I've replaced the Salton Sea stub with a greatly increased discussion of it's formation, overall history, and some of the environmental and political issues.
However, it still needs work: the history is brief and I intermingle history and politics when they should probably be separate.
Since the Salton Sea (and what to do with it) can be a sensitive issue for people in those parts, I've tried not to offend, but it will likely take a few revisions to get a good NPOV.

- Super, that's a lot more useful that the junk I left here those many months ago. I hope you'll add a photo or two, and ideally details of the settlements that (if memory serves) surround the sea. Also, I don't know if there are any rivers that naturally flow into the salton sea (I guess there aren't), but any artificial inflows should be added to List of rivers of the Americas by coastline's "inland basins" section. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:05, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Local communities added and linked to, most of which are just census data stubs and should be fleshed out at some point, with links back to the Sea. Local river basin has been described, and some of the overall information on desalination efforts was added. Partial Metric conversion, too, to save someone the effort later (Aside: how do metric countries measure irrigation water---i.e. what's the closest metric equivalent to acre-feet? I've never thought of that before). -- Kaszeta 13:29, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

An anon had deleted the Disasters category link. Let it be clear that that tag is there because the lake was formed by a dike breach, a disaster by any definition; it is not a judgement about whether the resultant lake is a Good Thing or not, a matter about which we should maintain NPOV of course. seglea 06:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
