Talk:San Gabriel Valley

message: The end of the timeline says White Flight is from 1980s to present day. What proof is there that there is still White flight in the area? I believe whites are now moving because housing is cheaper further east outside San Gabriel Valley, then becuase whites are moving becuase the area is getting non-white, which was the case in the past, but not really now. The area has been mostly hispanic and asian for years now, I know I live in La Puente, in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. What signifies the end of this so called "White flight"? -- AlexTheMartian | Talk 02:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed "Present" to 1990s, according tho what is said at the top of the People section of the article. I also believe the White flight movement in the San Gabriel Valley diminished durring the late 1990s. -- AlexTheMartian | Talk 02:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: South Pasadena is really attractive to white homebuyers, the suburban community is home to many African-Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanics...a testiment to the diversity of the valley and Los Angeles area. The southwest part of Pasadena was gentrified over the last two decades, used to have a largely Black community after the displacement of the Japanese during WWII. The number of minorities in Pasadena and surrounding areas remain lower than most of the San Gabriel valley including Covina which is home to South Asians, but there's a large Armenian community in the valley (included in European-Americans). The number of Hispanics in La Puente are close to 90 percent in the 2010 Census report, then I suppose the returning of whites (non-Hispanics or Anglos) in the valley may reverse the trend. 71.102.12.48 (talk) 19:17, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Removed, from the bullshit paragraph "Walmartization" the following "Due to wide spread public opposition" due to POV and it being blatantly bullshit. Please resubmit with reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.157.32 (talk) 16:37, 7 April 2007
:The mere inclusion of any reference, positive or negative, is POV. There six Mervyn's stores in the same geo. region and fourteen Walgreen's drugstores. So what? Walmart is neither a company located within the SGV nor possessed of any especial importance in the areas history or development. I am removing the reference.

message: At the head of the Talk page are several posts by someone who identifies him/herself as S and who claims authorship of much of this article.
a) S clearly is not an experienced Wikipedian - not of itself any particular kind of failing - but creating or substantially altering an article here without either regard for the processes or conventions of this site is at least ill-advised and at worst an outright affront to those who do.
b) S includes not a single source, which accounts for both the outright ignorance and blatant POV of large sections of this article. And speaking of arrogant and offensive remarks - S accounts for said sourceless writing by asserting "the short attention spans of many people." Such a comment in and of itself ought to be grounds for an editing ban and deletion of this article - but Wiki is more tolerant than I would be.
S admits that s/he is not a resident of SGV and asserts that the content of this article results from a university paper, some driving visits, and conversations with unnamed local officials. As a college teacher for 36 years in the SGV - and a resident of SGV (Monterey Park and Alhambra, to be exact) during most of that time - I can only say that I hope S's paper failed, or at least was returned with the charge of doing a more thorough and accurate job.
I have considered nominating this as WP:AFD - it's that bad. But the more common Wiki course is to work to improve the article - in this case, a genuinely Herculean job. Hence...the single step above of removing a small bit of utterly irrelevant information.
Assuredly more to come. Sensei48 (talk) 23:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems somewhat unhelpful that there isn't a clear map of the region on the page. Does anybody think they could take the Wikimedia map of LA County and highlight the San Gabriel Valley area?--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 23:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
