Talk:Point Arguello Light

message: What does it mean "square cylindrical" in the description of the tower in the first line of the second paragraph?
Wjl2 (talk) 22:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Square cylindrical

message: I'd like to propose that the current Point Arguello Light is not a lighthouse at all, and is simply a modern navigational aid. The basis for this is it A) no longer has any type of living quarters and B) it lacks any appearance of what lighthouse has come to mean in modern parlance. The title of the page demonstrates this concept succinctly, omitting the term. I think it's fine to leave it in all current categories since the article is most valuable for the historic light, and it's still a navigational aid as mentioned. Since I'm not an expert on the definition of lighthouse I wanted to leave this proposal up for debate for some time prior to me editing the article, removing any reference to the term lighthouse in connection with the modern structure. The first edit would begin at the first sentence, changing it to read, "Point Arguello Lighthouse **was** a lighthouse on Point Arguello..." Sudopeople (talk) 19:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Point Bonita Lighthouse

message: I find it hard to believe the comment about the suspension bridge being a replica of the Golden Gate bridge, considering that the lighthouse was moved to its current rocky location in 1877, and the Golden Gate was not opened until 1937. That said, this factoid is published on the Coast Guard's list of California light houses that they still maintain, but I still don't buy it. Just wanted to stick this in here! Omehegan (talk) 05:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If I remember my 6th grade Science Camp trip correctly (where Point Bonita was one of the places we visited), I think the "Golden Gate" bridge was a replacement for the original lighthouse bridge, built (obviously) sometime after the real Golden Gate Bridge was built. Perhaps sometime in the 50s or 60s? I don't remember when, but I do recall our guide saying the original bridge was damaged and had to be replaced by the "newer" ones.

Talk:Port of Oakland

message: On first inspection, this article seems to have a good foundation, but could be improved by adding some further information, particularly in the Oakland International Airport section. Additionally, creating some new sections (such as political or environmental effects/implications) to complement the Early and Recent History sections could help to round out the page and generate a more complete article.
In terms of the existing citations, the quality of the sources seems to be fairly strong. However, there are numerous instances where citations seem to be missing, meaning that there is a substantial amount of information on the page that is in no way cited.
The article has a pretty consistently neutral tone, although I suspect that stems from the fact that the History sections comprise the large majority of the article. Nevertheless, the objective tone is a good thing. Currently, it is slightly difficult to say whether certain viewpoints are over or underrepresented since the article is still quite basic in terms of its level of depth and detail, but that is something to think about as the article expands.
Going forward, a couple of things to consider: what are the next essential steps to take (what should be added or included) in order to a provide content-rich, yet concise, document? And how might information be added in a measured and objective manner in order to create a more intensive, yet balanced, article? Jsdiven (talk) 22:35, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Category or list?

message: I am about to clear this article and set it as a redirect to California#Protected areas. As it stands, this article doesn't come close to comprehensively dealing with the subject of its title, and is rather simply a list of California state parks. And as that, it duplicates List of California state parks, an article which has been kept up-to-date better than this one.
I see great value in an article of the title Protected areas of California if:
:* it offers discussion/analysis and a statewide view, rather than simply being a list
:* it is comprehensive of all types of protected areas in the state, and not just state parks
I would invite someone with a more in-depth understanding of the topic than me to tackle that project.
I do understand that List of California state parks is simply alphabetical, whereas some attempt has been made to introduce categorization in this article - an attempt that may be worthy. But if that is done, it needs a title more apropos to the article, and it needs to be kept up-to-date.
I've copied some of the text, categories, see-also's, and such to California#Protected areas and List of California state parks, so that nothing is lost by clearing info off this article.

message: This institution has been included in :Category:Western Association of Schools and Colleges. As stated on WASC's website, the current accreditation status of PCC is 'Candidate'. The legend to the WASC Directory states that 'Candidate for Accreditation is a status of preliminary affiliation with the Commission, awarded to institutions for a limited period following a specified procedure for institutional self-study and on-site evaluation. Candidacy is subject to renewal. Candidacy is not accreditation and does not assure eventual accreditation.'
As such, PCC cannot be considered accredited by WASC.
