Tallest building?
home to the tallest building between Sacramento and Portland, Oregon. - what building would that be? User:Zoe|(talk) 21:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that would be Whitney Hall Pberry 15:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Whitney Hall (nine stories) is the tallest building on the CSU, Chico campus--and is claimed to be the tallest building north of Sacramento. Butte Hall (seven stories) is the tallest publicly-accessible building on campus--but I don't know if there are other publicly-accessible buildings of equal/greater height north of Sacramento.  http://chicowiki.org/Whitney_Hall and http://chicowiki.org/Butte_Hall  Dmutters (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

With the exact height of Whitney Hall not public, the building might be shorting than the 8 story Shasta County Courthouse and six story currently under construction new Shasta County Courthouse. At best the building is the tallest up to Ashland, Oregon (home to the 9 story 118 foot tall Ashland Springs Hotel) and or Medford, Oregon (home to the 10 story Rogue Valley Manor). https://www.emporis.com/buildings/136675/ashland-springs-hotel-ashland-or-usa https://www.emporis.com/buildings/126585/rogue-valley-manor-medford-or-usa User:Thecondor

Falling rocks
What about the falling rocks of Chico in 1922? It was in an episode of One Step Beyond - it appears to have actually happened. Google "chico falling rocks."

The falling rocks incident was debunked when the people responsible for the hoax came forward. Gregbard 02:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Climate Chart
Why don't the average highs on the climate chart even remotely match the numbers on the attributed source? Or any other source for that matter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.121.177 (talk) 21:15, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * It matches this link, which is 1981-2010. What you're looking at includes up to 2015, which have been hotter summers than previously normal. 50.203.70.200 (talk) 22:35, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikify Hollywood Connections?
I'm glad to put time into this, but I guess I just want to know what exactly needs to be done. Is it just to add IMDB links to the titles and actors? Pberry 16:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see this! I personally know a few people from Chico working in the film business (in Hollywood)--who can probably provide at least a little more information on other folks.  Also, I'd like to add a section/subsection for appearances/references in film.  I have two references immediately at-hand (one of which I previously noted, below):
 * (1) In NCIS: Los Angeles season 1, episode 9 ("Accidentally on Purpose"), the serial killer called, "The Phantom" claims to have killed his first victim in Chico, CA; and
 * (2) In The Mentalist season 5, episode 8 ("Red Sails in the Sunset"), Patrick Jane and Lorelei Martins are discovered to be a a truckers' stop just north of Chico on Highway 99.
 * I realize that film mentions aren't "earth shattering," but I see no reason not to add such references when we see them on our favorite shows. :-)  Thoughts, anyone?  Dmutters (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Government
I'm thinking we might also mention that we are in CA-2 and represented by Wally Herger? Any objections?
 * I'd add it--but since Herger's about to retire, we'll have to update it soon. Dmutters (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Population figures
Can we get a reference for the population figures? I'm confused how the Chico metropolitan area has a population larger than the 2000 census population of Butte county. Does the Chico met area extend into the neighboring counties? --Chinasaur 22:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I just noticed this myself. The metro population of Chico listed is identical to the entire population of Butte county listed in that article. Dudekazoo (talk) 01:03, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

 * It seems as though the Chico MSA includes Oroville Paradise. However, those cities and Chico and unincorporated areas between still seem unable to add up to over 200,000. I have looked at some numbers online and I wonder if other sites are just starting to quote sites that have used this seemingly high Wikipedia population total of over 200,000. Even so a number of MSA's really amount to the county total, which seems to jive with the claim. Still not certain. Please shed light. Norcalal 10:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Butte county has a higher population that all it's neighbors combined. They're probably dependant on Chico. Glenn County almost is entirely reliant on Chico.

Chappman Town
I believe Chappman Town was incorporated into the city in 2006. --Dr. Cash 22:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, then you are on some sort of hallucinogens, as that's totally not true. Шєѕ 06:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

