Something's not right here. The Miya River isn't even in Fukushima Prefecture, so how can the Miyagawa Dam be there? I think it should be Mie Prefecture. There's a number of photos in Category:Miyagawa Dam(Mie prefecture) as well. 98.217.134.243 (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the upper reaches of the Agano River in Fukushima have historically been known as the Miya River. This may be the source of confusion. It seems like the Agano River should be added to the Miya River disambiguation page, and that this page should be turned into a disambiguation page with links to Miyagawa Dam (Fukushima) and Miyagawa Dam (Mie).--98.217.134.243 (talk) 00:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This Japanese wikipedia disambiguation page shows three Miyagawa Dams: one in Mie Prefecture, one in Gifu Prefecture on the Jinzū River which apparently failed in some way, and this one in Fukushima. The "Dams in Japan" website I've been using as a guide lists four Miyagawa Dams: the earthen Miyagawa Bosai in Gifu built in 1971, the earthen Miyagawa Choseichi in Mie built in 1979, the concrete Miyagawa also in Mie built in 1956, and Miyakawa (sic) Dam in Fukushima built in 1962. Based on these sources, this article as it stands right now is accurate, so I'm removing the factual dispute tag. Further work is needed to develop the other relevant articles (if the other dams are notable) and establish a disambiguation page. --Lockley (talk) 02:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
