Talk:Avalon, California

message: This page is redirected to from Avalon Bay (REIT) Page. That page described the apartment AvalonBay Communities, Inc., an equity REIT. Many Wikipedia pages link to that page, but are now redirected to this "Avalon, CA" page. This is very wrong. Instead Avalon Bay needs to continue to resolve to the REIT page (which I can no longer find) so that all the links are not broken. If it is desired to change that, then at least first change the Wikipedia Pages that link to Avalon Bay, intending to link to the REIT, link to Avalon Bay Communities page (REIT).

message: Thanks for uploading :File:Avlaon Harbor.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  Optigan13 (talk) 06:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Another editor has pointed out that :File:Avlaon Harbor.jpg, an archive image used here, was apparently scanned in reverse -- or so they think. Can another active editor confirm the reversal? The original image looks right to me. See File history at the image. Thanks in advance, Pete Tillman (talk) 02:03, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Done & settled. Present version should be right. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 04:16, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, but it looks like we may not be able to use this image due to copyright issues (see Optigan13's comment above in  "WikiProject California Suggestions") We might be able to use it if we add a culture section that discusses the plein air festival held on the island every year. Let me know if this is something that you want me to pursue, or if you want to write one yourself.--mcd51 (talk) 00:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reversed image? 

message: I searched all over, but couldn't find any reliable sources for the following statement:
* The Bannings also improved the standard of Avalon's beach by erecting a sea-wall and adding "spoonholders" or covered benches, building a bath house. For additional habitation, the Bannings erected close to one hundred tents throughout Avalon's canyon (often called "tent cities"). These tents were created so that if the expense of a hotel was too much, a visitor could rent out a tent for the bargain price of $7.50 per week. To this day, many homes in Avalon are still in possession of the same tents that stood in that spot over a century ago.
Feel free to add it back in if you can source it.mcd51 (talk) 16:51, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The climate graph for Avalon, CA, now has a record high of 116 degrees on July 6, 2018 - which would be a full 12 degrees higher than the previous record high. A quick search of the link to that figure does not show that number at all, and a search of the Weather Almanac shows the (truly record high) temperature that day reached 105.1. So July 6, 2018, did record an all time high - but someone decided to add another 11 degrees with no scientific basis or links.
