Village of La Atalaya

I translated most of this article from an almost completely unsourced article in es-wiki. I've been able to find reliable sources for most of what was there, and have also expanded the article a bit based on those sources.

For the village of La Atalaya, I haven't found much online that rises to the level of a reliable source for anything besides its founding and its demise. I suspect that the es-wiki article used http://riotinto.mforos.com/555733/4038275-maqueta-de-la-aldea-la-atalaya/ without acknowledging it as a source. While that page looks entirely plausible, and I have no reason to doubt any of the information there, it is just a forum, and usually would not be considered sufficient under WP:RS. Therefore, I have not cited that page, and consider the relevant material as still needing citation. - Jmabel | Talk 03:27, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Missing info

From reading the article for me it does not get clear what was mined there.--Stone (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this article needs to mention what minerals are mined here, and this needs to be summarized in the top section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.33.44 (talk) 01:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What was mined?Tttom1 (talk) 01:34, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Largest open pit in Europe?

The lignite mines in Germany e.g. Garzweiler are many times larger... --Rocknrollsuicide (talk) 02:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