City of trees
Perhaps it should be noted that Chicoans often mistakenly believe that Chico is the City of Tress. I know I did most of my life here, and so do most others here.AerobicFox (talk) 05:09, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's true. Apparently there is even a sign to that effect. However, the "Tree City USA" designation is one shared by hundreds of cities, whereas the "City of Trees" is Boise, Idaho whose City Council has actually formally adopted the designation. Chico has been the City of Roses since Bidwell. The city council really should do something about this situation. I would propose that they correct the erroneous sign to read "City of Roses" and uphold the tradition. In fact they really should take it on as a matter community spirit. Greg Bard (talk) 06:29, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Or maybe actually plant some roses, or just rename Chico the City of Trees. Seriously there could be a column in the paper that reads "Chico City council changes Chico's nickname to City of Trees", and 88% of everybody who sees that would be like "wut? we're not alrdy the City of Trees?".AerobicFox (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sacramento is also called the City of Trees. Mason092 (talk) 19:17, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * "City of Trees" is sometimes emblazoned on city vehicles, typically under the city's (unofficial? official?) logo of a green tree silhouette. As of 2012, Chicoans still refer to the city thus--and it appears to be at least semi-official (however unoriginal).  This designation probably originates from the city's famed greenway called, "Esplanade" (A.K.A. "Old Highway 99" or "Business 99").  Dmutters (talk) 02:46, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Added NCIS: LA reference to Television section
The entry: "In NCIS: Los Angeles season 1, episode 9 ("Accidentally on Purpose"), the serial killer called, "The Phantom" claims to have killed his first victim in Chico, CA." Since this is my first attempt at making a change without asking first, please inform me if I've done something wrong. The information is verifiable by watching the episode in question, but I could not immediately find a written reference to cite (and I gather it's inappropriate to find an illegal/free streaming site that has this video). The reference occurs at about 37:00 in the episode. Dmutters (talk) 04:39, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Crap...didn't notice that this was a "what's available" section, not a "mentioned in" section. Removed.  Sorry. Dmutters (talk) 12:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Stupid Laws in Chico
The local law about owning/using nuclear devices in Chico has already been mentioned (if not fully so), but Chico, CA is an absolute WEALTH of stupid laws--some of which have made appearances across the 'net and in various novelty books. I'm wondering if we should start including them here, and consolidate the nuclear law with them? Examples:

Driving a herd of cattle down a street is against the law (see below): It shall be unlawful to drive, herd, or cause to be driven or herded upon any public street, alley, sidewalk or public place of the city any cattle, horses, mules, hogs, sheep or goats.

Bowling on the sidewalk is illegal (see below; also probably other references in law for this one): It shall be unlawful for any person in the city, to play baseball or any other game upon any street, sidewalk, lane or alley.

It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, store, or have in his possession, any green hide or any hide giving off an offensive odor.

It's illegal to plant a garden in the street--without a permit from the City Council (see below): It shall be unlawful for any person to plow any portion of an open public street, avenue or alley in the city, except for the purpose of grading the same under authority duly had and obtained from the city council, and no person shall cultivate, sow or plant therein, any vegetable or truck garden.

One must obtain a permit from the city to throw hay in a cesspool (see below): It shall be unlawful for any person in the city, to throw into or deposit upon any public street, highway or grounds or any private premises, any garbage or filth; also to empty or throw or deposit in any cesspool or manhole or flushing hole of any sewer within the city, any glass, broken wares, hay, straw, dirt, rubbish, garbage, waste matter, filth, butcher’s offal, or branches of trees; or to contract or obstruct the channel of any creek in the city, except by permit of the city council.

Watching a city council meeting around here is much like an episode of MST3K--but without the commentators. They're currently thinking of zoning a man-made creek as a wildlife preserve; they're also discussing making Chico a tourist town--10 years after they ran all the Halloween tourists off with attack dogs, submachine gun-wielding police, and LOTS of scary TV ads! Truly entertaining! :-D

Thoughts? Dmutters (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Chico Wiki
I just found this--which could prove a valuable source.

http://chicowiki.org/ Dmutters (talk) 08:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Another wiki is not a reliable source for Wikipedia. But it is nice to see some local attention to Chico area topics. The Chico Wiki could use some new contributors too. I invite your correspondence on these and any other matters. I lived in Chico for many years, and I am a long time contributor to both Wikipedia, and the Chico Wiki. Greg Bard (talk) 09:02, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the input. I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia's customs.  If I can find the energy, I'll look into contributing to the other wiki.  :-)  Dmutters (talk) 09:52, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Top Employers?
The top 10 employers list Aero Union, which went out of business in 2011. Also, the Welfare Department in Chico has 300 employees (which makes them the 7th largest employer) from what I've been told and it's not listed. 50.202.81.2 (talk) 18:40, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

50 year drought???
Why does the article not mention the massive 50 year drought ravaging Chico? And why was this discussion deleted? Who is trying to hide this?

Also, why is the airport closed? But crappy Redding's airport is going strong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.92.93.84 (talk) 18:35, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Chico is a City-State?

