redirected WOTUS page to Clean Water Rule
editTwo topics are very hard to distinguish from each other, and any future efforts to complete the WOTUS page (currently flagged for inadequate coverage) is likely to copy the content and structure of this page. Attempts to redirect here were perceived as vandalism and reversed by Yoshi24517. He appears to be using a bot that aggressively labels legitimate actions as vandalism.
Major update completed
editWe are currently addressing the need for more sources and explanation of the implications of the Clean Water Rule, as well as recent developments, by adding sections on the history, controversies and future of the rule. SemiTalia (talk) 01:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)SemiTalia

Hoping to add media from both sides on this rule. Need to find sources that are in the public domain. Links to images: http://www.spk.usace.army.mil/Portals/12/documents/regulatory/images/Jurisdictional-10-404-103.gif http://dailysignal.com/wp-content/uploads/SAY_NO_INFOGRAPH_695px.jpg Not sure if there is a way these be added to wikimedia commons?

- The article indeed has neutrality issues, but I really don't think ditchtherule.fb.org can be considered "neutral". I also don't think it's in the public domain. The work by the Army Corps of Engineers on the other hand, as the work of an employee of the federal government that was created in the course of his duties, should indeed be in the public domain. What we'd really need, though, are texts written by third parties, not images by organizations either involved in the Clean Water Rule or lobbying against it. Huon (talk) 22:22, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help. Showing both sides of an issue is important as long as it is clear they are points of view on the rule. But I understand if it isn't necessarily right for the media on wikipedia. I am still not sure how to insert the work by the Army Corps of Engineers, since it is not already in the commons, any suggestions? SemiTalia (talk) 03:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
