Original research?[edit]

When an article has so much text with no inline citations, there is often some plagiarism involved. This is probably not the case here. The main contributors seem to be from a project called OIKOS, funded by the European Commission, and they have a similar document on their web site. However, it does raise the question of whether it involves original research. This makes adequate citations all the more important. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The organization, grammar, and sentence structure were very poor when I found this article in June 2015. (If plagiarism was involved, I shudder to think of the original source material.) This hampered efforts to add inline citations. I have done some serious copy editing, and am fairly certain what remains is not original research. A fair amount of it is supported by other wikiarticles, and I have been slowly adding appropriate wikilinks. What I do not have are the books and papers listed in the references section. Someone with access to these or similar publications still needs to work on adding inline citations.Elriana (talk) 15:01, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and removed the "original research" tag. Kudos to Elriana (talk · contribs) for untangling this mess! — Gorthian (talk) 08:44, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Inline citations would still be a great improvement. Elriana (talk) 16:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rockfall barrier[edit]

There's a Draft:Rockfall barrier in the works. Should that redirect here or to Flexible debris-resisting barrier? AngusW🐶🐶F (barksniff) 18:10, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]


New articles on rockfall mitigation structures[edit]

Dear members

I am a brand new contributor....    I contact you upon request from AngusWOOF (talk · contribs). The issue here is the relevance of creating specific pages for rockfall mitigation structures, and in particular embankments and barriers. I recently created an article on rockfall protection embankments and submitted a draft dealing with rockfal barriers. 

The question concerns the relevance of merging these documents with the article 'Landslide mitigation'.To me there is a lot to say about these protection structures and it would take to much place here. I thus have the feeling it wouldn't be the best choice to merge all these. I would really appreciate having your opinion!

As an extra topic, there exists a draft concerning Flexible debris-resisting barrier. Its content is much than other articles less at this stage. One option could be to merge this latter with another one. Indeed, debris resisting barriers are derived from rockfall barriers and are used to mitigate debris flows mainly. Another alternative would be to delete it.