Little?
Doesn't "chico" mean "little boy" and not just "little"? I'm not a native Spanish speaker so there is likely some nuance here... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kleinmatic (talk • contribs) 20:53, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Just checked my own impression with a native speaker and no. "Chico" is just the masculine-inflected adjective meaning "small" or "little". "Little boy" would be "niño". The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 22:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Failed Verification: burning of Chico's Chinatown
"Chico was home to a significant Chinese American community when it was first incorporated, but arsonists burned Chico's Chinatown in February 1886, driving Chinese Americans out of town."

The reference given explores many towns that forced out minority populations in the 1800s, but Chico itself does not appear to be mentioned. A better source for this is needed. Test Subject 51 (talk) 19:09, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The reference URL seems to be dead, but the Wayback Machine sent me to https://justice.tougaloo.edu/sundowntown/chico-ca/, and the Comments section mentions an 1886 arson fire for its Chinatown. No idea how reliable it is, though. The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 01:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

I managed to obtain a copy of the 2018 edition of the book. Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. ISBN 978-1-62097-434-6 Chester is briefly mentioned on page 76, and how Eureka also drove out some minority populations. But this is the closest information I can find supporting what the article says. This book does not mention Chico at all, let alone how the Chinatown was burned. Information on the "Chico Chinatown" is very sparse and I'm having trouble finding any information as to how large, when, where, or whether the Chinatown existed in Chico at all. If anyone can find a better reference, or provide a page number in case I missed something, I would love to see it. But as it stands now, this book simply does not support the claim, and random user comments on another site aren't reliable sources. Unless someone can find real evidence and a reliable source that this took place, than it's little more than a legend and I think it should be removed. Test Subject 51 (talk) 20:53, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes! Here's a good ol' ancient newspaper article on it all! I contributed correction to the automatically generated transcription shown on the left, but I likely missed some stuff so there might be some weird typos by the text-recognition. The original scanned copy of the article is available.
 * One other source freely available on Google Books I know if is a biography by Sim Moaks, The last of the Mill Creeks, and early life in northern California. However, that doesn't go very in depth into the arson, I don't believe.
 * However, two books by Michele Shover would be better resources if you manage to get your hands on one or both: Chico Women: Nemesis of a Rural Town's Anti-Chinese Campaigns, 1876-1888 and Chico's Lemm Ranch Murders and The Anti-Chinese Campaign of 1877

Sacramento redirect?
What's with the note about the Sacramento redirect? Shouldn't that go to Sacramento, California? What's the Oroville connection?Skookum1 19:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Greater Oroville??? Sources???
Oroville urban population maybe? I don't know. Any thoughts? I know oroville has a lot around it outside the city limits and outside of Chico's urban population but I'd like to see a little more than "hear-say" info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.3.66 (talk • contribs) 11:18, June 1, 2007

I referenced the City of Oroville's webpage statistical information, but I don't see a year on that page to reference. The copyright at the bottom of the page says 2005, but I doubt that's where the information is from. Killiondude (talk) 05:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

A good part of Oroville's and Butte County's (as a whole) population was ethnicly cleansed over a little over a hundred years ago, should that be referenced somewhere on the page? I'm talking about the Chinese, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.155.141.9 (talk) 15:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Oroville, California
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Oroville, California's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "USCensusEst2018": From Butte County, California:  From West Covina, California:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:23, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Constitutional Republic

 * In November 2021, citing alleged federal and state overreach during the Covid-19 pandemic, Oroville's city council passed a resolution declaring the city as its own "Constitutional Republic" and refused to enforce federal orders that it said violated its citizens' rights.[14]

Does this mean it seceded from the union? Does this make it a micronation? It's been two months and there appears to be no attempt to retake it by force so I suspect that means it's an independent micro nation? Unless each state is a constitutional republic? I am a student in Australia so I am not sure what this means but the fact media is hasn't reported on this in two months makes me suspect it may be real. 124.190.192.20 (talk) 09:41, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The "secession" is entirely PR and not a serious matter in any way. There is no "attempt to retake it" because there is nothing to retake, Oroville is still part of California and the United States. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:05, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

