Median income for Males vs. Females?
"Males had a median income of $0 versus $65,432 for females. " I removed this, since it didn't sound right (median income of $0?). If anyone has the correct data available, please add it back. --Ori.livneh 23:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Orinda Changes
I really didn't feel that the page of Orinda should be a disambiguation page, so I made a seperate disambiguation page, had Orinda point to Orinda, California, and added a disambiguaiton article tag at the top of Orinda, California. However, I messed up a bit in the process, and I apolgize for that. Manfrin 05:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The article says that Orinda is known as one of the most desirable addresses due to the high prices of the real estate. I wonder whteher high real-estate prices are really an effect of the city being desirability, rather than a cause of desirability. In any event, the sentence reads nicely, so I haven't messed with it! I think it's a nice little article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.28.203.179 (talk) 14:07, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Martian crater
There is a crater on Mars named "Orinda" named after this town... no I am not kidding. 68.8.108.62 10:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Orinda name
Orinda was named after one of the rancher's daughters. I do not know their full names but I deleted the incorrect reason for the name Orinda. The information is available in the book of Orinda's history available in the Orinda Library but I am out of the city now and thus cannot go myself.
 * Maybe, maybe not, but you left the sentence a mess. Reverting until naming determined and properly fixed. --Fizbin 16:08, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to add that Chris Bauer went to Miramonte High School in Orinda. Noticed that while looking up actors from The Wire... an awesome show. His IMDB page confirms this fact (in his trivia). Easymac08 (talk) 07:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Education
I'm unclear as to why Gateway Necessary Small High School, Riverview Middle School, and Rio Vista, Bel Air, and Shore Acres Elementary Schools are included on the list of schools in Pittsburg, since they are all outside Pittsburg city limits. I changed it once, and am doing so again now. Perhaps some mention of the fact that Delta View is in the Mount Diablo Unified School District and not Pittsburg Unified could also be made.--Eric (talk) 15:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Photo not of Pittsburg
The photo in the information box is not taken in Pittsburg.

The photo is a of a BART station, but this is not the Pittsburg-Bay Point Station. The station pictured has "Outside" platforms (The train doors open on the right side of the train, and there are separate platforms for each direction). The Pittsburg-Bay Point station has a "Central" platform (The train doors open to the left, and the central platform is shared).

I'm not precisely sure which station is pictured (possibly Walnut Creek or Pleasant Hill), but it is definitely NOT Pittsburg.

Census Data (removed from article)
I removed the following data as it seemed quite typical of North American census data. There does not seem to be anything remarkable about it to me. Someone else, however, may find the level of detail of some of this data significant. If they restore it, I hope that they would explain why.

 * The racial makeup of the CDP was 52.20% White, 16.04% Black or African American, 1.30% Native American, 16.04% Asian, 0.50% Pacific Islander, 7.17% from other races, and 6.76% from two or more races. 17.08% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. There were 2,882 households out of which 38.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 52.9% were married couples living together, 17.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.5% were non-families. 18.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 6.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.  The average household size was 3.00 and the average family size was 3.42. In the CDP the population was spread out with 29.3% under the age of 18, 8.8% from 18 to 24, 27.7% from 25 to 44, 23.9% from 45 to 64, and 10.2% who were 65 years of age or older.  The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 94.1 males.  For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.0 males. The median income for a household in the CDP was $60,522, and the median income for a family was $63,151. Males had a median income of $46,077 versus $32,452 for females.

San Ramon is NOT "just south over the Alameda county line."
Hey Im from San Ramon.I was acctually born in San Mateo, but move to San Raon when I was 6, in 1980. I noticed right off the bat you mention that S.R. is in Contra Costa County, but it is described as being just south over the Alameda county line. THIS STATEMENT IS INCORRECT. San Ramon is the southern most city in Contra Costa County...therefore, it sits just North of Alameda County. Dublin, Ca, sits "just south" over the Alameda County boarder. Come to think of it, San Ramon doesn't sit ANYWHERE just over any boarder, unless it's a Contra Costa County boarder, but it is on the Alameda boarder. Alameda sits south of Co. Co.

