Article is missing citations

I noticed that Hike395 removed the Articleissues template from the article, claiming that the article has references or it has sufficient references. With all due respect, that is totally wrong. The article may have references, but they are not cited in the article per the Wikipedia Manual of Style, Citing sources or Verifiablity. As such, I will point out in the article where facts stated require citations. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 10:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject banners

Added the WikiProject Los Angeles and WikiProject Southern California banners since Owens Lake was dried up by the City of Los Angeles diverting the Owens River into their aqueduct. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 11:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Swarms of Earthquakes

I'm still watching the reports coming in of "minor to moderate" tremors near this lake. I can't even begin to count them as they've fell off the page I'm watching, but it may have exceeded a hundred averaging at around 2.5 magnitude, there are certainly a half century. Interestingly, this article discusses something about the lake being dried up and a subsequent dust hazard which the authorities are aiming to alleviate. Apparently the Dust Emission Season runs from 1st October and is such a time that they pump water into the lake. Coincidence? [1] [2] Mere Mortal (talk) 04:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
