This page needs to be cleaned up, especially the last bit about Party Cove.  The tone is inappropriate for a factual presentation.MUSpud2 04:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The industry is much, much more than fishing. While there are tons of people who come to fish the innumerable coves and other hidden spots, most people come for recreational boating, skiing, personal watercraft, the numerous bars, resorts, and entertainment destinations around the lake.

thread_title:  More than fishing 

message: Google currently has 599,000 hits for "Lake of the Ozarks", and as of this writing exactly 157 of them also match "Midwest Coast" – less than 0.03%.  Practically every one of those (excepting the Wikipedia mirrors) are realtors, rental agencies, travel agents, etc.  It smells of an advertising slogan.  I've changed the text from "is also called the Midwest Coast" to "is promoted as the Midwest Coast".  At the risk of introducing some original research, I'll say that I've lived in Missouri my whole life and have been to the lake many times since I was five years old, and I have never heard any person refer to it in that way. --Kbh3rdtalk 05:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  So-called "Midwest Coast" 

message: I'm from Missouri, and I searched Wikipedia for an article on Party Cove because I wanted to know it's history and formation - who started the party, when, etc. Imagine my surprise that there isn't a wikipedia entry on Party Cove, nor even a mention of it on the page for the Lake of the Ozarks! Party Cove is internationally famous as a party destination on the water. People travel from the world over to party it up at Party Cove. What gives? Who's the party pooper? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.211.38 (talk) 
: Feel free to add what you think missing form the article.  Keep in mind that any such addition must be based on proper research of citeable sources, not on individuals' experiences, hearsay, or rumor. --Kbh3rdtalk 15:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I will try to post something today.  There's a treasure trove of Google links including a New York Times article and a big Kansas City Star July article.  As is my curse in drilling down, I will probably also post articles on Grandglaize Creek (the official one-word name for the tributary) and Grand Glaize Bridge.  I haven't been there for a long time.  Is the sign on the bridge one word "Grandglaize" or two words? (if memory serves it's complicated because it's in caps).  On the USGS maps the Grandglaize is one word.  Curse this drill down! ;-) Americasroof 15:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks guys! I noticed today there's a Party Cove entry now. I would love to add something, but I don't have any source other than experience. What most interests me is it's history. I added a few Q's on the Party Cove talk page. Thanks again! 64.136.211.38 00:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I read a book and some conspiracy theory guy claims he saw two aliens in the Lake of the Ozarks.  I don't remember the name of the book, could someone find a source for this so I can add it?--24.171.1.195 (talk) 00:58, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're in the best position to find that source, as it is unlikely another wikipeidan has read that book. Be Bold. Grey Wanderer (talk) 01:31, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
