My Project

I am going to write an article titled Pelican River Watershed. I think that the Pelican River Watershed deserves a 1500+ word article on Wikipedia because it deals with issues regarding the lakes and rivers of the Detroit Lakes, Minnesota area. The major lakes included in this watershed are: Big & Little Floyd, Big & Little Detroit, Sallie, Melissa, Long, Pearl, Fox, St. Clair, Munson, Abbey, Meadow, Johnson, and Reeves. These bodies of water have a large impact on the number of tourists that visit Detroit Lakes in the summer months, in turn helping out the city's economy in many ways. There are no entries on Wikipedia about this topic yet, so I plan on writing on the physical and cultural aspects of the watershed.

List one:

• Rice Creek
• Lake Minnetonka
• Mississippi River Basin Watershed
• Watershed
• St. Croix River
• Knife River Watershed

List two:

• Detroit Lakes
• Watershed
• Becker County
• Otter Tail County
• a link to any of the major lakes in the watershed
• water sports, etc.

Thoughts from Josh. Lisa, this sounds like a good project. I'm a big fan of thinking about geography by dividing the world into watershed areas rather than cities, counties, or other political units. I think the exact title of your article should be Pelican River watershed or Pelican River. You may want to do some thinking about what the differences between those two articles would be and which is more appropriate for your topic. Please format your lists with bullet points and wiki links. I notice that you haven't included any watershed articles as models? Maybe you want to look for some? Creek, river, lake, articles will all be organized a little differently than watershed articles. Have you started looking for research materials yet? Do you think there is enough out there for 1500-200 words? If you have any questions about your project proposal, write me a note here, and write "QUESTION FOR JOSH" in the edit summary box when you hit the "save page" button. I'll stop by later to answer. 1013-josh 20:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
