Talk:Davis, California

message: I think I will start a "notable natives" section of the article sometime soon.  This will include Kim Stanley Robinson (cf discussion above), some other writers, and people like Paul Moller of Moller Skycar fame/infamy.  One problem is determining who is "notable"; after all, Sean Stewart, despite having made it into Wikipedia, is probably not as well-known as many UC Davis professors.  Others are welcome to beat me to this edit :-) --C S 22:37, July 9, 2005 (UTC)

I can't verify (although I didn't really check that hard) that all the people currently listed as a notable native actually live in Davis.  For example, the astronaut Stephen Robinson's bio doesn't list anything about him living in Davis.  And if my recollection is correct, astronauts all live in certain neighborhoods near the launch site in Cape Canaveral anyway! --C S 06:24, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

message: According to another website about Davis, the movie Phenomenon was filmed in Davis.  Can anyone confirm this?  I haven't found that anywhere else. --Phoenix Hacker 05:03, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

message: Why isn't there more in the page about bicycling? I am disappointed, because I think that bicycles are one of the things that really makes Davis different from any other University town.TrogdorPolitiks 19:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The Asian population is much larger than mentioned here.  I added up the figures from http://www.city-data.com/city/Davis-California.html
I got 17.5 percent for all the Asian groups, 8 percent for Chinese alone.  When I added the 17.5 for Asians with the other figures given I got pretty close to 100 percent.
As this is way off, it should be corrected.

thread_title:  What an excellent article! 

message: Ok, so someone put him in the "Notable Davisites" section which I just removed. He isn't really notable for mention on wikipedia--Davis wiki sure, but not here. He's a great teacher and a cool guy but neither he nor his band meet notability standards as far as I can tell. I was even looking online a week or two ago for info on him because I was considering adding him myself. But there just isn't enough info out there.

message: I am thinking of deleting the section now called "railroads."  Previously, it included such un-encyclopedic information as the actual schedules for certain trains.  I removed that, but basically what's left is a statement that Davis has a train station, which strikes me as unworthy.  But if anyone wants to comment, I'm all ears.  Thanks.

message: Should Louis Warren be added to Notable Natives?  He has a book published, Buffalo Bill's America, that just won the Beveridge Award, a Western Writers of America Spur Award, a Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize, and a Caughey Western History Association Prize.--The Great Honker 18:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added Alan Taylor, he's certainly notable enough as compared to the others listed.  I also alphabetized the list.  I think Louis Warren also should be notable enough, though he currently doesn't have a page of his own.  If someone who has the inclination to do so wants to find enough information to create one, I would think that would be a good addition. —Krellis 03:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: what happened to it? Well... I took out both links that were there. "davis people" is not a good title or topic (this isn't the daviswiki); and see also links should only be to other wikipedia pages -- so I took out the link to the daviswiki bike loop page. There's already a general link to the daviswiki; good enough. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 07:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does Davis Enterprise redirect to the Davis, California page??? There not nearly enough info here in this article about the newspaper to warrant the redirect. And by the way, do you think its about time to archive the discussion page? Killiondude (talk) 05:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Davis Enterprise redirect

message: I changed the source (and consequently the population estimate) in the lead because city articles are only supposed to use US Census numbers for population figures per WP:USCITY. I also changed the current population later in the article to reflect that.
Per WP:LINKSTOAVOID I'm inclined to think that the links in the article to the Davis wiki shouldn't be included. It doesn't say anything in MOS:LINKS about linking to other wikis, but I have yet to see another article that has done so (outside of the External Links section). I have left the outside wiki links intact in this article (for now) until maybe I get clarification. Of course, everything is open to discussion here. Killiondude (talk) 08:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

message: As of 6/22/2021, there are multiple mentions of "Erik Fredericksen" on the Davis, CA page. The first sentence read "Davis, home of Erik Fredericksen,...". He is listed falsely as mayor. Under neighborhoods, I am seeing "South Davis (Erik's hood)". Under History, we have "From its inception as a farming community, Davis is known primarily for Erik Fredricksen...". This is obviously some jokester, so I am cleaning these things up. ALso some vandalism in the notable resident section. I am Ferdinand von Aegir (talk) 17:55, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleaning up the "Erik Frederiksen" Mentions and Misinformation 

message: I don't want to add it myself because 1. I know the guy personally (we did Davis High theatre stuff together) and 2. I saw the old conversation above regarding natives vs. long time residents and understand he may not qualify for the list, especially since he doesn't reside there anymore.  All of that said Cole Stratton is a notable person.  He wasn't born there but mostly grew up there.  So I figured it was worth suggesting to more active editors who are more familiar with this kind of thing.  I'm good either way y'all decide.  Cheers. Millahnna (talk) 18:43, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