November 8, 2018 fire
After some back and forth, I've added a small addition to the end of the lede at 10:45pm PST. Please remember this isn't a newspaper. We're not here to cover events in real time. I think what I just added expresses the gravity of the situation pretty well. Clearly, over the next several days, many more updates will need to be added, both to document the fire and to update information about physical things already mentioned in the article. But please be patient, change less and discuss more. This is a terrible tragic situation obviously, but as Wikipedians, it's our responsibility to go slow enough to assure we are reporting facts dispassionately, and are not spreading rumors or being sensationalist. We do that by gathering, comparing and weighing as many solid sources as we can and discounting poor sources. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this. We need a very experienced editor from the area, and to that end, I am pinging, an administrator from the Bay area. I'd ask that everyone hold off changes until morning here in the West (I'm in the Boise area). There's no need to hurry. John from Idegon (talk) 07:00, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I've already publicly thanked you for two of your edits. I appreciate all of your efforts.Juneau Mike (talk) 07:14, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I have the article on my watchlist now. Although I live over 130 miles from this fire, I can smell the smoke at my home. This is a catastrophe for this community. As long as editors summarize and cite high quality reliable sources, editing should proceed normally. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  07:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * There has been a fair amount of vandalism on this page recently, prior to today, and a fair bit of overexcited unneeded changes occuring as we speak. I'm not seeing much change in sourcing online, so I think it's a fair expectation that the article should stay stable til morning. I pinged you to help moderate, and I have got to go to bed. Betting you do too. Would you consider 8-12 hours of semi? Thanks,Jim. John from Idegon (talk) 07:58, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Multiple news sources are now reporting Paradise has been confirmed to have been totally destroyed by the fire, so I think we can begin doing long term edits. JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 16:50, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * What sources say that, ? Cause CBS quoted a fire official as saying something quite different from completely destroyed" this morning. "Completely destroyed" would mean no structures left standing, and even without a different view from a fire official, I'd find that hard to believe. Brick structures generally do not burn, steel structures require a fairly long exposure to high heat to collapse. Please don't be sensationalist. John from Idegon (talk) 18:37, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok... Looking back, I jumped the gun a little on saying that after seeing one or two articles this morning. But in the past hour multiple news outlets including NBC, CNN, and the Washington post have said Paradise has been decimated, and talking with others it seems a good estimation of the percent of the town destroyed would be 95%+. JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 22:48, 9 November 2018
 * Not every building in the town was destroyed. Not every burned structure has been checked for victims. Editors, especially IP editors, have been adding wholly unsourced material. I agree with John from Idegon that this article needs less updates and changing figures. If someone wants hour-by-hour reports, they can get them from updated news coverage, and they don't need to be inserted in the article. Activist (talk) 08:00, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Is / Was ?
When the town turns into something else, ie. a parking lot, meadow, a theme park or a wildlife preserve, it is still (as far a Wikipedia is concerned) Paradise, California. - FlightTime Phone  ( open channel ) 22:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree. A destroyed town is still a town. Its ruins and geography exist, so I do not see justification in past-tensing everything about it. 2600:8800:1880:188:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 23:40, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I also agree, although for the time being we could add in something saying something like that most if not all of the town's structures had been destroyed, and the town needs to be rebuilt.JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 02:39, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * I would have no problem with that as long as it's well sourced, ie. Calfire or LATimes. -  FlightTime Phone  ( open channel ) 02:45, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * It is not up to Wikipedia editors to state that the town "needs" to be rebuilt. That is up to local and state authorities, insurance companies and those who lost homes and businesses. And unless California revokes its incorporation, it will still be a town. Perhaps a town of 1000 residents instead of 27,000 residents, but still a town. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  03:01, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * I totally agree with both you two's points. JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 04:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

It is still legally a Town until the State of California government says it isn't, period. Knock off the sillyness! Use "is" and revert anything otherwise. • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 04:16, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Is there a precendt or MOS for this sort of thing? Looks like there are editors acting in good faith, thinking that the town no longer exists, and using the past tense.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 15:11, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

 * For all USA community articles in English wikipedia, we use the legal description from each state. An incorporated town, such as Paradise, will continue to be a town until it is legally unincorporated by the state.  Just because buildings are destroyed doesn't mean that no one will rebuild, nor does it mean that land ownership under the former building are taken away from the owners.  Good faith doesn't trump ignorance of state law.  •  Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 03:31, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Washington Post now saying the town is "pretty much destroyed"
WaPo article

