Talk:Vernon, California

message: :Image:Seal vernon ca.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Is there anyone out there knowledgeable enough to bring this article up to date? There seems to be nothing in it after October 2006, and it's like watching a TV show, being left with a cliffhanger, and wondering when the next season starts!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.154.153 (talk) 08:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The "city" of Vernon, ably described a few years back by L.A. County native Matt Welch, is California's Liechtenstein, a de facto grand duchy with a token population and multiple generations of single-family control.
*BTW, I swapped in a picture of a general who fought at La Mesa to replace the painting of the battle at Veracruz.   Will Beback  talk   07:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update? 

message: The article suffers from "recentism" and has grown in a poorly organized fashion. 
:1 City status 
:1.1 Disincorporation legislation
:2 History
:3 Recent history 
:3.1 Elections of 2006
:4 Corruption charges
:5 Corruption and disincorporation campaign 
:5.1 Corruption allegations
As I see it, pretty much all of this material should be under "history", and should be arranged in chronological order. Also, some re-balancing may be needed to make sure that issues of only passing interest are not given excessive attention. Any other thoughts?   Will Beback  talk   17:07, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

message: In the demographics section, there are two contradictory and very different figures: in the body text it suggests that according to the Census, the city is 90-something percent white, including 52-percent non-hispanic white. In a table immediately below, it lists the city as among the most heavily latino in the state, at 91 percent. 
91 percent latino, or 52 percent non-hispanic white? Which is it? Can't be both.jackbrown (talk) 22:11, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The article starts off by saying that Vernon is 5 miles south of downtown LA, but on a map it looks more like 1-3 miles southeast of downtown. I think that was added on 4 March 2011 by DocOfSoc. --Kevinbsmith (talk) 19:53, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Recommend eliminating the section on latino communities to improve the article.  Any percentages of a tiny population of only 112 persons is unimportant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 00:37, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

message: This interesting location deserves an item directing visitors to it via the LRT Blue Line and noting transfer points via bus connections to, say, City Hall. I'm an American writing from my longtime home in Western Europe, but I was instrumental in helping plan the Blue Line, as a supplier of barrier-free ticket-vending machines supplied by a highly qualified Swiss supplier firm. I'm think the Wikipedia should insert this item in keeping with its standard format. If public transit does not serve the city, the item should mention it. 178.197.239.3 (talk) 12:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