Talk:Waldon, California

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Waldon doesn't exist?
This is one of those fascinating bit of political geography. Waldon doesn't exist by any standard I can find. The USPS doesn't even recognize it as a valid city. Goto the zip code lookup, and punch "waldon, ca". It will return "93283" which isn't for Waldon, but Weldon, CA down by Bakersfield. If you use the USPS zip code lookup for 1365 Treat Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA (Its the address for Pleasant Hill (BART station) - it will come back with 94597 (Walnut Creek). If you try waldon instead of WC - it will kick back as invalid.  Another fun fact as its not a city, it doesn't seem to have a website.  It should be: http://www.ci.waldon.ca.us/  (but its not).

The reason why this fascinates me so much is because I currently live in the area classified as "Waldon". All of my main is address to Walnut Creek, with a WC zip code. Now, don't get me wrong. I've seen the signs in the area notifying that it is an Unincorporated section of Contra Costa County. I'm going to go enquirer with the local governments to see what I can find out - because this is just damnedably odd. --ShakataGaNai (talk) 04:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I used to live there. Waldon does have a (quarterly?) newsletter that gets sent out, and until I got one, I had no idea Waldon existed. It isn't too big, and is just a neighborhood-type thing delineated by a few streets. I'm willing to go with that. When my car got broken into, I called the Walnut Creek police and was informed that since it was an unincorporated area, I ought to call the county sheriff. Good to know! --76.20.4.184 (talk) 07:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Waldon, California → Waldon, Walnut Creek, California – Waldon is not a City or Town. Common usage of "Waldon, CA" implies it is one or the other. I propose a name change to Waldon, Walnut Creek, California (talk) 05:14, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I think this relatively newly registered user has a misconception about what Wikipedia does and does not store. Wikipedia does not normally store the actual borders of U.S. states, counties, cities or Census Designated Places. Many mapping services like Google Maps instead may import them directly from the U.S. Census Bureau itself (like their Cartographic Boundary Files Even the map image File:Contra Costa County California Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Waldon Highlighted.svg was created using the U.S. Census Bureau data. Furthermore, there are many communities and Census Designated Places like this one in which the United States Postal Service does not list them as a valid city name for one reason or another. On the other hand, Wikipedia does have an article for every Census Designated Place past and present, like this one, and are titled in the form Placename, State . Even if this Wikipedia article is deleted, renamed or changed, it will not stop these mapping services from importing the U.S. Census Bureau's boundary files directly "to remove portions of Walnut Creek from their maps" -- because they are recognized by at least one government body: the U.S. Census Bureau. Zzyzx11 (talk) 08:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Nominator has since retracted the mapping and USPS reasons However, it still stands that this is still in an unincorporated area, and not inside the city borders of Walnut Creek (see the city's zoning map), and like all the other the articles in Category:Unincorporated communities in the United States by state, there is a Wikipedia article for populated unincorporated areas and communities, and are generally titled with the consistent format Placename, State per WP:USPLACE.Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:05, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. As Zzyzx11 states, boundary maps do not originate from Wikipedia. The proposed new title does not follow Wikipedia naming conventions. Finally, we title unincorporated communities and CDP's as Place_name, State. This place used to be a CDP. • Gene93k (talk) 11:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Rename to Waldon, Walnut Creek, California. We generally make it 100% clear that sub-sections of cities are sub-sections of a city, and we generally use the present name for a place with past different names, unless there is enough to justify having multiple articles on the same place. Waldon is a neighborhood of Walnut Creek that for a time was a seperate census-designated place. There is not enough for two articles so the one article should reflect the current situation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:19, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The problem is that Waldon's territory is now part of the Contra Costa Centre CDP, not inside the borders of Walnut Creek (see the city's zoning map),. A better solution would be to merge this to the Contra Costa Centre, California article instead. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:05, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to Contra Costa Centre, California, per Zzyzx11. This really doesn't have anything to do with Walnut Creek other than proximity.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  08:50, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

I don't see why there is a paragraph about pipeline expansion on the "Local Folklore" section. This isn't really connected to the undergrounding of the creek. Also, IIRC, the current project is a water main that is running towards San Ramon. They hit a Kinder Morgan petrolium pipeline near a location where the petrol pipeline jogged towards the path of the new pipeline.