The article as it is needs to be revamped with more information about the scale and amount of the destruction that has just occurred. As of now, this is easily the most significant event in the town's history. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 14:12, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Not sure what you're asking for, it's been known the town was destroyed from day one. You're free to add what ever sourced content you think is missing. - FlightTime Phone  ( open channel ) 14:44, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I believe there should be more descriptive prose about the scale of the destruction, as well as more emphasis. For one, the fire should be mentioned above the infobox. Other towns destroyed/severely affected by fire like Marysville in Australia and Fort McMurray in Canada get the same treatment. The Marysville article also gets into detail about what buildings were destroyed. We should try to quantify the extent of the destruction for our readers is what I'm trying to get at. Simply saying the town "was destroyed" only really tells us that the majority of the town suffered >50% damage, as is the definition of destruction in CA. I would say many of the buildings in town suffered much greater than 50% damage, and we should add info to reflect that. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 19:51, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Respectfully,, they haven't even located all the dead yet. No one sat down and wrote the definitive history of the Civil War in April, 1865. Sources are mainly focused on the salvage and recovery operations at this time. There is no need to hurry up and add info that may have to be rewritten later. We serve the long view. Outside of updating numbers as the sources publish (and agree on), there's not going to be much to do here until info definitive info on what's gone (which IMO shouldn't be our focus) and what has survived starts being widely reported.

--Mortense (talk) 18:28, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

And now it's 71 with 1,011 people unaccounted for, but the article give two different outdated death tolls and an outdated number for the missing. If you're going to semi-protect a current event you should stay on top of it. I've been helping update Wikipedia nearly since it was started without ever registering and I don't intend to register now just to update this article.

 * I overhauled the intro. The article about the fire is "Camp Fire (2018)", thus the total fire death & destruction counts shouldn't be duplicated in both articles.  Since most news reports are currently stating the total number of deaths for the entire fire, we can't use those death counts for the town of Paradise, because people have died in Concow, California and other rural locations too.  Editors need to use official sources that clearly breaks down the death count by community.  •  Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 10:12, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Thank you for actually doing something about the inaccuracies in the article instead of telling me to "calm down." Your solution makes perfect sense. The earlier comments from others are a perfect illustration of why I've never bothered to create an account for my edits.

 * Hello MelanieN, The reason I put a statement in the talk page of the article is because I thought that a little sarcasm was allowed on a talk page, which would not be in the article itself. And, because of my rights to speak my mind - 1st Amendment to the US Constitution? -, I do maintain the use of sarcasm here.
 * This being said, I would like to thank you for directing me to the Camp Fire (2018) article, which covers what I was really saying.

 * Dear John from Idegon, US Constitution or not, I do not believe that expressing - in a sarcastic manner - my opinion on the saying of the present potus, who, beside his show of total ignorance on any subject, does not seem to feel any empathy toward anyone or any tragic situation - no matter how many persons die in horrific manners - shows a lack of knowledge of civics on my part.
 * Your reproach to me could - maybe - be put on the leader of a country who, when going to a place tragedy has just destroyed, cannot even say the name of the place, or whose only way to show compassion is to happily throw paper towels in the air - so that the inhabitants of a flooded island can wipe it dry.
 * In addition, please rest assured that I will not intervene/interfere in the discussion page of this article - although, I will repeat that the mis-naming of Paradise to Pleasure by the man who should care the most about the country, should not be skipped in the article.

why is this town so hispanic? what attracts them here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.15.235.30 (talk) 21:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

Your question requires close analysis and study of the local economy to brought many Hispanics into the city of Williams and Colusa County has a large Hispanic minority. Agricultural labor is heavily present in the Sacramento valley and Williams is a choice of residence for migrant laborers (most of them are Hispanic), and service jobs as the article mentioned to have many fast food restaurants and motels along Interstate 5 to employed many locals, the majority of those employees are immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Some towns along former US route 99 have became mostly Latino in the last 20-30 years but the area's railroads once employed Mexican rail workers known as 'traqueros' in the turn of the century (1880-1920), those railroad towns are populated by generations of Mexican-Americans at the first place.

Question re 1851 to 1857
The history section has a few dates that overlap in a curious way. If the years are correct, perhaps the section should have a note explaining it. The section says the brothers Inocencio and Jose Romero lost their ranch in American courts in 1857. Meanwhile, the Jones couple settled there in 1851 and John Jones became postmaster in 1852. So, did the U.S. Post Office really find enough people to serve in Alamo to establish an office there while there was still some question about who owned the land? What were Inocencio and Jose doing as new settlers sunk their fence posts? --TedC (talk) 18:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

"uncited and excessive details"
I disagree with the removal of the two items I added in the history section.
 * In the section on modern times about the controversy over Richard Foster, I had added, "He had mused to students at Monte Vista High School on the possibility of someday busing students from Richmond." It indicates the sensitivity of the issues raised, and it is germaine to the section.
 * In the same section, about the defeat of the 1964 attempt at incorporation, I had added "taxes" as one of the main concerns. How is ""loss of identity for Alamo" not excessive and "taxes" excessive?

