thread_title:  "Sister City" 

message: In Douglas Coupland's "Shampoo Planet", Richland serves as the loose basis for the main character's fictional hometown "Lancaster". Similarities include the desert climate, the Columbia River, neighboring Pasco, inclusion in Benton County, proximity to nuclear production facilities, and the the high school's mushroom cloud mascot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.164.250 (talk) 04:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pop culture references 

message: I have removed this from the text of the article, as it was inappropriately placed there:
"Correction.
The Hanford construction workers housing camp built during WW II was located approximately  north of Richland. The construction workers camp that was built for the early Cold War (1947-49) expansion was located less than five miles north of Richland."
If a good reference could be found to clear up the disagreement, that would be well.—Saxifrage ✎ 17:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: There are too many images in this article. Try having images placed in an appropriate category at Wikimedia Commons (Main Page) and place an interwiki link to it in the "See also" section. -- allen四names 03:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I failed to note the photo gallery section. I will move the images from the main body of the article into the photo gallery section. Please consider witch images belong in the main body of the article before moving them back. -- allen四names 05:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The images were all moved to the gallery section, which was then removed in place of a link to the commons. Now we have gone from an article with 'too many images' to one with no images at all. The style manual says nothing (that I could find) about banning images from cities' articles. I will replace some of the images as soon as I find time - but in the interest of those who felt there were 'too many images' - I will try to show restraint.

text: Not sure what happened, but none of the images removed from this page's 'gallery' made it to the Commons page that was inserted in their place. I'm going to have a crack at figuring out how that is done, and see if I can fix it. Nothingofwater (talk) 20:46, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too many images 

message: That statement that Richland was a restricted-access city during WW II is incorrect. I was born there in 1945 and it was an open city during my childhood. I recall reading somewhere that the open access was one feature that distinguished it from the other two Manhattan project towns, Oak Ridge and Los Alamos. --Charles Packer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.156.36.60 (talk) 19:08, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

message: In the World War II paragraph, the original image captioned "Richland during the early days..." actually showed an area under construction after the war, in 1948-49. I replaced it with a more apt image that I found in the gallery.
Fun fact: the field that occupies the lower right area became the
neighborhood that now comprises the Gold Coast Historic District. I also brought some text over from the District
page that is more appropriate here, in preparation for making a major edit to that page. Cpacker666 (talk) 01:55, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Request received to merge articles: [[{Richland Y, Washington}]] into [[{Richland, Washington}]]; dated: {February/2024}. Proposer's Rationale: {I've checked all the local papers on the history of this place. It's just a community in Richland and needs merging.} Discuss here. James.folsom (talk) 21:45, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no problem with this.  The Richland Y is only distinctive as a part of Richland, and any history pertinent to the Y would also be a part of Richland history.  If it has/had some other significance, I am unaware of it.  I vote merge. Nothingofwater (talk) 01:25, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
