NPOV[edit]

This article has issues with NPOV as it relates to fringe theories and pseudoscience. The table that previously labeled the Bear Lake monster a 'creature' and reported a 'last sighting' date was a major problem in this respect. It needs to be very clear that this is a subject of mythology and folklore. Speculations from the pseudoscience of cryptozoology need to be clearly labeled as such.

Also, the previous wording grossly misrepresented the referenced links. This has been corrected. Locke9k (talk) 04:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've since pulled the cryptozoology stuff. :bloodofox: (talk) 02:25, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incomprehensible sentence[edit]

"The Bear Lake Monster is a being appearing in a lakefolklore near Bear Lake". This is the very first sentence of the article. Aside from the missing space typo, it doesn't really make sense in English. Kumagoro-42 (talk) 00:28, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
