There used to be a comprehensive article here. What happened to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.91.86.2 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Corrections

As a representative of Dominion Resources, I'd like to request that some information be corrected on this page. Specifically some information appearing in the box on the right-hand side of the page.

First, William Berry is not the founder of Dominion Resources. He was president of the company in 1980 when Dominion redefined its corporate identity and image. This information is available in Dominion's history on our Web site. No single individual is credited as the founder of Dominion Resources.

Second, Mark McGettrick is incorrectly listed as COO. Our Annual Report and 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission for 2007 show that his correct title is Executive Vice President. - DomRes 16 October 2008 —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC).

[edit] Brand new effort

Starting today I will be working to improve this article; Dominion Resources is a client of my employer, so I have a potential conflict of interest, and I pledge that all of my contributions will satisfy WP:VERIFY WP:RS, WP:NPOV and the rest. All of my direct edits should be uncontroversial, but if I believe an edit could be the subject of reasonable debate, I will seek comment here and/or the Help desk. On another note, I had no relationship to Dominion last year when DomRes was involved with this page; I am familiar with what happened then, but my involvement represents a brand new effort. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions about my editing activity. Thanks, NMS Bill (talk) 14:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result was merge into Dominion Resources. -- Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 21:46, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Support

  • Support as Proposer The Dominion Virginia Power article is poorly written and has many NPOV problems as well. All of the other subdivisions of the company have been moved into a single article, so I see no reason that Dominion Virginia Power should not get moved into this article. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Support. Seems like a sound idea to me. However, considering the state of affairs at Dominion Virginia Power's article, one could possibly get away with just simply redirecting it straight over to Dominion Resources. SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Oppose

Comment

  • It's been a week and a half, and no one's commented except the nominator and me, both in support. Merge away... SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
    • I did the merge (per your suggestion to redirect), but I have copied the controversies to my sandbox where I will work to remove the Weasel and NPOV problems and will then paste it back into the article. I will see how soon I can get it done, for my Non-Wikipedia life is busy. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 21:46, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Additions

Should there not be a list, or link to a list, of the power plants Dominion owns? I had to search backwards on Google to find some them. Of course nuclear stations are in the media a lot now with the Fukushima incident, but I think it's valid. Here are two, but I'm not looking to limit the additions to nuclear plants. I think it would be useful to have all available. North Anna Nuclear Generating Station and Surry Nuclear Power Plant. MartinezMD (talk) 01:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
