Talk:Yokuts Valley, California

message: The "Name" section could be a small subcategory under History, or at least be more concise.
For the new name change, see: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-department-completes-vote-remove-derogatory-names-five-locations and https://geonarrative.usgs.gov/names_taskforce/ CityLightsAndMaps (talk) 21:51, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Some settlements have a separate heading for their names, but it is usually called "Etymology" instead of "Name". RobotGoggles (talk) 05:02, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Put Name as a subcategory under History 

message: FYI, I moved this page from Yokuts Valley to Yokuts Valley, California. Even though there's only one notable Yokuts Valley in the whole wide world, the convention for U.S. geographical articles is to include the state in the article title, regardless of whether the name is unique, making exceptions for only a handful of major cities. This isn't an arbitrary guideline; it's based on a very strong written convention in American English. Minh Nguyễn 💬 19:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: Squaw Valley has not changed it's name to Yokuts Valley.  This issue is still in dispute with the local authorities.  Please remove Yokuts Valley from this article.  You can confirm this with the office of Nathan Magsig in Fresno Ca. 96.67.217.74 (talk) 17:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The recent state law went further than the USBGN decisions around natural features, also directing counties to stop calling places by the old names and Caltrans to change road signs about them. But it is awkward that this article is about both the community and the CDP, which might have different names for the time being. Maybe the infobox, which is purely about the CDP, should be different than the article title?  Minh Nguyễn 💬 20:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

text: @Crescent77: As noted above, the community's name change is official with respect to federal agencies as of last month. The only reason I would hedge about the CDP is that the Census Bureau updates its demographic estimates and Boundary and Annexation Survey maps on a schedule, and this decision missed this year's maps by a month. Under the provisions in AB 2022, the CACGN was required to coordinate with other government agencies on getting signs and maps updated within 90 days of having approved the new name (which actually happened last March). However, you're right that Supervisor Magsig's office won't be legally prohibited from calling it by the old name until January 2025. Minh Nguyễn 💬 07:02, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect information 

message: As for encyclopedic accuracy, some please tell Encyclopaedia Britannica's fact checkers that they still managed to mix up the Fresno and Placer county communities even after the name changes:
🤦‍♂️
