The article states that Brownlee dam/reservoir started to fill on May 9, 1958. That is incorrect. An article in the La Grande Observer (La Grande, Oregon) dated 28 February 1958 describes the filling and inundation of the townsite of Robinette, OR on the evening of February 27, 1958 with the water level rising about 1 foot per hour. The article is entitled, "Brownlee Dam Sounds the Death Knell of Western Village." You can find this article at Newspapers.com (subscription required) by searching Robinette, Oregon, 1958. I can also provide it to you if I could figure out how to upload it using your less-than-friendly interface.

- Seems like this request is meant for Talk:Brownlee Dam ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:05, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Here is the link to the referenced article: [1]. It sounds to me like this was a seasonal flood, not caused by the construction of the dam. I searched and found another article from April that describes the town as "soon to be covered" [2]. --Lasunncty (talk) 01:20, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- Not done: Please make your request at the appropriate talk page (The one for the article you are requesting to be edited.) I closed the tage here to help clear the Conflict Of Interest backlog. Also this doesnt appear to be a conflict of interest request. Signed, I Am Chaos (talk) 21:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
