The third picture (Grand_Coulee.jpg) is the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River and not the dam of the Grand Coulee which is earthen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.141.119 (talk) 07:39, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

The second sentence in the sixth paragraph under "Geological History" needs to be repaired. "Most of the displaced soil created new landforms, but most of it was carried far out into the Pacific Ocean." You can't use most twice to refer to different things happening to the displaced soil. This was introduced in a massive edit by 24.18.194.166 at 11:02, 31 May 2011. I can't be bothered to figure out what is right since that entire edit is unreferenced.

"The sound could be heard from 30 miles away"? This whole paragraph reads like an eyewitness account. The prose needs to be toned down and it needs to be referenced. Keno (talk) 01:05, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Picture of Grand Coulee Dam On the Columbia River

The third picture in this article has a confusing caption. The picture is of the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. The caption implies that this is the impound dam on the Grand Coulee above the Dry Falls. Two completely different places and dams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.137.158 (talk) 06:41, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
