Criteria for inclusion

Hi. Does anyone know what the criteria for inclusion here is? I ask because I noticed that the single &Run has the Wikiproject California template, but they don't seem to be associated with California in anyway what-so-ever. At least it's not clear in the article how they are associated with the state. It's possible the music video was shot in Los Angeles, but then it doesn't seem to be notable for that if it was. So anyway, does essentially anything even slightly related to California qualify for Wikiproject California, even if the connection isn't notable or mentioned in the article, or is there some other criteria? Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 11:16, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Maybe it's because the band Sir Sly is formed and based in Orange County. I don't think it should be included. The single is not directly associated with California in any way. 94rain ^Talk 06:29, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but... I'm looking for an experienced Wikipedia editor that I can collaborate with for either Bart's Books or Morgan Hill, California. I want to bring one of these articles to GA status. Reply on my talk page if you're interested. Thanks, TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 16:43, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Help with new Infillion services section

Hello, I'm an employee of the Los Angeles-based media and advertising company Infillion. I've had an edit request waiting on the article's Talk page for the past month or so, and was wondering if anybody here would be interested in reviewing it. The request pertains to a new Location and out-of-home advertising section I'm proposing, which I think would improve the article by describing the company's relatively recent expansion into those two sectors. This link will take you to my request, which contains the full text of the draft and all its references. Thank you in advance to anyone who bothers to take a look.. Cheers, CM with Infillion (talk) 16:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Long term project for Climate of California

Howdy y'all. Over the last year, I have worked on List of California tornadoes, which I intend to nominate for featured list status sooner or later, although the older coverage (pre-1950) might not be the best. There is also the List of California hurricanes, which I intend to work on to keep at featured list status. The entire topic currently looks like this:

Climate of California

7 articles

Climate change

Droughts

Floods

Hurricanes

Tornadoes

Wildfires

I don't think it's too big a project to imagine all of these articles as featured lists or featured articles. The information is out there. I don't think I can do it all on my own, but maybe there's someone out there who might be interested. Please reach out to me if you are. Thanks. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I changed the icon for List of California tornadoes due to the ongoing FLC. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:17, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
