Talk:Castro Valley, California

message: The sentence on Castro Valley's high concentration of fast food restaurants seems to be too much of an urban legend/myth to be included in a Wikipedia article. Absent anything to substantiate the claim, I think the sentence should be removed. Any objections? - Walkiped 21:27, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the following sentence for the reasons above: It is believed (though unsubstantiated) that Castro Valley has the highest concentration of fast food restaurants in an arbitrarily large geographical area. - Walkiped 08:02, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, in about one square mile there exist 2 McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Subway, Togo's, KFC, Taco Bell, and Jack in the Box. (There's also three Starbucks, but that's another story.) While there's no real proof (it's claimed that this is in the Guiness Book of World Records), I think it's a pretty pervasive meme among the population. But you're right; it doesn't belong in a Wikipedia article. - mako 11:41, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I note that article is inaccurate also. I did write some information on the talk page. But as I said it is a real problem. In addition, I am reading The Costanoan/Ohlone Indians of The San Francisco and Monterey Bay Area.  (pbk.) (c)1997 by Lauren Teixeira. She notes the errors also. I also note the constant errors of Spanish translation and Anglosization of the words. It makes research very difficult. I read and speak Spanish. meatclerk 07:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :Lee received a 97% progressive rating from a self-described non-partisan group that provides a "searchable database of Congressional voting records from a Progressive perspective", and a 13% conservative rating from a conservative group.
I moved this section to the talk page. The nature of Barbara Lee's record should be included in her article not in the CV article.imars (talk) 11:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

message: There seems to be an edit war between two IP users 76.222.95.131 and 71.202.78.255. Would you two like to discuss the issue instead of reverting each other?imars (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that adding these two to the list is unwarranted. My guess is that the wiki article on Darren Brazil would fail a challenge of notability. Just because TV is TV does not make everyone who works in that industry notable.--Fizbin (talk) 20:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree to a certain extent. According to the article, the one brother has won three local Emmy awards in the last two years. I would consider that notable, but the links to the Emmys are dead. imars (talk) 07:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brazil brothers notable or not? 

message: Shall we have a discussion about the notable residents section? I think it is sensible to have, but we should establish who is notable and who is not. For that we can certainly fall back on WP:NOTABILITY
  
imars (talk) 09:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Notable residents is part of the U.S. City template. See WP:USCITY. As for the standard of notability, one should be able to cite some mainstream media indicating the a) the person is notable and b) that the person is from or lives in Castro Valley. That said, I am not a huge fan of the notable resident heading, because people misuse it, but I do feel it has its place.   imars (talk) 21:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it is a poor idea, but unless others join me in this, I won't try to remove it.--Ccady (talk) 13:35, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Mention of Interstate 238 has gotta be a mistake, because there's no such highway in this area. However there IS a California state highway 238 in this area. Could that be a valid correction to the text?  198.144.192.45 (talk) 14:31, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Interstate 238 is correct according to the wiki article Interstate_238.Tonywiki09 (talk) 07:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
