Talk:Octavia Boulevard

message: Just curious; does anybody know what the silver pole contraptions are along the blvd?  They look almost like little mini telescopes or something?  What are they for? Kjl (talk) 00:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Octavia Boulevard is well-known in planning circles as a pre-eminent example of the "multiway boulevard" street type - a project in which the pre-eminent U.S. researchers on multiway boulevards (Alan Jacobs and Elizabeth MacDonald) directly participated. I think the correct term of art should be used in the article, somewhere at least. I can't imagine why someone would have edited that out, so if there's a strong reason there, please help me out.

Talk:Old Bank District, Los Angeles

message: There was an accident in 1938 at the NW corner of 8th and Spring. This article (subscription may be required) in the LA Times, states that it is located "in the financial district." (1st paragraph). I don't know what the difference of financial and bank districts are. If they are one in the same, then this needs renaming and rewriting.

thread_title:  POV and Notability 

message: Perhaps this short article might be merged into Plank road? Rwood128 (talk) 12:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose this merge, as the trail is of historical importance and notable. What remains of it is a California Historical Landmark that is protected under the US government Bureau of Land Management. The Old Plank Road, was the path used to cross the Mojave desert, some of the most extreme land in North America. The article is poorly sourced and written in shallow terms - it should be improved. It's important that we do not lose this history. The Old Plank Road history is not well covered online, but in California history books, and in the local museums of the Mojave and Anza Borrego deserts there is more information. Like other routes and trails in North America, it was an indigenous people's crossing of the desert, these became immigrant trails before they got "planked" for early motor vehicle traffic.  The article should be improved. Netherzone (talk) 14:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Olive, California

message: Hi everyone, before I you read this passage, I want to tell you that none of this is meant to be mean or rude. I don't mean to offend ANYONE. 
Okay, so I am the editor who posted this article on the "All articles needing copy-edit" backlog, assuming that my counterparts at the Guild of Copy Editors would edit this article accordingly. 
Really what I'm trying to say is that if you're going to edit this article, only edit if you have a proficient understanding in the English Language, OR have experience on this subject.
Once again, I really don't want to be rude or mean, but if you aren't proficient in the English language (can speak, and understand English well) as well as have no experience in this particular subject, I personally thank you for your interest in this article, but you will not be needed. 
Thanks for your interest in making the internet just a little bit better, and once again, I apologize if any offense was taken.

thread_title:  READ BEFORE EDITING 

message: The United States Census Bureau and Orange County disagree on the borders of Olive. 
Reference: 
* Census Bureau map of Orange, CA 
* OC Public Works: Orange County City Boundaries  
(Note: Google Maps seems to display the boundaries published by the county here.
The county shows the strip of land on E Buena Vista Ave between Magnolia Ave and Olive Ave as unincorporated Orange County (thus the county island of Olive), whereas the Census Bureau Map shows two discontinuous sections of unincorporated area, with that middle strip being a part of the city of Orange.
Note: The Census maps are from the 2020 census, and the county boundaries were published in 2018 so something could have changed in that time, but I still don't know which to trust for the time being.
At the moment, the article has the area listed as the area from the county-defined boundaries because you are able to select Olive's specific parcel to get area data, which isn't possible on the Census Data site.

Talk:Nuntii Latini

replies: text: I can find no confirmation of this online. At the time you were less than thirty years old. Were you fluent enough at the time to tell if you were listening to a Latin news broadcast rather than a mass or something, or indeed Latin at all rather than say BBC Mundo?

thread_title:  Text 

message: are you sure about the translation?  Google Translate claims it's just "in Latin" and The Seattle Times says, "News in Latin".  Given the number of variations between the sources, I felt it better to leave it out.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:29, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Google Translate is not a reliable source; this StackExchange answer explains why. Nuntii means news; Latini is an adjective modifying it, meaning Latin. Latin usually uses an adjective or adverb naming a language where English would say "in" the language. I'm not an expert in Latin, but I think both human translations are faithful and intended to mean the same thing. I'll add the Seattle Times one right now. —Ben Kovitz (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Santa Cruz Yachts

message: This is not spam!
This is one among many articles related to sailboat designers and manufacturers. This has no more spam content than any article about a corporation or its prodcuts including: examples such as IBM, BMW, General Mills, Sony, Cadillac etc, where each article contains information on the history of the company, examples of the product, and links to the company website and frequently owners groups.
If the POV appears biased, it is not by intent; however this may be a product with high ratings from consumers and industry analysts.
Please let this stub which I have started grow and thrive. If you have specific concerns please send me a message so we can discuss your concerns.  By citing specifics you can help in the rapid improvement of this article; generalities only leave a writer second guessing your objectives.
Thanks.

thread_title:  Need references 

message: I understand that the title of this article is Santa Cruz Yachts, but it is a bit confusing in that it merges the history of the company (ies) between the current company making SC 52/53 and the original "chicken coop" company that built Merlin and the SC27. When the original Bill Lee Yachts declared bankruptcy and the new owners purchased the assets, I think that was important enough to make a clear division between those periods of ownership.
Also, I have either begun or editted the Moore 24 and Olson 30 articles, and I wonder if we should be creating an article-per-boat or an article-per-builder? The answer is probably to have a hierarchy with information on the builder in one article with links to the boat models.

