Talk:Valley Christian Schools (San Jose, California)

message: I'd like to have included in the article that evolution isn't a part of the curriculum, and that creationism is taught in it's place. I put the request in here because I know that it's a sensitive subject.

Talk:Possession Island (Queensland)

message: Hello all
I have removed a great deal of speculative and controversial material which I don't think has a place in a factual article on Possession Island. There is abundant primary source material which supports the generally accepted view that Cook claimed the East Coast of New Holland for Great Britain at Possession Island on 22 August 1770. Very happy to discuss. --Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 07:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: Withdrawing without prejudice.

message: When did Cook land on Possession Island and claim Eastern Australia for the British Empire? Was it on 21 August or 22 August? I am finding some sources which say the first and others which say the second and I don't know which is more accurate. Mr248 (talk) 04:52, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: 22 August is correct. My understanding is that one needs to adjust for Cook's use of British naval dating and his crossing of the International Date Line. His journals state that the claim of possession took place at 4 pm on 22 August 1770. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 11:09, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Dairy Farming Through the Great Depression
José Alvernaz started Sun Ray Dairy in Los Gatos in 1933 and was a well-respected member of his community.
Years:  1903 — 1993
José Pereira Alvernaz, who was born in 1903, on Faial Island, Azores, arrived in Providence, Rhode Island in 1916 at age 13. After a week with relatives, he set out for California. After working at various jobs, including working at the University of Santa Clara, he was able to buy a dairy in 1933 that became known as Sun Ray Dairy in Los Gatos. The dairy was located in what is now Vasona Lake Park, which includes a man-made lake. The house in which José lived was located on the hill near what is now Hwy 17. The house has been torn down to make way for a new visitors’ center.
Sun Ray Dairy was very successful and grew. José sold his milk, and those who did not have much money were allowed to pay him by bartering with eggs, vegetables, meat, or other products. He took very good care of his customers during those difficult years. One of his customers was Sarah Winchester.
When the stock market crashed and the banks were forced to close, José was doing well -- having $1,000 in the bank and money coming in daily. He was well-respected by the community for providing a great dairy for the town's residents. José was naturalized as an American citizen in 1930.
José was also a member of: The Lions Club, the Luso-American Fraternal Federation (Past President), and he attended Five Wounds Portuguese National Church. He assisted in the building of the church by delivering supplies, and his uncles helped by volunteering their labor. He was also a leading member of the Santa Clara Dairymen's Association. He was the first to purchase a pasteurizing machine for his dairy in Los Gatos. MushroomQueen408 (talk) 01:53, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Vasquez Rocks

message: Devil's Punchbowl has large formations of slanted sedimentary rocks.  The same kinds of formations can be found about 30 - 40 miles west at Vasquez Rocks.  Are they related in some way?  The explanation in the Punchbowl article says how the rocks were formed.  But the huge separation would take a very long time.  Wouldn't sedimentary rocks be worn down in that time?
--Wolfram.Tungsten (talk) 05:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Both of those formations, plus the similar Mormon Rocks at Cajon Pass, lie along the San Andreas Fault on the boundaries of the San Gebriels. As geology goes, these rocks are on a high speed conveyor belt. John McPhee says that the San Gabriels Mountain range is among the fastest-moving mountain ranges in the world. I don't know if the rocks formations were ever connected, or if they just formed under similar circumstances.   Will Beback  talk   07:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ventura Freeway

message: This doesn't explain why it is not considered a freeway. If it were not to be built to Interstate standards, then what would be present along the highway are at-grade junctions, and median crossovers. That is my opinion. Despite the fact that the route is more likely to be a freeway, it may have been inconsistent enough to have be built upon Interstate standards. I do consider the Ventura Freeway built to those standards. 2600:1700:8A32:B530:8561:2B66:1D13:FD67 (talk) 01:33, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a reference about a 2013 project that removed the last cross-over at La Conchita. The article focuses on the bike path improvements and does not specifically address the freeway standards issue. Fettlemap (talk) 03:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

text: The freeway definitely contains portions which do not conform with Interstate standards, such as requiring a shoulder within the center median in both directions, which almost the entirety of the freeway lacks thereof. Fluffy89502 (talk) 22:42, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I thought I read somewhere that almost all of the Greater Los Angeles freeways have an exception for inadequate center median shoulders as the cost of widening in the urban area is so high. The entire Ventura Freeway no longer has signals or at grade crossings that allow left turns off and onto the freeway across traffic. As I mentioned above, the La Conchita project was the last. Future projects will mostly be replacing old bridges or improving the existing which almost always includes some widening. I think it is generally complete and recognized as a limited access freeway but I doubt if it will ever meet a perfect interstate standard. Fettlemap (talk) 22:57, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Ventura Fwy is definitely a freeway now, as it is completely controlled access. Yes, the freeway is not built to Interstate standards but it still is a freeway since it is controlled access, as the definition of “freeway” and the Wikipedia article about freeways states. The sentance is wrong without a doubt, but it would be correct if the word “freeway” was replaced with “Interstate.” (talk) 17:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  US 101 is a part of the United States Numbered Highway System as opposed to the Interstate Highway System, so it does not necessarily have to conform to Interstate standards.  I believe the word substitution is appropriate. Trackinfo (talk) 05:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Vernon Tigers

message: Someone wrote that the team's attendance suffered after Prohibition was imposed: "The small population of Vernon became a liability, as few Angelenos were willing to travel the distance to watch a game in a 'dry' town."

There probably was more to the attendance slip than the distance: Vernon is only two or three miles east of downtown Los Angeles.  The population of Vernon was and is tiny: it is an all-industrial city with only a few dozen housing units. But, it was and is close to the heart of a major city.
