Talk:Cerritos, California

message: There is a list of cities that have already qualified as Featured articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities#Wikipedia featured articles. Two California cities have already achived FA status, San Francisco, California and San Jose, California. It would be nice to see a city from Southern California also achive FA status. 
If you look at the Cerritos, California Todo list, there is a very long list of issues from the Peer review and Featured article candidate processes. 
Besides those issues, I think there several of the photos in the Cerritos article came from the official City of Cerritos website. Those images are copyrighted and also don't qualify for use on the Wikipedia under the tightened guidelines for Fair use on the English-language Wikipedia. Any of the photos that can be identified as coming from the Cerritos website should be reported as copyright violations, and then attempts should be made to find replacements for them.

message: :Image:Cerritos Library.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  FYI 

message: The following is unsourced information:
*According to the California Association of Realtors (CAR), the median price of a single-family home in Cerritos is approximately $749,000 as of August 2006.
*The last dairy building in Cerritos was demolished in March 1989.
*Cerritos Avenue does not pass through anywhere in the City of Cerritos, but rather, runs generally east-west just south of Cerritos in Cypress and Los Alamitos in Orange County.
*Other names for Cerritos that were considered were "Los Coyotes" (turned down because of a negative connotation, though more historically accurate), and "Freeway City" (lacked the sophistication and class that the Cerritos Chamber of Commerce desired).
*Cerritos has the first and largest deployment of a wireless-fidelity Internet network (Wi-Fi) in the world provided by Aiirmesh. The coverage area completely encompasses all  and allows subscribers with a wireless Ethernet card to access the Internet from anywhere within the city boundaries.
*The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts' most celebrated audience member has been His Royal Highness Charles, Prince of Wales, attending a performance of Henry VI by the Royal Shakespeare Company, in November 1994. 
*The City of Cerritos has received the title of "Tree City USA" for the seventh straight year by the National Arbor Day Foundation.
*It is illegal to park your car on the street during the hours of 2:00am to 5:00am without a pass.  A pass will only be given if the resident has more than 4 cars.  (Two in the garage and two in the driveway).  This helps the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department quickly find suspicious vehicles in the area.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 00:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "At its peak, the City produced more dairy than any other place in the nation, surpassing even the entire state of Wisconsin." Really? A city of 8.9 sq miles produced more dairy than a state of 65,000 sq miles? I could believe that California produces more dairy than Wisconsin (it actually does), and that Cerritos was the single largest dairy producing city in CA (no idea if this is true), but there's no way one small city surpasses the entire state of Wisconsin. This fact is unsourced, and I'm removing it.192.104.39.2 (talk) 19:55, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