Talk:Opal Cliffs, California

message: I'm pretty sure that Opal Cliffs CDP is now called Pleasure Point CDP.

Talk:Operation Hammer (1987)

message: I think the section that mentions targeting of "non-Caucasians" needs to be cleaned up. "People of color" were not "targeted", they were the one who lived there, harbored or encouraged drug dealers, and protected the Rolling 30's gang. Live the thug life and you get raided or arrested. The Dalton cops have been criticized for comparing 1980s South Central to contemporary Beirut, but Monster Kody from Eight Tray Gangster Crips compared South Central to 1960s Vietnam. 47.137.182.8 (talk) 15:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

message: I'm performing some serious cleanup of this article along with a copy edit on behalf of the Guild of Copy Editors. One thing in particular I plan to address is converting the lists of attractions into something more descriptive. I'd like to add some images as well, if I can find them.
I also think there is more emphasis than necessary on the political aspects of the park planning, so I may reduce this information once I've fleshed out the attraction section. Feel free to discuss here & add your thoughts! – 𝕘wendy | ☎  14:39, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The political aspects of the Park are of great interest to the people who live in Orange County (an urban area significantly larger than Chicago) and might be of interest to others who want to read the history of the park. I'm not sure what the motivation is to remove them from the article. There really is not much of anything at the park, yet, that is of great interest to anyone who does not actually live near the park. It's the sort of place that you'll drive across town to for a picnic, but I don't think many tourists put it on their "things to see" list when they come to Orange County.

Talk:Segerstrom Center for the Arts

message: Because the talk page discussion is apparently no longer available, can someone explain the reason for the name change from Orange County Performing Arts Center to Segerstrom Center for the Arts?  There is a brief mention here, but the facility's web site still refers to itself as OCPAC.    Alanraywiki (talk) 02:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at Google, some sites are saying Segerstrom Center for the Arts others the other name, but you're right the center's site itself is still shown as Orange County Performing Arts Center. Probably the website was not changed/updated, which sometimes happens when there are name changes or maybe I was a bit too fast for the move. Though an update in the article would be necessary with a source for the change. I've restored the comment left by User:RadioFan on the previous page added the name change of the facility. I've mentionned on the move edit summary if there was any mistake to contact me - so maybe it was a mistake by me. Maybe User:RadioFan can add more about the change. JForget  02:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition to the web site still showing OCPAC, I could not find an announcement about changing the name of the building in the local paper (Orange County Register).  I recommend changing it back until at least until their own web site changes its name.  There should not be a rush to change the article name.  Alanraywiki (talk) 06:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

text: In reading more on RadioFan's talk page, I'm understanding more that an editor is indicating OCPAC is still named that, however it is becoming part of a larger campus.  It would seem appropriate to wait until there is a citation before changing the article name, though. Alanraywiki (talk) 06:16, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: In Papal_election,_1268–71#Procedure it is stated that the cardinals nearly elected Philip Benizi, general of the Servite Order, who had come to Viterbo to admonish the cardinals, but fled to prevent his election. I am unsure how reliable that statement is, but I guess it should either be both in the papal election article as well as here, or in neither.

Talk:Ordbend, California

message: Even though you cite what at first glance appears to be a reliable source for your addition to the article, can you please re-read Durham's California's Geographic Names and see from where he sourced his information? It was from a topographical map published in 1949! Just because one has a source does not mean that it is still accurate after 60 years.
If you had actually read this article, you would have seen that it was already noted that this community's name started as a station on the railroad, however this rail line has been long abandoned. Please check any Web mapping service (Google) to clearly see that the line has been abandoned a long time ago. Accurate information was already in the article.

Talk:Joe Morris (trade unionist)

message: Morris was an international figure, outside of just the  labour field.  For this reason, I rated his importance in the Labour Project higher, because he served on important international labour bodies for many years and that is more pertinent to that category.  On the General WikiProject Biography project, he rates Mid importance because he has the highest class of the Order of Canada: Companion.  As well, his work to stop South African Apartheid was recognized by an international organization.  He also qualifies in the politician category, as he was automatically a Vice-President of the New Democratic Party of Canada, by being the president of the Canadian Labour Congress.  Wish I had more detailed biographical information about him, sounds like a really interesting character.Abebenjoe 18:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The song section appears to be original research. It is problematic because "Oski" does not necessarily refer to the golden bear mascot, and "golden bear" does not necessarily refer to Oski. This is especially true for songs originating before Oski's debut in 1941; during this period, "Oski" almost certainly refers to the yell and "golden bear" refers to a generic animal representing the school, not the specific Oski bear. There does not appear to be a song here that actually refers to Oski the Bear, so I will delete the entire section. Gabriel Classon (talk) 23:19, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
