The picture attached to this page is taken from Lone Pine, about 45 minutes south of Big Pine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fordpinto77 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: During WWII the Big Pine High School football team played a game against the Manzanar Relocation Center high school football team.
Several teams in Owens Valley had refused to play against the Manzanar teams.  Big Pine broke with them and went to play a game there.
The OC Register ran an article about the game and the story surrounding it:
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/nakano-269836-manzanar-school.html
I was going to just add it to the external links section but this article doesn't have an external links section and I wasn't sure that this was a valuable enough link to justify the creation of the section for it.
I thought it might be an important enough story that it might be mentioned in the history section of the article, but I thought the principle editors of the article should make that decision.

thread_title:  Removed sections 

message: Anyone else heard of this? Apparently not many people thought much of it till a reporter from the LA Times was passing through town, saw it, and decided to do a story on it. Most of the locals are for the mural. Basically the mural is an image of the area from before the lake was drained, showing it being very lush and green. At the bottom of the mural is a drain, symbolizing LA's taking the water.

In the fifth paragraph, the California Environmental Quality Act is mentioned. The paragraph subsequently states that an Environmental Impact Report “examines the potential environmental impacts of many projects such as toxic waste dumps”. (The quotation marks are the author's.) CEQA does not include the quoted line. The word "dump" does not appear in CEQA at all.

That is not accurate but I cannot find the proof.  I lived and grew up in Oildale from 1944 until 1960.  My folks and other family are still there.  I and they would have known about the KKK marching down Chester Ave. and not one of my family nor friends can come up with an incident of the KKK in Oildale.
Yes, the KKK sympathizers (sp) were there, but they stayed out of site.
If I can find the truth, I will forward it on to you.
In the mean time, the blurb about the KKK should be removed until I can prove or disprove it.

message: This article was an absolute disaster. Between a lack of focus on the topic (the city of Tehachapi, not half of Kern County), a severe lack of references, and an obsessive list of mentions (down to a listing of all of the hotels, bank branches, and churches), this page needed to be put on a severe diet. I cleaned out the worst of the junk, the uncited assertions, the unrelated stuff (radio stations from Los Angeles, weekly newspapers from other towns), and the peacock phrases ("Tehachapi has a four season climate, which can be considered special in California), and the extra "demographics" section; one per article is enough, thank you.

Talk:Hiberno-Latin

message: Hiberno-Latin is also used to refer to the whole body of writing in Latin that originated in Ireland in the Middle Ages. Obviously, since most of it differs in no way from mainstream Medieval Latin, its not of note linguistically. However it certainly is of note as a distinctive literary culture. I've not been able to find a WP article on Medieval Latin Writing from Ireland (does one exist?). In any case, I would think this other use of the term Hiberno-Latin should, at least, be clarified in the article and possible expanded on. Thoughts? ANB (talk) 20:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: “Celtic culture: a historical encyclopedia”, Volume 2, edited by John T. Koch, states, without citation, that there is some evidence supporting the proposition that the "Hisperica Famina", a leading work in Hiberno-Latin, may have been written by a Breton.  This is an intriguing suggestion, as the Bretons were, among early medieval Europeans, peculiarly fond of Hebrew names.  They claimed a partial descent from the Hebrews through Saint James the Major (the St James alleged to be buried at Compostela in Galicia, Spain).  Certainly Brittany was founded in 383 by the Western Roman emperor Magnus Maximus, who was born on Count Theodosius's estate near Compostela; Saint Ambrose declared "the emperor has become a Jew" when Magnus issued an edict in 387 or 388 which censured Christians at Rome for burning down a Jewish synagogue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoetropo (talk • contribs) 03:04, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