How about we remove the whole section on "secrets." I must have missed what the gang has to do with the fact that there is a secret lake. _________________________________________________________

Absolutely all that is required to be in the notable persons list here or at any settlement article is a Wikipedia bio or enough references to show that the person would qualify and a reliable reference either in this list or in the bio showing a connection (either birth or residence for a significant time) to the community.  If the list is too long (generally 30-35 names), then perhaps a List of people from Walnut Creek article should be spun off. Under no circumstances should an editor impose his own judgement on who should and shouldn't be on the list as is bring attempted here. John from Idegon (talk) 05:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Bay Miwok in Walnut Creek
Our history section appears to contradict the Bay Miwok article which says:

There are five authenticated tribes or bands with villages of the same name:[4] [5]

At present-day City of Lafayette and/or Walnut Creek: Saclan. Saclan territory extended through the hills east of present day City of Oakland, Rossmoor, Lafayette, Moraga, and Walnut Creek. At Present-day City of Concord: Chupcan. At Mt. Diablo and along Marsh Creek: Volvon (also spelled Wolwon, Zuicun). At San Joaquin River (east of Antioch): Julpon. At Present-day City of Danville or Walnut Creek, on San Ramon Creek: Tatcan.

And there is no mention of the Bolbon Indians, although there is mention of the Volvon Indians, which may be variant spellings of the same word. --Kevin Murray (talk) 16:34, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Further research indicates that the Bolbon and Volvon are one in the same. I rewrote the paragraph to reflect the information at the Bay Miwok page. --Kevin Murray (talk) 17:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Employers
should add some of the largest/notable employers ...Kaiser,Longs,Joint Genome Institute, Safeway etc...will draft if time permits--Billymac00 (talk) 05:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Link to Sacramento
I placed a wikipedia-link in this article where the word "Sacramento" appears. Another editor, who appears to be stalking me and is reverting everything that I do, claims that I am "overlinking" by doing this. I have read the policy, and think I understand it, and I disagree with him. The word "Sacramento" was not linked anywhere else in this article before I made the link, and I think that my link provided good context for a reader who did not know Walnut Creek but thought that maybe they knew Sacramento. Was there anything wrong with my link? I would like someone objective to give their opinions. 74.234.45.208 (talk) 02:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess this edit proves that this editor realizes that he has been caught harassing and/or falsely accusing me of violating wikipedia procedures. I won't hold my breathe waiting for an apology, but at least now the truth is out there for everyone to see. 74.234.45.208 (talk) 02:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Images
With a city article, the images should provide a clear image of whatever section they're illustrating. There were two black and white photos of downtown and I removed one, since it was focused on cars parked along the street, which could be anywhere, not necessarily Walnut Creek. I left in the one that shows more of what is clearly Walnut Creek. I also removed a Canal Trail photo from "open Space" since, although the caption stated it was "near an open space," was not a photo of an actual open space.

The Northgate Community photo--this is actually a neighborhood in the city. There are currently no neighborhoods listed on this article and since the photo is mainly of a street, it doesn't really represent the neighborhood very well--my opinion. This is a pretty good article on the city and I would like to see the photos reflect what's in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utilizer (talk • contribs) 16:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Points of interest vs. restaurants
Please don't put restaurants under "Points of interest" unless the restaurant is in a notably historic building (with evidence of that), or is of some other historic value. If you want to create a "business" section and include some notable restaurants (restaurants that have long standing in the community, historic sites, and/or well documented critical reviews, etc.), that would make more sense.

The suggestion from 2008 is an even better one--a section for "Employers" (or "Economy") with the city's biggest employers. That would benefit the article. Since Walnut Creek has a lot of restaurants, an approximate count and estimate of employees, plus revenue restaurants generate for the area would ultimately be the most informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utilizer (talk • contribs) 16:49, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Notable people guidelines
This "notable people" section is ridiculously large, even after extensive editing. Here are some guidelines before placing anyone (or their band) on this list:

1. Subject should have a large amount of media coverage from reliable sources, such as NY Times, SF Chronicle, Slate, other major magazines and news sites, etc. By large amount, I would recommend 8-10 substantial articles or interviews. Media coverage from IMDB, bot-generated lists, or promotional pieces don't count. And/or

2. Subject should have had a well-documented, long and/or successful career in his or her field of expertise, be he/she pro athlete, bestselling author, actor (from long-running, critically acclaimed and/or award-winning TV or film roles), educator, activist, etc. And/or

3. Subject should be singularly notable as in one-of-a-kind local founders who formed the town, well-documented historic figures, Olympic medalists and well-established national competition winners, singular and well-known public leaders, etc.