Both were reported extensively in local newspapers, which can be found though not immediately. The facts are not harmful. Why didn't you simply ask for sources?

This article has many uncited details that could be considered excessive, yet you didn't delete those.

Please explain. TedC (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Fashoda Incident

The Fashoda Incident, also known as the Fashoda Crisis (French: Crise de Fachoda), was the climax of imperialist territorial disputes between Britain and France in East Africa, occurring between 10 July to 3 November 1898. A French expedition to Fashoda on the White Nile sought to gain control of the Upper Nile river basin and thereby exclude Britain from Sudan. The French party and a British-Egyptian force (outnumbering the French by 10 to 1) met on friendly terms. However, in Europe, it became a war scare. The British held firm as both empires stood on the verge of war with heated rhetoric on both sides. Under heavy pressure, the French withdrew, ensuring Anglo-Egyptian control over the area.

Background

During the late-19th century, Africa was rapidly being claimed and colonised by European colonial powers. After the 1885 Berlin Conference regarding West Africa, Europe's great powers went after any remaining lands in Africa that were not already under another European nation's influence. This period in African history is usually termed the Scramble for Africa by modern historiography. The principal powers involved in this scramble were Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.

The French thrust into the African interior was mainly from the continent's Atlantic coast (modern-day Senegal) eastward, through the Sahel along the southern border of the Sahara, a territory covering modern-day Senegal, Mali, Niger, and Chad. Their ultimate goal was to have an uninterrupted link between the Niger River and the Nile, hence controlling all trade to and from the Sahel region, by virtue of their existing control over the caravan routes through the Sahara. France also had an outpost near the mouth of the Red Sea in French Somaliland (now Djibouti), which could serve as an eastern anchor to an east–west belt of French territory across the continent.

The British, on the other hand, wanted to link their possessions in Southern Africa (South Africa, Bechuanaland and Rhodesia), with their territories in East Africa (modern-day Kenya), and these two areas with the Nile basin. Sudan, which then included modern-day South Sudan and Uganda, was the key to the fulfilment of these ambitions, especially since Egypt was already under British control. This 'red line' (i.e. a proposed railway or road, see Cape to Cairo Railway) through Africa was made famous by the British diamond magnate and politician Cecil Rhodes, who wanted Africa "painted Red" (meaning under British control, since territories which were part of Britain were often coloured red on maps).

If one draws a line from Cape Town to Cairo (Rhodes's dream) and another line from Dakar to French Somaliland (now Djibouti) by the Red Sea in the Horn (the French ambition), these two lines intersect in eastern South Sudan near the town of Fashoda (present-day Kodok), explaining its strategic importance. The French east–west axis and the British north–south axis could not co-exist; the nation that could occupy and hold the crossing of the two axes would be the only one able to proceed with its plan.

Fashoda had been founded by the Egyptian army in 1855 as a base from which to combat the East African slave trade. It was located on high ground along 100 mi of marshy shoreline at one of the few places where a boat could unload. The surrounding area, although swampy, was populated by Shilluk people, and by the mid-1870s, Fashoda was a bustling market and administrative town. The first Europeans to arrive in the region were explorers Georg Schweinfurth in 1869 and Wilhelm Junker in 1876. Junker described the town as "a considerable trading place ... the last outpost of civilization, where travelers plunging into or returning from the wilds of equatorial Africa could procure a few indispensable European wares from the local Greek traders." By the time Jean-Baptiste Marchand arrived, however, the deserted fort was in ruins.

Fashoda was also bound up in the Egyptian Question, a long-running dispute between the United Kingdom and France over the British occupation of Egypt. Since 1882 many French politicians, particularly those of the parti colonial, had come to regret France's decision not to join with Britain in occupying the country. They hoped to force Britain to leave, and thought that a colonial outpost on the Upper Nile could serve as a base for French gunboats. These in turn were expected to make the British abandon Egypt. Another proposed scheme involved a massive dam, cutting off the Nile's water supply and forcing the British out. These ideas were highly impractical, but they succeeded in alarming many British officials.

