HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON THE ORIGINS/CONSTRUCTION OF THIS RIVER?!?!?!??? If nothing else, there should be an origination year about this particular man-made construction. Who came up with the idea? Who built it? And most importantly, WHAT YEAR WAS IT CONSTRUCTED????? Jeez... — Preceding

The article states that "millions of residents" would need to relocate if the river were restored. Where does that number come from; it sounds awfully big (and vague). Is that everyone in the floodplain? Gwimpey 04:36, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
I am responding to the remarks about relocating millions of people, but I did not see an edit button for that talk. I'm new to this article and Wiki. The aritcle is very thorough and deseves kudos, but like so much other writing about the River it is mostly about the inconveniences it poses to civilization. As a result, it doesn't create an image of what kind of river this was in its natural state. There are also some minor inaccuracies. I would like to propose some changes.

I put in another section for films that have been filmed at some point in the LA river, but the only ones I know for sure are Them and T2. I believe Grease and an episode of Knight Rider were also shot there, but couldn't find any proof. I did some googling but couldn't find any more, even though I'd bet that a complete list would be greater than 100 films/episodes. If anyone runs into a list of anything that has been filmed there, it would be a nice addition. -- 66.215.44.176 05:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
No mention of The Cats? If you don't know, you don't know. I'll cover it later. Alexander 007 10:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I grew up in the area and believe the headwaters to be in the Santa Susana Mtns, in the northwestern part of the valley. I edited the article to reflect this, but can I have a definite source, please?
Is it just me or does that section sound a bit like advertising? A prime example is the first sentance: One of the most exciting initiatives shepherded over the last three years by the Ad Hoc River Committee is the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan.' Perhaps someone should edit this to sound more like an encyclopedia and less like an ad for the various agencies involved in the "revitalization". In fact the whole section sounds a little off (who determined that the river was in need of "revitalization"?). I am not sure what should be done (hence I didn't edit it) but at minimum I would suggest the removal of terms like "exciting initiatives" and "powerful mandate".

Are the left and right tributaries switched in the Infobox or is there something about rivers and direction that I don’t understand? jengod ( talk) 13:31, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
The info box says 47.9 miles, the lead says nearly 51 miles. Perhaps one or the other could be chosen as the length. I see the numbers are close, but not the same. The source for info box is a USGS National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data, accessed in 2011 and the original data are not visible from the links in the citation. The source of the length in the lead is not given. It is possible that this sentence is the source: “LOS ANGELES RIVER Description of Invert and Cross Section Data The Los Angeles River is approximately 52 miles long, with headwaters near Bell Canyon and discharging into the Pacific Ocean. ” from this California Waterboards [here https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/losangeles/board_decisions/basin_plan_amendments/technical_documents/2005-006/04_0712/Dry%20Weather/LA%20River%20Metals-Appendix%20A.pdf], dated July 2004. Anyway, it seems best to choose one source, and to explain different results from different sources for length of the river with concrete banks. - - Prairieplant ( talk) 14:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