Even with these guidelines, the list is rather extensive for such a small town. But I'm leaving it for now, due to the fact that Walnut Creek has produced and housed a lot of professional athletes over the years, and I think that's notable as long as those athletes reached some sort of pinnacle in their sport, or had a very active career at the pro level.

Feel free to add or edit these guidelines, but before placing another name on this list, please take them into account because it takes away from the article to have a large list of questionable content. --Utilizer (talk) 23:38, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, but notable people sections in settlement articles already have a guideline. It is called NLIST. It has two requirements. Either a Wikipedia bio or enough referencing to show the person would qualify for one; and a reliable reference, either in their bio or attached to their entry in the list, showing a connection to the community either by birth or significant residence. Pretty much everything you've put here in the last few days is false. It substitutes your judgement for established guidelines which is a clear violation of policy (WP:OWN). Care to rethink your recent statements here? John from Idegon (talk) 23:59, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * That's your opinion. I've been following notability guidelines since 2009 and my guidelines here qualify under Wikipedia's list. The problem arose from too many people putting their name on the Walnut Creek notability list without adequate reference backup. Anyone can put up a Wikipedia page, but general guidelines recommend at least 10 substantial media references (or a significant role in a historical context, and I admit I subjectively take into account the shrinking print-media of our times and how difficult it is to get that much press when starting out in a career) to establish notability for that article. Just because someone's Wiki page hasn't been challenged or marked for deletion doesn't mean it necessarily qualifies for notability, either on the site, or on this city page. Hence, I'm trying to get this list down to a manageable size. It's an ongoing issue on Wikipedia and in this article--I'm not saying anything new (or false). --Utilizer (talk) 00:12, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Everything you have stated is unabashedly FALSE. GNG does not require 8-10 sources. An athlete is considered notable if they have had as little as one appearance in a big league game. For some sports they only have to have been drafted in the first couple rounds. An individual need have no connection with the town other than birth or residence.  They do not have to have any significance to the community at all.

 * The good faith position here is you are ignorant of current guidelines. The other choice is you are trying to own this article. If you don't like the current guidelines and policies an editor with a much experience as you should know where to go to discuss that.  This isn't it. Stop the owner behavior on this article. I am at a loss as to what else to call it. I have over 800 settlements on my watchlist and gave never seen an editor with the gall to think HE can set the rules for who can and can't be included on the notable list on any one of them. Settlement articles are one of the most common points of entry for new editors to Wikipedia. Having uniform policies is perhaps more important on settlements than any other area. John from Idegon (talk) 06:13, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm following Wikipedia guidelines for notability. I took the time to research each person on this article's notability list and edited accordingly. Here are the notability guidelines for biographical articles from Wikipedia: Notability (people) — this is helpful for anyone who wants to create a biographical article. True, the settlement watch list states that anyone on a settlement notable-people list must have a Wikipedia biographical page, but that biography ideally, in a perfect world, should originate from and adhere to notability guidelines, which are excerpted here (these are not my words—they're directly from the Wikipedia Notability (people) article: --Utilizer (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Any biography

 * 1) The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.
 * 2) The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.(1.)

Academics

Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources.

Creative professionals

Authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals:
 * 1) The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
 * 2) The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
 * 3) The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
 * 4) The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Entertainers

Actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and celebrities:
 * 1) Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
 * 2) Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
 * 3) Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
 * 4) * See WP:MUSIC for guidelines on musicians, composers, groups, etc.

Politicians

 * 1) Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.(1.) This is a secondary criterion.  People who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion.  Biographers and historians will usually have already written about the past and present holders of major political offices.  However, this criterion ensures that our coverage of major political offices, incorporating all of the present and past holders of that office, will be complete regardless. This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
 * 2) Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.(2.)
 * 3) Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".

Sports personalities

An athlete is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor and so is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

Reference notes:

1. Generally, a person who is "part of the enduring historical record" will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians. A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. An actor who has been featured in magazines has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple magazine feature articles, by magazine article writers. An actor or TV personality who has "an independent biography" has been written about, in depth, in a book, by an independent biographer.