Other European nations were also interested in controlling the upper Nile valley. The Italians got a head start from their Eritrean outpost at Massawa on the Red Sea, but their defeat by the Ethiopians at Adowa in March 1896 ended their attempt. In September 1896, King Leopold II, the Sovereign of the Congo Free State, dispatched a column of 5,000 Congolese troops, with artillery, towards the White Nile from Stanleyville on the Upper Congo River. They took five months to reach Lake Albert on the White Nile, about 500 mi from Fashoda, but by then, their soldiers were so angry at their treatment that they mutinied on 18 March 1897. Many of the Belgian officers were killed and the rest were forced to flee.

Marchand expedition
France made its move by sending Captain Jean-Baptiste Marchand, a veteran of the conquest of French Sudan, back to West Africa. He embarked a force composed mostly of West African colonial troops from Senegal on a ship for central Africa. On 20 June 1896, he reached Libreville in the colony of Gabon with a force of only 120 tirailleurs plus 12 French officers, non-commissioned officers and support staff—Captain Marcel Joseph Germain, Captain Albert Baratier, Captain Charles Mangin, Captain Victor Emmanuel Largeau, Lieutenant Félix Fouqué, a teacher named Dyé, doctor Jules Emily Major, Warrant Officer De Prat, Sergeant George Dat, Sergeant Bernard, Sergeant Venail and the military interpreter Landerouin.

Marchand's force set out from Brazzaville in a borrowed Belgian steamer with orders to secure the area around Fashoda and make it a French protectorate. They steamed up the Ubangi River to its head of navigation and then marched overland (carrying 100 tons of supplies, including a collapsible steel steamboat with a one-ton boiler ) through jungle and scrub to the deserts of Sudan. They travelled across Sudan to the Nile. They were to be met there by two expeditions coming from the east across Ethiopia, one of which, from Djibouti, was led by Christian de Bonchamps, veteran of the Stairs Expedition to Katanga.

Following a difficult 14-month trek across the heart of Africa, the Marchand Expedition arrived on 10 July 1898, but the de Bonchamps Expedition failed to make it after being ordered by the Ethiopians to halt, and then suffering accidents in the Baro Gorge. Marchand's small force found itself alone, hundreds of miles from any support. The British, meanwhile, were engaged in the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of Sudan, moving upriver from Egypt. On 18 September a flotilla of five British gunboats arrived at the isolated Fashoda fort. They carried 1,500 British, Egyptian and Sudanese soldiers, led by Sir Herbert Kitchener and including Lieutenant-Colonel Horace Smith-Dorrien. Marchand had received incorrect reports that the approaching force consisted of Dervishes; he found himself facing a diplomatic rather than a military crisis.

Both sides insisted on their right to Fashoda but agreed to wait for further instructions from home. The two commanders behaved with restraint and even a certain humour. Kitchener toasted Marchand with whisky, the drinking of which the French officer described as "one of the greatest sacrifices I ever made for my country". Kitchener inspected a French garden commenting "Flowers at Fashoda. Oh these Frenchmen!" More seriously the British distributed French newspapers detailing the political chaos caused by the Dreyfus affair, warning that France was in no condition to provide serious support for Marchand and his party. News of the meeting was relayed to Paris and London, where it inflamed the pride of both nations. Widespread popular outrage followed, each side accusing the other of naked expansionism and aggression. The crisis continued throughout September and October 1898. The Royal Navy drafted war orders and mobilized its reserves.

French withdrawal

As the commander of the Anglo-Egyptian army that had just defeated the forces of the Mahdi at the Battle of Omdurman, Kitchener was in the process of reconquering the Sudan in the name of the Egyptian Khedive, and after the battle he opened sealed orders to investigate the French expedition. Kitchener landed at Fashoda wearing an Egyptian Army uniform and insisted in raising the Egyptian flag at some distance from the French flag.

In naval terms, the situation was heavily in Britain's favour, a fact that French deputies acknowledged in the aftermath of the crisis. Several historians have given credit to Marchand for remaining calm. The military facts were undoubtedly important to Théophile Delcassé, the newly appointed French foreign minister. "They have soldiers. We only have arguments," he said resignedly. In addition, he saw no advantage in a war with the British, especially since he was keen to gain their friendship in case of any future conflict with Germany. He therefore pressed hard for a peaceful resolution of the crisis although it encouraged a tide of nationalism and anglophobia. In an editorial published in L'Intransigeant on 13 October Victor Henri Rochefort wrote, "Germany keeps slapping us in the face. Let's not offer our cheek to England." As Professor P. H. Bell writes,

"Between the two governments there was a brief battle of wills, with the British insisting on immediate and unconditional French withdrawal from Fashoda. The French had to accept these terms, amounting to a public humiliation."

