Talk:Bethel Island, California

message: While there's a lot of good information in both articles, it looks like they both have "History" sections covering about the same thing, and the article about the island even has a section about its government (i.e. what one would assume is the wheelhouse of the article baout the city). You kind of hate to see it... { \mathbb{JPG} } 12:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree that there is good content on both pages. The options seem to be re-arranging the content or merging. On balance, I support the merge on the grounds that the distinction between the articles is sufficiently subtle that they are best discussed in one place.

Talk:Byron, California

message: To the editors, could coverage of Byron Hot Springs and Camp Tracy in "Codes and Conspiracies" television series be of assistance?  Within "Secret Prisons Series/Special. 2016, A look at secret jails in the U.S."  Re-aired on AHC channel in May 2020.  Mentions Clark Gable and other celebrities frequenting hotel and spa.  "Intelligence gathered at Camp Tracy was effective", involved Japanese-Americans serving as interpreters and interrogators.  Involved interrogation of Japanese captives.  Includes assertions of what intelligence was gained.  Detainees transferred away in 1945, and ultimately were released back to Japan as part of a general repatrification process (could it be possible to link to coverage of the repatrification, including to identify ships and ships' voyages returning detainees to Japan?).  Camp Tracy was then deactivated.  Ruins still stand...camera pans across abandoned buildings covered with graffiti inside and out. 198.179.62.65 (talk) 16:36, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Rodeo, California

message: I removed the following data as it seemed quite typical of North American census data. There does not seem to be anything remarkable about it to me. Someone else, however, may find the level of detail of some of this data significant. If they restore it, I hope that they would explain why.
:The racial makeup of the CDP was 52.20% White, 16.04% Black or African American, 1.30% Native American, 16.04% Asian, 0.50% Pacific Islander, 7.17% from other races, and 6.76% from two or more races.  17.08% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. There were 2,882 households out of which 38.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 52.9% were married couples living together, 17.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.5% were non-families. 18.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 6.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.  The average household size was 3.00 and the average family size was 3.42. In the CDP the population was spread out with 29.3% under the age of 18, 8.8% from 18 to 24, 27.7% from 25 to 44, 23.9% from 45 to 64, and 10.2% who were 65 years of age or older.  The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 94.1 males.  For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.0 males. The median income for a household in the CDP was $60,522, and the median income for a family was $63,151. Males had a median income of $46,077 versus $32,452 for females.

Talk:Waldon, California

message: This is one of those fascinating bit of political geography.  Waldon doesn't exist by any standard I can find.  The USPS doesn't even recognize it as a valid city.  Goto the zip code lookup, and punch "waldon, ca".  It will return "93283" which isn't for Waldon, but Weldon, CA down by Bakersfield.  If you use the USPS zip code lookup for 1365 Treat Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA (Its the address for Pleasant Hill (BART station) - it will come back with 94597 (Walnut Creek).  If you try waldon instead of WC - it will kick back as invalid.  Another fun fact as its not a city, it doesn't seem to have a website.  It should be: http://www.ci.waldon.ca.us/  (but its not).
The reason why this fascinates me so much is because I currently live in the area classified as "Waldon".  All of my main is address to Walnut Creek, with a WC zip code.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I've seen the signs in the area notifying that it is an Unincorporated section of Contra Costa County.

Talk:Pollock Pines, California

message: The "Pollock Pines receives annual snowfall between 6 inches (150 mm) and 6 feet (1.8 m)" does not correspond to the also posted climate table of 79.3 average per year inches of snow listed. One or the other should be incorrect, probably the sentence without citation. Of course, it could be two separate locations in the same town, as quite possibly Pollock Pines varies 1,000 feet (310 m) or more in elevation within the city boundaries.  This should be researched and stated as such, if this is the case.

replies: text: Looked up on the wiki linked Acme Map page as well as one of the contour maps.  Union Hill seems inside the city limits from the miles associated on the county map, and (tiny red shaded) city limits on the main wiki page.  It is 1316 meters high, or about 330 meters more than the main city center, road to the top, and may well have a lookout/weather station on the height.  And there apparently is a populated southerly arm nearly all at about 1200 meters above sea level.  So maybe either is the secondary location, for the rain into snow change.  Shading of north eastern locations is not pronounced in the city/town limits, and usually this adiabatic cooling release does not normally have enough an averaged effect upon the snowfall within such small elevation change only two miles away on a ridge (as is the case with Pollock Pines). It quite often does significantly change the average snow accumulation average, a statistic which is not listed in the wiki for this page but is for the former Squaw Valley (renamed Palisades Tahoe as of 2020) article entry and for numerous other mountain, heavy snowfall or far northern locations. 93.74.116.48 (talk) 10:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
