A fact from Aras Dam appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 February 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a dam was built on the Aras River in the 1960s, and inaugurated in 1971, with two hydroelectric power generators in Iran and two in Azerbaijan?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/February.

Specification

In the specifications section is states "At a normal water elevation of 7,775 m (25,509 ft) above sea level, ...". This is just wrong. From Google Earth we can see that the elevation is approximately 760 meters above sea level, so I guess the decimal place is in the wrong spot. I didn't fix it as I couldn't find an suitable reference.

Yes, you are right. It should be 777.5 meters. It seems that the source is dead now, However, it could be see through Google Docs Viewer at the page 8. Beagel (talk) 17:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Billingd (talk) 17:33, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I propose to merge Araz reservoir into this article. Right now there is significant overlapping of these articles. Also, reservoirs are usually significant as a part of hydrocomplex created by the dam. Beagel (talk) 07:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger completed. Beagel (talk) 15:19, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
