are not in compliance with Wikipedia's NPOV policy. Specifically, the information does not represent all sides of the issue. For instance, there is no mention made of the governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations who signed the Relicensing Settlement Agreement. One suggestion would be to remove the controversial material until a final resolution is made by FERC or the court(s). If you insist on including it in the article, then I suggest a subsection on the controversy with all points of view being more fairly and accurately represented.

I was hoping for some input from previous editors. I've just posted a revision which I think is more event-based and neutral. I'll supply needed citations when I have more time. It's my opinion that if we go into more detail, especially if we open up the pandora's box of reporting opinions, talking points and "he said, she saids", this will become an extremely long section. I think this section also needs a current events template. YadkinRiverRat ( talk) 01:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm baffled as to the removal of the current event template, and undid it. :) I don't know if you're familiar with these happenings. I've kept the entry short and simplified, but it's an ongoing process which could fill up pages and pages, and, frankly, has in local newspapers. It's unresolved, and is certain to continue until resolution is reached. Why isn't that a current event? YadkinRiverRat ( talk) 10:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC) While most media coverage has been within North Carolina, there has also been national press coverage. -- YadkinRiverRat ( talk) 07:04, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I didn't intend for the controversy to get this detailed, and I'm unsure how to present this, but:
"Having the state take over the Yadkin dams would involve a series of complicated maneuvers that would have the federal government agreeing for the first time to take control of a private hydroelectric project and then having the state buy it."Bonner, Lynn (2010-06-27). "Perdue, Alcoa vie over river". News & Observer. Retrieved 2010-07-01. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 22:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
We definitely have national coverage.

The Associated Press June 29, 2010, 5:51PM ET text size: TT Erin Brockovich worries about NC river pollution Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:08, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I found a correction in an article I had used as a source, so I took advantage of that to revise and add some more details. I used Yes Weekly to confirm Brockovich spoke twice in one day; some of the other sources didn't acknowledge this although you know they wouldn't have made a mistake like this. Wake Forest University hasn't been outside Raleigh, North Carolina for years. In fact, she spoke IN Raleigh and at Wake Forest the same day.

This person didn't go about it correctly (inserting the "approved version" into the text in large print) but wanted some changes to the article. Once I realized the person was presenting the version of the article he/she wanted, I decided most of the recommended changes would probably be acceptable provided they are sourced. Look at this and this. One of the proposed changes seemed like speculation and I didn't bother with it. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
I was looking at a newspaper article about APGI's Badin operation which said Tapoco had been sold. So I looked at the Tapoco section of this article, and at the separate Tapoco article. It appears that there's not much in the other article and it might be best to put it here, since most of what is there concerns APGI and not the current owner Brookfield.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:08, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