2. This is a secondary criterion. People who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion. Biographers and historians will usually have already written about the past and present holders of major political offices. However, this criterion ensures that our coverage of major political offices, incorporating all of the present and past holders of that office, will be complete regardless.

Notability continued
I don't consider myself some brutal editing overlord. I simply wanted to make sure Walnut Creek's notable people are notable according to Wikipedia guidelines. It's not the most pleasant task, but it makes for a more informative read and reflects the city and the difficulty it takes to be a notable person in your field. Also, the notable-people list was really bloated and some entries were blatantly self-promotional. One entry actually admitted to being in town to help a relative out--that was on the list. The sports people are a quandary because some people make it to the pros, which is nearly impossible, but their careers were cut very short and not distinguished. There could definitely be argument for leaving all those people on the list. Not all my edits could stand under that discussion. And I'm fine with that. That's what editors do--discuss and decide. But hostility doesn't warrant the best outcome in these cases. I'm a volunteer editor. It takes a long time to research all these biographies. I researched their secondary sources and references too--I didn't take this task lightly. I'd appreciate some civil discussion over the matter. --Utilizer (talk) 20:08, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Bands of note
Much like pro athletes, it's not always easy to make it as a notable musician/band. Extensive press helps the cause. I recommended 8-10 press references above, not because I'm the page's (or any page's) overlord, but because that's a good number of references to ensure your page won't be marked for deletion. I've fought that battle and it's no fun. You don't have to have 8-10 references, but it really helps. Six to seven is a good starting number and build from there. Again--I'm not making a rule. I'm trying to help you in your quest for notability. As painful as this process can be, I can understand why the guidelines are in place. Because without them, literally everyone in the world could claim a Wikipedia page. This little city page could have thousands of notable people on it. I've discovered this knowledge the hard way.

This surf band, La Luz, is a good sample of a relatively new band with lots of good press references. I believe their page was marked for deletion and someone did the research and referenced it up and it probably will stay on the site now. Do the same with your local band if at all possible. Good luck! I'm rooting for you. --Utilizer (talk) 02:25, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

1964 Tsunami
It's worth noting that I haven't seen record of another tsunami since the one indicated in the article. Certainly nothing that caused any noteworthy damage. Calling the city 'prone to tsunamis' is a stretch at best.
 * It's not a stretch. It has been documented by Humboldt State University that Crescent City has been particularly vulnerable to tsunamis for centuries; the most major one occuring in 1700 with a runup for more than a mile. However, a manmade breaker installed after the 1964 disaster may have alleviated the problem in recent years.-- ZincOrbie 21:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

2005 evacuation
As a resident who lives about 100 feet above the tsunami flood zone at a major intersection in Crescent City, I find the report of a 20-minute evacuation of the city quite dubious. There was near gridlock at my intersection (within city limits) for at least one hour. I videotaped the confusion and curb-jumping, as cars sat idle for long periods of time in street lanes.

If the "official" report is a successful 20-minute evacuation, I will not dispute it. But it is not what I witnessed.

I was there for the evacuation too, and it was mayhem. The "20 minutes" figure is PR, nothing more.

Darius 18:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Pictures?
I'll be heading out this week to take some pictures that I think will be representative of my hometown of Crescent City. I'd like to invite others to do this too. Our town deserves a better Wikipedia page! Rembrandt 07:33, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

1-2006 cleanup
I removed the general description paragraph that originally followed the tsunami history. It read like a sales brochure, and the section was mostly redundant when compared with the "History" and "Geography" sections. The non-redundant areas were incorporated into those sections. I also added some more tsunami statistics and attribution.-- ZincOrbie 16:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Greyhound
Not sure what the rationale was for putting a line-out through the mention of Greyhound bus service rather than simply removing it. I've done so. It's too bad Greyhound doesn't make the stop anymore. It's a real hassle making the trip from Eureka so late at night. Any truth to the rumor that they're not making the stop because they don't want to carry Pelican Bay parolees anymore? Yeshuamyking7 03:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Coordinates
There seem to be two different sets of coordinates listed... the one in the fact panel on the right, and a different one at the top right of the page and at the bottom in the references section. Not sure what to make of this, or which is correct... Anyone know? Dianoguy (talk) 11:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If you check on the map, both coordinates seem to be the same place downtown (on 4th Street) in CC. I know that Cal Trans does mileage to city halls. But I cannot be sure what the standard is here. Norcalal 18:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

"Magnetic Draws"
"... and rivers with their magnetic draws that are positioned to the city." What is a magnetic draw, especially from a river? Is this a geologic term? If so, shouldn't there be a Wiki for it? Thanks. 155.103.6.254 (talk) 14:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Inappropriate additions
Per Wiki standards, Ships by the eponymous name should be mentioned in a separate article or a Crescent City disambiguation page, if not already there. Norcalal (talk) 17:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Crescent City population issues continue.
Recent Crescent City population numbers have challenges. There is the City itself which may be around 3,000 and the prison, which is several thousand more. But the idea that there is a metro population of nearly 30,000 in CC is impossible. IF the Census has a Micro area defined for purposes of demographics, it may declare that the entire county is the CC Micro area, which does not make sense to list CC as a Metro at all. But before these numbers get changed again, I propose that editors need to build consensus on the totals and sources before placing what appear to wildly huge numbers in such a small area/city. Perhaps, also, there needs to be a differentiation between the total in the City and the number in the prison. Regards, Norcalal (talk) 10:00, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Pelican Bay State Prison declares a total population of 3461 AS OF 2006/7. Norcalal (talk) 10:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The MICROPOLITAN Statistical Area (which is the entirety of Del Norte County) is NOT the same as a Metro population. There is no such designation for Crescent City or anywhere in the region. It is misleading to list a Metro population for CC: It is incorrect. Norcalal (talk) 05:15, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

MORE CRESCENT CITY DEMOGRAPHIC ISSUES The page states: "For every 100 females there were 250.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 298.5 males." This clearly includes the prison population, which is exclusively male. It would be useful to have a measure for ratios for people on the street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.64.248 (talk) 03:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Crescent City Harbor
The use of the term boat basin to describe the overall harbor district or harbor itself is misleading. The Inner and Outer Boat Basin are distinctive administrative parts of the harbor related to mooring fees. When referring to the Harbor District as a whole, one usually does not describe it as a boat basin, but as a harbor or port. Norcalal (talk) 03:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've also removed "boat basin" from the Transportation section. In attempting to expand the lead section summary earlier, I did a paraphrase of that relevant sentence, without that difference registering in my mind. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:08, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

What are "eels"?
Under Trivia, it says the following:

 * Salmon, Steelhead, Lamprey "eels" and Sturgeon are staples of the Native diet.

I cleaned up and wikilinked everything except "eels" surrounded in quotes — I'm not quite sure what is meant by this. I commented it out for now. --Äþelwulf See my contributions. 08:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I would like to know more about the airplanes people use to commute to work from here, and the wide streets to acommodate them.

To the above anonymous request, here's a Google satellite view of the airport and the adjoining neighborhood with wide streets. Perhaps someone more familiar with the local area could elaborate on this in the article itself, as it seems like a pretty noteworthy idea: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Cameron+Park,+CA&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=38.685644,-120.989782&spn=0.005485,0.013561 --72.145.118.79 23:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

This page is damaged, mainly from an accumulation of edits of small portions without regard to the whole of the text. The damage cannot be repaired, all text is locked except the basic CDP numbers. There are some additional problems noted on the replacement that I just uploaded to my personal web site, www.sierrafoot.org.

These are mainly minor additions to bring the existing information closer to being current. Their other purpose was to be an initial training exercise for me, checking out how to update pages.

Low Crime Rate
An A grade indicates that the crime rate in El Dorado Hills is significantly lower than the average U.S. city. El Dorado Hills ranks in the 92nd percentile for safety, which means it is safer than 92% of cities, with only 8% of cities being safer. This evaluation is specific to the official boundaries of El Dorado Hills.

The crime rate in El Dorado Hills is 21.39 incidents per 1,000 residents annually. Residents typically regard the western part of the city as the safest.