The French government quietly ordered its soldiers to withdraw on 3 November and the crisis ended peacefully. Marchand chose to withdraw his small force by way of Abyssinia and Djibouti, rather than cross Egyptian territory by taking the relatively quick journey by steamer down the Nile.

Aftermath
Fashoda was a major diplomatic defeat and a national humiliation for France. According to French nationalists, the capitulation was clear evidence that the army had been severely weakened by the traitors who supported Dreyfus. It also inspired intense anti-British sentiment, and some voiced that England might be preparing to attack France. The reopening of the Dreyfus affair in January the following year had done much to distract French public opinion from events in Sudan and people increasingly questioned the wisdom of a war over such a remote part of Africa. Nevertheless it put paid to French ambitions of an equatorial empire stretching from the West coast to the East. Britain meanwhile relished in the success, and although wary of French retaliation her coercive policy had resolved the crisis.

The French also realized that in the long run they needed the friendship of Britain in case of a war between France and Germany.

In March 1899, the Anglo-French Convention of 1898 was signed and it was agreed that the source of the Nile and the Congo rivers should mark the frontier between their spheres of influence.

The Fashoda Incident was the last serious colonial dispute between Britain and France, and its classic diplomatic solution is considered by most historians to be the precursor of the Entente Cordiale of 1904. The same year, Fashoda was officially renamed Kodok. It is located in modern-day South Sudan.

Legacy
A French colonial officer George de Villebois-Mareuil saw the Anglo-Boer War as a chance to avenge the French humiliation at Fashoda - he was however killed at the Battle of Boshof.

The two main individuals involved in the incident are commemorated in the Pont Kitchener-Marchand, a 116 m road bridge over the Saône, completed in 1959 in the French city of Lyon.

The incident gave rise to the 'Fashoda syndrome' in French foreign policy, or seeking to assert French influence in areas which might be becoming susceptible to British influence. As such it was used as a comparison to other later crises or conflicts such as the Levant Crisis of 1945, the Nigerian Civil War in Biafra in the 1970s and the Rwandan Civil War in 1994.

History
"The only all-digital Rave Motion Pictures in the San Francisco Bay Area is located in the Streets of Brentwood." This sentence is awkward, at least to people who are unfamiliar with what it is referring to. It's unclear what 'Rave Motion Pictures' is- a theater perhaps? It's also unclear what 'Streets of Brentwood' alludes to. The caps indicate it may be a title or name. Is it a shopping center? Is it a badly written way of saying this thing, whatever it is, only exists in the city of Brentwood? And finally, there's no citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.179.45.241 (talk) 13:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposal for removed paragraph
The following paragraph which was posted in the History section of Brentwood has little to do with the city. It may be more appropriate as part of the Orwood California article. I propose that it be relocated there, if other editors concur that it should be saved in Wikipedia (It still needs further editing.)Bruin2 (talk) 17:12, 12 August 2019 (UTC):

A propos Byron Hot Springs and Camp Tracy in "Codes and Conspiracies" episode
To the editors, could coverage of Byron Hot Springs and Camp Tracy in "Codes and Conspiracies" television series be of assistance? Within "Secret Prisons Series/Special. 2016, A look at secret jails in the U.S." Re-aired on AHC channel in May 2020. Mentions Clark Gable and other celebrities frequenting hotel and spa. "Intelligence gathered at Camp Tracy was effective", involved Japanese-Americans serving as interpreters and interrogators. Involved interrogation of Japanese captives. Includes assertions of what intelligence was gained. Detainees transferred away in 1945, and ultimately were released back to Japan as part of a general repatrification process (could it be possible to link to coverage of the repatrification, including to identify ships and ships' voyages returning detainees to Japan?). Camp Tracy was then deactivated. Ruins still stand...camera pans across abandoned buildings covered with graffiti inside and out. 198.179.62.65 (talk) 16:36, 16 May 2020 (UTC)  gives production credits etc etc about this episode. 198.179.62.65 (talk) 16:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

When adding citations for P.O. Box 1142, I noticed that the "See also" section in that wiki article links to this one, but this one no longer has a section for P.O. Box 651. Camp Tracy only is given a brief mention in the "Former resort" section.

Two of the Commanders at P.O. Box 1142 were also at P.O. Box 651. One solid source for info about both, if someone wanted to write a new section, is this:
