Edits to Endless Pools
[edit]Hello. I noticed that you removed a statement that I recently added to the Endless Pools article, regarding them being a more sustainable alternative to normal pools. Thanks for noticing that the statement could use a source--I agree. It would have been ideal if I had found and added a source when I added the statement. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time right then. An alternative you may consider to deleting unsourced material from wikipedia is to add the following: {{fact}}. That will produce the the statement "[citation needed]" after the statement with the missing material. That way, anyone reading the article can try to help find a source to support the statement. For example, in this case I found the following reference to a Sunset Magazine article. The use of an Endless Pool in the sustainable, LEED certified idea house was also reported here. What do you think about putting the statement back in with one or both of these references? Shanata (talk) 07:50, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Of course, I was just trying to save it from deletion.Bvdrunner (talk) 16:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