El Dorado Hills, with its notably low crime rate, offers a secure and peaceful environment, making it an ideal location for raising a family. The community's strong sense of safety and tranquility enhances the quality of life for its residents. Torreyvanhorn123 (talk) 20:33, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Commentary About Weekend Tourists in the Geography Section
Hey 75.85.174.151, us tourists don't like the traffic as much as you locals, but Wikipedia is probably not the best place for this discussion. Also unfortunately I just looked at the construction plans here (http://www.cityofplacerville.org/news/highway_50_improvement_project.asp), and while the road will be widened and a new bridge built, the existing 3 lights will merely be "retimed". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.143.52 (talk) 06:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC) I have read that the official elevation of Placerville is 1,866 ft above sea level, but the article here says over 2,100 ft? Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.160.116.250 (talk) 00:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Contradiction about date when Placerville's name was changed from Hangtown
There is a contradiction in this article but I don't know what the correct information is. First one reads:

"Later in 1849, the town earned its most common historical name, "hangtown", due to the numerous hangings that had taken place there[3]. By 1850, the temperance league and a few local churches had begun to request that a more friendly name be bestowed upon the town. The name was not changed until 1854 when the City of Placerville was incorporated."

Then, a couple of paragraphs down, it says:

"Placerville is nicknamed "Old Hangtown" (due to the fact that many people were hanged in the late 1800s)[7]" (...)

Was it the mid-1800s or the late 1800s?

Also, is it true that the town was officially called Hangtown before it was named Placerville?

Mgh511 08:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was.

But, also, Wiki declares Placerville to also originally be "Dry Diggin's" and "Blood and Guts" before women's league changed it to "Hangtown". In another paragraph, it looks like Women's League changed it from "Hangtown" to "Placerville". Which way IS it?68.231.184.217 (talk) 17:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Google Earth
I don't know how the whole thing works, but a dot appears for Placerville on Google Earth, referencing this article on wikipedia. The problem is that the dot on google earth is out of place, displaying it as being in Yuba County. The coords for the dot are 39 13 32.08 N 121 20 01 W   If someone could fix it it would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.89.149 (talk) 09:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, some other people noticed it was wrong, too. My edit should have fixed all of the coordinates.  It may take a little bit for Google to update the Earth data. Jason McHuff (talk) 13:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hanging Platform
I've lived in Placerville for 11 years and and there is no platform to be seen in the location where the hangings took place. All accounts mention a tree, usually referred to as an "Oak" or "White Oak" and that tree was cut down and according to many sources (all web sites) the the stump of the tree is located in the "Cellar" "Under", "Crawlspace" of the Hangman's Tree Tavern which is now closed.

Out of about ~10 sites I looked at, only two mention a platform and only one (cite 11) says that you can still see it.

I believe that the author of the web page at http://www.usacitiesonline.com/cacountyplacerville.htm was most likely confused by the historic Bell Tower.

Here is link to the historic marker for the Hangman's Tree: http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=10504

On this page a letter written by one of the Mountain Democrat's (the local newspaper) staff writers debate the existence of the tree stump at all. http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=134273483881&topic=12648

Here is a better source (newspaper article) that writes that the Hangman's Tree tavern is built over the stump of the hanging tree: http://articles.latimes.com/1998/dec/27/local/me-57937 75.8.106.13 (talk) 23:07, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Placerville, 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 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 "spots": From John Augustus Raffetto:  From U.S. Route 50 in California:

Reference named "history": From History of Los Angeles: Ríos-Bustamante, Antonio. Mexican Los Ángeles: A Narrative and Pictoral History, Nuestra Historia Series, Monograph No. 1. (Encino: Floricanto Press, 1992), 50–53. . From John Augustus Raffetto:  From International Standard Book Number:

Talk:Pollock Pines, California

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Discrepancy of listed snowfall range and average
The "Pollock Pines receives annual snowfall between 6 inches (150 mm) and 6 feet (1.8 m)" does not correspond to the also posted climate table of 79.3 average per year inches of snow listed. One or the other should be incorrect, probably the sentence without citation. Of course, it could be two separate locations in the same town, as quite possibly Pollock Pines varies 1,000 feet (310 m) or more in elevation within the city boundaries. This should be researched and stated as such, if this is the case. Said discrepancies are very common in the windward chaparral to pines transition zone of the Sierra Nevada Range, where the town is located. 93.74.116.48 (talk) 08:54, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Also I do not know how to post a disputed or source listing for the sentence, though they are common in Wikipedia. For those who know how, please post it behind the mentioned sentence. 93.74.116.48 (talk) 08:56, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Looked up on the wiki linked Acme Map page as well as one of the contour maps. Union Hill seems inside the city limits from the miles associated on the county map, and (tiny red shaded) city limits on the main wiki page.  It is 1316 meters high, or about 330 meters more than the main city center, road to the top, and may well have a lookout/weather station on the height.  And there apparently is a populated southerly arm nearly all at about 1200 meters above sea level.  So maybe either is the secondary location, for the rain into snow change.  Shading of north eastern locations is not pronounced in the city/town limits, and usually this adiabatic cooling release does not normally have enough an averaged effect upon the snowfall within such small elevation change only two miles away on a ridge (as is the case with Pollock Pines). It quite often does significantly change the average snow accumulation average, a statistic which is not listed in the wiki for this page but is for the former Squaw Valley (renamed Palisades Tahoe as of 2020) article entry and for numerous other mountain, heavy snowfall or far northern locations. 93.74.116.48 (talk) 10:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

