Asia's biggest dam

You may find reliable sources (e.g., news reports) that say that Magat Dam was/is the largest dam in Asia. This isn't true since I find references to larger and earlier dams such as the ones on the Indus River in Pakistan. The "largest" dam probably needs to be qualified: is it the largest dam by structure? by volume of water in the reservoir? by surface area of the reservoir? --seav (talk) 01:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Magat Dam politicized, article should be reviewed

As of writing, I found that the Magat Dam is recently being politicized and attributed to/associated with certain political and/or historical figures to further certain narratives said political figures.

With this in mind, I have read the citations and references in this article and have found that some attributions are lacking valid reference or are only partial. I will double check said references.

I believe that the article and its references should be reviewed in spirit of epiricism and integrity. Mainly, claims and attributions need to be properly cited and backed by valid references. Those claims that do not have sufficient evidence should be revised or omitted.

Let us work together towards creating an impartial and objective tertiary source and combating disinformation and manipulative depictions. 49.150.75.41 (talk) 20:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
