==As of September 18, 2008==

Altamont is a big jumble of information, but its all noncompliant with the Wikipedian Manual of Style and is missing inline citations for all of its information. Because of this, it complies well with the Start-class rating criteria.

What this article needs:

A copyedit. This is loaded with "peacock words" and other violations of a neutral point of view stance, but its partly due to the more poetic elements of the author of this article. While it's a pleasure to read, this is an encyclopedia, so it has to sound like one.

Citations, citations, citations. Nothing, absolutely nada is cited inline here. If one would like to peck through all the external links listed, then the problems with this article's referencing can be resolved. See {{Cite web}} and fill out what is located there, and use <ref> and </ref> to surround the reference, making it appear as a reference.

Additions to existing sections are welcome. Remember, CITE EVERYTHING that is likely to be challenged. If you think someone might question it, CITE IT.

I rated this a Low-importance article because of its size and relative anonymity on an international scale.
