Salty?

[edit]

In David dick's "History of the Sixx Nations" he jumps to lake Onondaga as "The salt Lake". was this lake always salty? Kingturtle 22:45, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: The lake itself was never salt water; the salt came from brine springs on the shore of the lake.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.230.239.88 (talkcontribs) 3 August 2006

Second to Chernobyl??

[edit]

Taken out of article, this needs references to stay in.

It is interesting to note, that neither Honeywell Corp. or the previous owners of Allied Chemical Co. were fined by the federal gov't or any of its bureaus. The lake, second only to Chernobyl in terms of toxicity, is unusable by all but the most ignorant of locals. Claims of clean-up and pollution reduction are lies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poorpete (talkcontribs) 1 July 2006

More updates on cleanup

[edit]

I've been working on updating the Chemical pollution and Chemical pollution cleanup with more recent information. I updated the tenses in the Chemical pollution section to reflect the completion of the cleanup, as well as in the cleanup section. I also added more info on the cleanup, as the EPA has since released its first 5-year report. I've got a working draft in a sandbox, and here is a link to the diff describing all the changes. Can anyone weigh in and help me review it to ensure it's suitable for Wikipedia?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 21:19, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Zero Serenity (talk - contributions) 19:01, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Zero Serenity: Thanks for the feedback! I also discussed these edits with DASonnefeld, who supports them as well. Would you mind implementing these changes? I try to avoid making these edits myself given my COI.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 18:06, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the timely updates. Further comments, corrections, edits welcome. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 09:10, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Further updates needed (Museums)

[edit]

The section on Museums would benefit from updating and expansion. The Skä•noñh Center – Great Law of Peace Center now is in operation. And an updated section could also include information about the two Visitor Centers:

Article scope?

[edit]

I wonder what the ideal scope of this article might be. There's almost enough material here to spin off one or two separate articles, e.g.:
