I have completed this article on the Zuiderzeeworks and I'm interested in any feedback, but primarily on what the proper name should be: the current Zuiderzeeworks or something like Zuiderzee works / Zuiderzee Works / Zuiderzee project? -Scipius
Usually names are not translated. So it has to be Zuiderzee.--MathPaul 09:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Any chance of getting (the name escapes me)one of those bar things on map that let you know what the scale and area of the map is.God what are they called?
Any idea what would be the cost of a project to protect Bangladesh from the regular disastrous floods they experience?

I came here thanks to this article being a featured article. I found it to be interesting, I knew little about the subject. Some questions that came to my mind readily were not answered by the article:
Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the subject could add what they know? Thank you! Celada 03:22, 2004 Nov 20 (UTC)

edit'd: *nevermind what I said here, it was totally bogus* -Das Bootje-
Hi, I am working to encourage implementation of the goals of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. Part of that is to make sure articles cite their sources. This is particularly important for featured articles, since they are a prominent part of Wikipedia. The Fact and Reference Check Project has more information. If some of the external links are reliable sources and were used as references, they can be placed in a References section too. See the cite sources link for how to format them. Thank you, and please leave me a message when a few references have been added to the article. - Taxman 19:53, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
I listed then delisted this on Featured article removal candidates. I see the previous request for references from several months ago (above) wasn't answered. In any case, I'll leave this here for a bit since I started... Here's the problem summary:
I took a quick look online, but didn't see any obvious one-stop for all of the info contained in the article... --Tsavage 03:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
The article says "As with dike buidling, making polders was tried out with the experimental polder at Andijk". But the Netherlands had already built many dikes and polders. So was this a new type of dikes/polders? An explanation would be in place. DirkvdM 20:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
I imagine that as the afsluitdijk grew and the gap shrank, the tidal currents would grow ever stronger, so the last bit must have been done very fast during 'dead tide' (or what is that called?). I probably won't be the only one who wonders about this. DirkvdM 20:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
The map of the Netherlands shows a water connection from the north of the Nooroostpolder to Delfzijl and the IJsselmeer also connects to the North Sea through the IJ and Noordzeekanaal. Are these also used for drainage? A word on this would make sense. DirkvdM 20:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
The use of the word administration is a bit confusing. It can mean several things, but I assume that it was used in the sense of 'government', 'government body' or 'governance' in the 'new land' section, so I changed that, not only because it's an ambigous word, but also because it's American English, whereas the article is written in English English. But in the last paragraph I'm not sure how it is meant. DirkvdM 20:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Could someone tone down the last paragraph? As it's currently written it sounds like the voice-over for a WWII era propaganda film. Encyclopedia articles don't need to have an inspirational conclusion. In fact, they don't need a "conclusion" paragraph (in the sense of a five paragraph essay) at all. -- 22:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
The zuidersea and the new ijselmeer are parts of the waddensea en not from the north sea.
The zuidersea and the ijselmeer are not directly conntected to the north sea. 82.168.234.91 (talk) 17:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Zuiderzee Works or IJsselmeer Works ?
The Zuiderzee became the IJsselmeer and most works have been made after this lake became a fresh water lake long after the "death" of the Zuiderzee; why refering to that ancient sea and not to the IJsselmeer ?

The Bay is at 52°50′N 5°20′E but it would be good to get a more accurate location for the works themselves in the article. WilliamKF (talk) 21:34, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

The caption on the Sentinel-2 aerial photo doesn't make any sense. What purple? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.188.53 (talk) 02:26, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