This article erroneously lists Mike Thompson as US Congressional Representative. However, that is no longer correct. South Lake Tahoe is now in 3rd Congressional District with Republican Kiley as the Representative. I tried, but failed, to edit this information. There is a general flaw in the Wikipedia algorithm that updates the Representative of a particular numbered Congressional District, but fails to update whether the particular city has been reassigned to a new Congressional District following the redistricting following the decennial census. The result is that the current Congressperson for the old District us shown, rather than the Congressperson for the newly assigned District.

I hope that someone with better editing skills than I will make this change. More importantly, I hope that someone who is in a position to do so will limit the current algorithm to the 4 out of 5 changes of Congress that do not involve redistricting, and find some other way of handling changes following the decennial redistricting.

Talk:Clovis, California

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

The City of Clovis is today a prosperous and peaceful community of over 80,000 residents, with excellent schools and a thriving business community. Does this seem neccessary in an encyclopedia article? If I wanted to hear this I would visit Clovis' chamber of commerce.

History
I'd like to add the following to the History section: --MPerel Nov 1 2004 11:54
 * Clovis became incorporated on February 27, 1912. City limits were bounded by Minnewawa, Barstow, Sunnyside, and Sierra Avenues, one square mile.  This section of the city is known today as “Old Town Clovis.”

I'd also like to add information about the town name, early history about the Yokuts Indians, Spanish exploration in the early 1800s responsible for some of the local geographic names, Mexican sovereignty, then United States acquisition. Also there is a lot of interesting history about the migration of diverse peoples that came to Clovis, the various events and motivations that brought them here. --MPerel Nov 1 2004 12:59

Schools
Suggestion to move information about Clovis Unified School District into its own article--it seems a bit more appropriate there than on the city's article, especially since CUSD extends into northeast Fresno. --67.181.169.238 06:23, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Clovis and the KKK
Over the years, I've heard several times that Clovis has a significant number of KKK members, reputedly the most in the state/region/Nation. For example, an MIT student describing his hometown of Clovis, makes the claim that "Clovis is kind of cute, in a weird extremely right-wing, 2nd highest population of KKK members in the nation, valley girl kind of way." I'm not sure if this is simply apocryphal, reflecting perceptions of the conservative, affluent and ethnically homogenous population of Clovis or if it has some kernel of truth. Wikipedia's article on the KKK estimates that there are only about 3,000 members nationwide, so even a tiny portion of the Clovis population would likely suffice. The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies two active hate groups in the area, but they are Neo-Nazis, not KKK, and they're actually in Fresno. Just recently, the California Skinheads held an event in Coarsegold that reportedly drew at least 70 people and possibly more (Source: Fresno Bee). This article recounts a KKK rally on the Fresno State campus in 1997, consisting of only 17 people. I haven't been able to find any sources which identify where these people are from; it's entirely possible that the KKK members holding the rally came from out of town. So, whether it merits inclusion in this article or not, I'm curious to know if anyone has any evidence that can support or refute the claim. -Anþony 23:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * If there are only 70 skinheads in a state the size of California, that seems like good news. – 50.92.120.214 (talk) 17:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Kevin Federline Reference?
Is it necessary for the Clovis page to reference Federline twice? In the first section of the entry it says that he is one of the notable residents, and yet it does not mention other notable references. Furthermore, the article about him does not mention Clovis, saying only that he was born in Fresno and that he now resides in Hollywood Hills. He may have lived in Clovis at some point, I am not certain, but is he really so notable that an encyclopedia entry about the city of Clovis should mention him?
