Talk:Sedona, Arizona

message: Declared in the article as sandstone unique to the area - I was informed by a knowlegable guide that it is Redwall Limestone, which is also found in lower portions of the Grand Canyon. Is there a geologist out there? - Leonard G. 03:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bell Rock

message: I just visited Sedona for the first time.  While being stunned by the geology and scenery, I was also saddened by the degree to which the developed town has sprawled over what seems to be nearly every flat surface at the foot of the beautiful red cliffs.   Surely the aesthetic damage done by suburban style houses and expensive resorts ought to be part of any responsible discussion of the town and region of Sedona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melampous (talk • contribs) 22:10, December 25, 2006

thread_title: Overdevelopment

message: The issue with the Sedona development is an increasing one. However, without the development of resorts, hotels, roads and such, tourist would crowd the town. Most of the developments that have been made around Sedona are to benefit the locals. The locals need the roads and the expansion because of the rapid increase in tourist traffic. This is a natural increase that can't be stopped. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.164.196.100 (talk) 20:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To say you can't stop development is silly.  Communities can do lots of stuff with zoning and other laws to constrain or guide development.  Look at North Royalton, OH as an example.  They decided they'd rather preserve the unique rural character of their community rather than grow with faceless subdivisions like their neighbors in Strongsville, OH.  Look at an aerial photograph to see the difference.  Cazort (talk) 01:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Editor Mjtrayner believes that a cross-reference to the Kia Sedona automobile is a "Kia Motors (car company) advertisment which has absolutely nothing to do with Sedona AZ"  
The cross-reference is here because the main entry for this model is the Kia Carnival, its name outside the USA & Canada. Not even remotely an advertisement. I've restored the link. Pete Tillman 20:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is this even enumerated?
A million freakin' celebrities have been to Cleveland.
The Cleveland, Ohio page doesn't have a list of celebrities
who have visited it.  Why is this important?
Sure, ones who have lived here -maybe- but pretty
much every other city only has people who were born or
raised there.  I'm gonna go add to the Denver, CO 
page now that Bernie Kosar visited the city several
times in the 1980s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.49.157.67 (talk) 19:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree. I have removed the irrelevant celebrity 'visitors'. I have also trimmed the other irrelevant information and non notables per Wikipedia:Famous Residents and to keep them in line with these sections in other articles. People can click the names and read if they want more information but when these people were born and what they did is not relevant to the subject of this article itself.

thread_title:  Sedona at sunset 

message: As per WP:Famous Residents I've removed the Notable Residents sections. Of the people listed, all failed to meet the Famous Residents policy criteria. Specifically:
"The person must be or must have been a true resident of the location itself; not a seasonal resident; not a resident of a nearby locale or community. Such residence must be verifiable through cited, reliable sources."
and 
"The person's notability must derive from the location OR the person must have derived the basis for their notability in that location OR the person must hold some significance to the location in general."
I'm certainly willing to entertain a discussion, but I thought I'd give WP:Be bold a shot.  :) Cory Donnelly (talk) 13:59, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope. WP:Famous Residents isn't policy -- it's just an essay. That said, the list could use trimming. But it's silly to require " true residence" (whatever that means) in a resort town. -- Pete Tillman (talk) 02:42, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: , As I stated on your talk page,  I reverted your change at Sedona, Arizona, as it does not meet Wikipedia requirements. Specifically, all wording must be in a neutral tone, without adding words of praise or other value-laden wording. More importantly, Wikipedia is not a travel guide; descriptions of activities and sights are to be sharply limited. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 18:08, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
Yes, there are a lot of specific dates, information and sources on the Sedona, Arizona discussion.Each section is broken up into small parts and cited.

thread_title:  Sedona  

message: This term (with quotes) is mentioned twice in one of the picture captions (the one for the File:Vortex panoramicview sedona.jpg) but there is no other use of the term in the article that I could find. It should either be in the article , or removed from the caption, I think. (the caption seems taken verbatim or close to it from the caption on the image, and there is mention of "vortices" in the cultural section of the article but it all seems not very well hung together to me) ++Lar: t/c 17:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

message: The area of Sedona, Arizona, is listed one way in the body of the article and another in the header of the article. There is currently a discrepancy of about 1 square mile between the two, but seeing as how the article's body cites the U.S. Census Bureau with its information, it is especially confusing that the area is listed differently at the top of the article. It seems very ambiguous where the header got its area measurement from. 24.56.243.156 (talk) 20:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
