Draft:Musapur Closure Dam

  • Comment: ZeroGPT reports that 82% of the text is AI-generated, Sapling says 100% from "The conceptual design work began..." down, and Copyleaks reports 100%. Before accepting the draft, sources should be examined closely to determine whether they back up the text or are LLM hallucinations. Studying a couple at random, #8 and #11 only partly support the content where cited, and #11 contradicts some of the content. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:59, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: This draft covers a locally significant piece of infrastructure, the Musapur Closure Dam, which has received substantial media coverage due to its construction, collapse, and community response. The sourcing is strong, with multiple independent, reliable Bangladeshi news outlets cited. However, the article needs structural improvement—please organize it under clear sections such as: Overview, History, Collapse and Impact, and Community Response. Each factual statement must be supported by inline citations. The tone should be neutral and encyclopedic. Once these revisions are made, and formatting aligned with Wikipedia standards, the draft will be suitable for mainspace inclusion. Consider adding an Infobox dam for technical clarity and relevant categories to enhance discoverability. Icem4k (talk) 20:14, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Musapur Closure (Bengali: মুছাপুর ক্লোজার) is a river control structure located in the Musapur Union of Companiganj Upazila, Noakhali District, Bangladesh.[1] Constructed at the estuary of the Choto Feni River, the closure was built primarily for river erosion control, flood management, and water regulation.[2] Over time, it has also become a popular tourist destination due to its scenic beauty and coastal environment.[3][4]
