Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

A fact from Aldeadávila Dam appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Spain's Aldeadávila Dam, completed in 1962, was featured in the 1965 David Lean film Doctor Zhivago?

Reservoir volume[edit]

This is an awesome new article but I am stumped by the reservoir volume. Currently, the cited source has 250,000 m3 but this source has 115 hm3 or 11,500,000 m3. 250,000 m3 seems small for such a tall dam even though it is in a steep canyon and 11.5 million appears more appropriate. The Spanish Wikipedia article uses the 11.5 million as well. I didn't want to make a change without discussing first. Thoughts?--NortyNort (Holla) 03:05, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that 1 cubic hectometre = 1,000,000 cubic metres, which would make the capacity 115,000,000 cubic metres (or 115 km3). I agree that the Goldsmith number is incorrect. I've found a better source! And one that agrees that about 115 km3 is the correct total storage capacity. It also distinguished between total capacity and live capacity, which helps as well. (In my research, I was coming up with both numbers, and the ICOLD citation explains why.) - Tim1965 (talk) 19:42, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, your conversion was right. I was using a crappy converter I guess. It would be nice if the infobox had live/dead storage.--NortyNort (Holla) 21:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! I thought my math was bad! Hey, I like that suggestion about storage. Suggest that over at Template:Infobox dam. - Tim1965 (talk) 23:08, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blame the converter...or my eyes. Sadly, I guess I'm not the kind of person who likes to see extra zeros. I made the suggestion there, seems pretty easy to get done. Thanks.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:40, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
