:Jugus created the page (3 years after Halo 3's release, mind you), but it's possible he created it from a red link or something. We might need someone to check the environment in the level ''Sierra 117'', the ''Halo 3: Official Guide'', or some game magazine issues from 2007. —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 06:51, 21 October 2015 (EDT) | :Jugus created the page (3 years after Halo 3's release, mind you), but it's possible he created it from a red link or something.

I guess I will do it right now, I'll get back here soon, but I think it means the this river is in the Nkuu territory and not the actual name, which would be a mistake on the part of the person who linked it.

:Jugus isn't the one who wrote the article. While he created it here on Halopedia after the split with Halo Nation, another user is responsible for creating the page originally back in 2008 as [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Nkuu_River?action=history seen here]. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 09:14, 21 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
::What NightHammer said, although to clarify, the articles were automatically imported here from the Wikia site back in 2010, and all of the revisions weren't always carried over - in this case the earliest revision to be imported just happened to be mine. I did actually question the canonical legitimacy of the article back in the day, as seen above. I still hold that it's very questionable where the name came from. If anyone can't find a source, the page should be deleted. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 13:14, 21 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
:::I can't find any source for this. Could have been deleted. The user that created the article alongside some edits to the GWC articles, so there might be a reference to the river in-game or in some post about the map (Ghost Town) when it was released. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 13:53, 21 October 2015 (EDT) | |||

I come from a french Wiki, the WikiHalo. Us, we verify our sources to avoid providing false information... One last thing, the GWC is not a company but a government initiative ("The government’s Global Water Campaign built a large purification facility for the transport of snowmelt from Mount Kilimanjaro to the facility."

:My mistake, Jugus. If no one can find any indication for the river's name, then this page should be deleted. I don't see why Bungie would give the river a name, especially when that river is only there for one level and serves no narrativep. ''@Starepublic'': You are more than welcome to edit the GWC page. —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 15:37, 21 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
So the article was moved to a new name and [http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Weru_Weru_River&diff=1156514&oldid=1146821 quite a bit of info was added], but I'm still not convinced this page is worth keeping. All we have for a "source" is 21st-century map data which doesn't connect the real-world Weru Weru River with the river in ''Halo 3'' in any way, not when we have no accurate coordinate data available in the game. And where does the info on the dam's construction come from anyway? It's certainly not listed in the source and sounds an awful lot like fanon. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 14:02, 20 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
:Agreed. I didn't even notice the move. Should be deleted since there doesn't look like there is a source. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 14:11, 20 March 2016 (EDT) | |||
