replies: text: The excerpt does not belong in the lead paragraph. Please familiarize yourself with the following policy  Please avoid changes that smack of racism to a large portion of any population. Your statement: "Admittedly, most of the time, a person being referred to as an "illegal alien" is Hispanic, but this is because, to state the obvious, most illegal aliens in the united states are Hispanic." is unverified and to the Hispanic population racist and insulting.  Please examine where this is coming from, it certainly does not belong in Wikipedia.
Please Remember to edit in "Good Faith."  In addition, the info is already contained in the body of the article so is redundant. I see you have not made many edits and in good faith I am assuming you are not familiar with Wiki's policies or pillars. You may want to do so. Happy Editing!  Shalom!

thread_title:  Recent Major Government Change to 100% contracted 

message: This entire article seems to be very poorly written, especially those parts that discuss the city's decision to layoff all employees.  The article does not even mention the city's insurer's August 2009, notice that the city was in danger of losing coverage if it did not meet specified conditions, or the associated issues of the city's inability to attract a qualified city manager, its failure to address major liability issues involving the police department and apparent political gridlock, all mentioned in the cited 6/25/10 LA Times article.  Moreover, the whole "illegal alien" population discussion relates back to a single, unsourced reference in a local TV station report.  I have absolutely no stake in this article and only came to it after reading a news report about the global layoffs, so will not follow-up, but please, let's do a little better.

thread_title:  Editor or critic?

message: Yay! Here we go. Teamwork! TY!!  Researching DOES take hours, end of story. ;-)  I do use at least two browser windows for ease of inputting.I appreciate the thought and work you have put into the above intro. A couple of problems: Due to intense arguments with other editors some info is just better off left intact.  I HATE the word illegals, people are not illegal! See history for the recent discussion.Your population demographic is incorrect. (see demographics in article.)  (TY for not just popping it in!!)  I suggest this compromise:
"Maywood is a working class city in Los Angeles County, California, with a population of over 30,000.<ref name="2010est">California Department of Finance. "E-1 City / County Population Estimates — January 1, 2009 and 2010." California Department of Finance. May 2010. Retrieved on June 24, 2010. At 1.4 square miles,http://www.cityofmaywood.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=73  Maywood is the third-smallest incorporated city in Los Angeles County.  Largely because of the troubled history and reputation of the Maywood Police Department , the city’s liability and Workers Comp insurer notified the city in August 2009, that it would cancel its coverage effective July 1, unless the city was able to meet specified conditions.  When the city was unable to meet those conditions or find coverage elsewhere, as of July 1st, 2010,  it disbanded its police department, laid off all city employees, except for the city manager, city attorney and elected officials, and contracted with other agencies for provision of all municipal services, a move apparently unprecedented among California cities."
Though Maywood officials stopped short of filing for bankruptcy or even giving up the city's municipal status, with a large deficit, the city still faces daunting problems.  From now on, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will patrol the streets, while the neighboring City of Bell, will be compensated to  oversee other functions, such as staffing City Hall. http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/29/news/economy/city_fires_employees/index.htm
:What do you think? Be prepared for someone to argue about the "illegals".  For currency, I think the second paragraph needs to be included. I like the way you reworded large 
:parts. Note the format for references. I added some, you can find some LOL. Sorry I did not reply immediately, I didn't see your edit. You may leave a note on my talk page anytime. Questions etc.

:Dear Moreau36, THanks a bunch for the above edits.
:To what "dubious remark are you referring? Yes, the demographics are a mess, every source says something different. But ALL must be referenced which you failed to do. The source you are using is a mirror from Wikipedia, which is A)Not allowed and B) just as inaccurate as the other sources. It is late and in the interest of Wikilove, I will close here. Looking forward to your reply and your assistance in finding and citing the proper demographic data. Namaste....DocOfSoc (talk) 11:22, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: By looking at most of the other (thousands of) city articles. The demographic numbers were "bot-generated" from the 2000 census information a few years ago. It's a waste of tome to tag "" on every article in relation. Take the time to browse every city's demographic section (large or small) nationwide. The result is that you'll see the same format as the one here. As far as the dubious statement. There is a separate section on the "undocumented" population, thus it shouldn't be mentioned more than once. --Moreau36--Discuss 15:48, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  The "undocumented population" issue is left over from a discussion with another editor, and as the article evolves with all its issues, it may indeed be mentioned more than once. IMO "dubious" is a word better left for the discussion page rather than remarks. If you had read the history, you would have seen I have put in an enormous amount of time researching and editing this article. I have read dozens of articles and found the demographics for Maywood highly inconsistent rather than the bot generated to which you refer. Waste of time or not, Wiki requires reliable references or item can be deleted. I am not telling you anything you don't know, so I don't know from whence you are coming. May we assume good faith and go forward from here? This is a complicated tiny town and  helpful input is much appreciated. I have been around long enough to witness most of its evolution from neighboring town, oops, city ;-) Happy editing!

thread_title:  MOREAU36, your assistance is requested 

message: Ucla, I am truly astounded that you would  decide without discussion to  arbitrarily decide to delete most of the pictures. I brought this article from a stub to B status by carefully removing some and arranging the pics n this article. Please discuss here before making any drastic changes. Yes it does need work since I last looked at it, but you are not  to decide to decimate the article of the very charming little town, without discussion . — DocOfSoc • Talk •   00:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the changes made before today, do make it look cluttered. I would appreciate  if we could return to our  amicable working relationship and would appreciate your help sorting the pictures rather than removing them. It is the montage created in the  info box that duplicates pic from the article.  The Church pics need to be in two columns,. This is a small city very proud of its many churches. I would really appreciate your help. Teamwork is always best. Namaste... — DocOfSoc • Talk •   00:27, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Am in the process of updating article and rearranged/removed some images. The main problem is the gallery of churches (I personally don't like galleries). I randomly removed half the church pics because I do not know how to create a third column with pics in a gallery.  If you could create a third column and replace the church images, that would be great. Having discussed this previously the consensus was that leaving out any particular church might be offensive.
