Talk:Descanso Gardens

message: I added cites to two Los Angeles Times articles about the Desconso Gardens, and updated the links to the History of the Gardens at the official web site. Are there other sources that talk about this place? It would be nice to remove the 'sources needed' flag, but I think two LA Times articles may not suffice for that.

thread_title:  Wikiproject Prisons 

message: I call B.S. DVI is actually not all that violent and is a pretty low-level reception center. The gladiator school label actually originated as a term used for Pelican Bay State Prison, where California keeps its most violent and difficult offenders and prison gang leaders. One murder does not make the prison a "gladiator school" when across California, several murders have taken place in other far harder prisons. DVI has a reputation as being an easy prison to work at where most inmates are involved in work programs. I suspect from the tone of this article and the lack of sources, that it may have been written by someone with an agenda. That person could very well be a prison inmate editing this page with a contraband cell phone that has Internet access. Or, it could be an anti-prison activist, many who have been known to overuse the "gladiator school" label when referring to prisons.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.8.5.17 (talk) 16:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Diablo wind

message: I see a reference added that states the cause as "strong high pressure" over Nevada, downsloping, etc.  I have left this even though it is an oversimplified explanation and is partly redundant to the passage which follows it.  I took some meteorology classes years ago in which it was explained that the local "Santa Ana" was actually not just a phenomenom of a strong offshore pressure gradient and downsloping, but also, of strongly sinking air from aloft produced by the outflow from storms to the north of California.  In fact, an offshore pressure gradient often exists without the Diablo developing unless there is the added ingredient of significant upper level subsidence.  I cannot find an online source for this presently, so I will leave the current edit for the time being. Tmangray 16:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The key difference between the "Diablo" and the Santa Ana is that the true Santa Ana is primarily a drainage wind when cool or even cold air from the high deserts flows downward toward the coast, being mainly channeled through canyons like a river flow.  This cannot happen in Northern California because the Sierras block surface air from the high deserts.  Our version of offshore winds actually come from the upper atmosphere, and as they descend, they are first noted not in canyons, but on the higher peaks such as Mount Diablo.  Once they descend further, they can be enhanced by channeling in coastal canyons, but they are often just as strong or even stronger along the ridgelines.

message: Okay, we have a source suggesting that in 1923, 'Santa Ana wind' was the one and only term in use.

Talk:Dipterostemon

message: Please find a reference for this. It is a not-uncommon misspelling of Brodiaea, but Wikipedia is not a repository for unsourced misspellings. Unless a reference says that the common name is spelled that way, it should be removed.--Curtis Clark (talk) 13:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This was the common name I learned for Blue Dicks in Arizona, +/- 30 years ago. It's the Anglicization of the Latin Brodiaea (pronunciation the same) , and I'm pretty sure it is (or was) listed as such in the SW Parks booklet Flowers of the SW Deserts. Unfortunately my copy of same is in Arizona (I'm in NM for summer), but I'll try to look at the Library copy next time I'm there. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 17:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Please look at the cited doc again. He lists genus first, then common name, consistently. I'm not sure why you continue to maintain that Brodeia is a misspelling, but it's getting tiresome. --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Heh, it just so happens that I found one in a used bookstore recently - and p. 98 lists "purplehead brodiea" as a common name, with Brodiaea pulchella as the Latin. No comment on the differing spelling, but it's in the index in the same way. I note that Parsons' wildflowers book from 1907 uses Brodiaea - with ligature - throughout, so I'm guessing "Brodiea" postdates the demise of Latin from school curricula... :-) Stan (talk) 20:41, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looked at a old ed of Flowers of the SW Deserts at library yesterday-- they gave one common name as "Brodiaea".

Talk:Dog Town, California

message: 67.174.43.244 added the following, concerning the origin of Dogtown's name:
Dogtown recieved it's name due to an eccentric woman who lived there and bred dogs. Miners and such who lost a loved one would often buy a dog from the lady who ran the kennels. Rumors persist about alleged sexual affairs between the lady who owned Dogtown and her pets.
I've moved it off the main article to the talk page.  It's nothing I've ever seen alleged in any of the research I did on Dogtown.  It's hard to see breeding dogs under conditions such as Dogtown was exposed to, being both exposed to the elements, short of building material and a long ways from adequate food sources.  It also conflicts with the one claim I had encountered, namely that Dogtown is a term applied to most any hastily-improvised mining town.  Most towns either grow out of it or disappear.  At any rate, if we can come up with a reasonable reference we can make use of it, but this claim strains credibility as-is.
