Talk:Sylmar, Los Angeles

message: Okay, Folks, help me out here. Help me understand what's so important about the Pioneer cemetary that we have to give it top billing and place it near the top of this article about Sylmar. Okay, yes, it's a really old cemetary. I get that. But it's not even the oldest in the valley. 
If I don't get some good answers, I'd like to move this down to a suitable spot, or remove it altogether. Let me know if anyone disagrees. Thanks -- tk

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I can't find a cite to confirm, but I think the name comes from a portmanteau of the Latin "sylvan" meaning trees and the Latin "mar" meaning sea; hence "sea of trees"; which makes more sense than the English "silver" and the Latin "mar".  Notice the spelling of silver must be changed and sylvan not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.150.209.21 (talk) 19:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I've re-added Johnny Whitaker as a notable person from Sylmar because he graduated from high school there. I think in the US most of us would consider ourselves "from" a place if that's where we went to school. Alex Mejia is listed as "from" Sylmar because he was born there. Should he be delisted since he didn't live there for whatever arbitrary amount of time is required to be considered "from" a place? No, I don't think so. 
I lived in Sylmar in the same apartment complex as Johnny's sister, Laurie, and they felt they were "from" Sylmar. I realize my anecdote is not a RS. But here's their mother's obituary; note services were in Sylmar in 2014. I'd say that's sufficient to say Johnny's "from" Sylmar in some sense strong enough to list him here.

replies: text: Thank you for discussing this.  I have reverted your edit.  Please take a moment to read Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline#Notable people and Wikipedia:No original research.  If Whitaker lived in Sylmar for a significant period of time, please find a source to support this.  Thank you.  Magnolia677 (talk) 16:31, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

message: An editor has objected to the term "spillway," so I've changed it to "An ornamental channel, or spillway" because the popular press has referred to it as a spillway. I've provided some links to articles using that term, too. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 14:37, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am new to editing on Wikipedia and I noticed an error on the article page about Sylmar. According to the Conservation.ca.gov, Gavin Newsom, the governor of California explained how The 1971 San Fernando Valley earthquake was in the city of Northridge, not Sylmar.

message: Doesn't it seem ridiculous that the population is current as of only the year 2008? Can't we come up with a more recent (and more accurate/up-to-date) population figure for this community? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 20:18, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
