February 2020

Information icon Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Fatima. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
    • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. TJRC (talk) 06:40, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Lead edits

Hi, There is a difference between a place being notable because it is, say, the wealthiest zip code or has a lot of important people living there, and thus needing a statement like that in the lead, and someone putting it there to promote their city. You'd be surprised how far people are willing to go to inflate the "prestige" of their city. A lot may hinge on a Wikipedia lead. It was my subjective assessment based on a lifetime of familiarity with the geography of the area that someone put that in the lead in order to make that city look prestigious. Honestly, only a few cities in the Bay Area should have a statement like that in the lead. You mentioned Saratoga and Atherton. Absolutely it's appropriate in those leads. But Morgan Hill is a commuter town for professionals. It's really tacky to have it in the lead. It's fine if it's in the body, in my opinion.

Sometimes provincial perspectives like mine are helpful, sometimes they're not. If you insist on having the last word lest we have an edit war, so be it. I think you're defending a really bad feature of that article. I'm not going to fight you on this, to show how I don't have a bone to pick here. I urge you to reconsider, however.ChumashScholar (talk) 05:11, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Images on the Palo Alto page

The images you have added to the infobox in the article for Palo Alto are both from contemporary development projects. These should not be prioritized over historical and genuine city landmarks like the art center and Ramona Street Architectural District (which has been added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places for its historic value). Furthermore, the images of "Palo Alto Circle" appear to be uploaded by a user with a COI affiliation with Joseph Bellomo Architects and should be avoided in favor of those that lack a promotional intent. Please refrain from adding these images back to the article.Filetime (talk) 21:46, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Solicitud de ayuda para crear un artículo

Hola colega: Te escribo en idioma español porque tu página de usuario dice que dominas este idioma, así que espero que puedas entender lo que escribo. Soy un usuario que edita fundamentalmente artículos ya existentes en wikipedia en español y wikipedia en inglés con la intención de mejorarlos. Pero ahora tengo un problema: Estoy interesado en crear un artículo en Wikipedia en inglés con la biografía de un Presentador de Televisión llamado "Mauricio Lomonte". Pero (por lo que yo sé) para crear un artículo en Wikipedia es necesario hacerlo desde una computadora PC, y yo vivo en un país donde es muy difícil tener acceso a una computadora con Internet, solo dispongo de un teléfono móvil. Por eso solicito, por favor, tu ayuda. Quisiera saber si yo pudiera hacerte llegar a ti a través de alguna dirección de correo electrónico (email) el contenido destinado a aparecer en el artículo que quiero crear para que tu lo publiques por mí en Wikipedia en inglés. Si pudieras responderme, te lo agradeceré mucho. De antemano, muchas gracias. Aziyade Gil (talk) 05:43, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Kaiser San Jose Medical Center moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kaiser San Jose Medical Center, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Request to review Draft article about Jonathan Kaplan

Hi, My user name is TalforJonKaplan and I am a declared COI editor. On April 26, 2021 I posted a draft article for Jonathan Kaplan. It has already been declined from promotion to main space for having been written with some promotional language, which I have since removed. I am kindly requesting, due to your interest in Cisco, to please review the draft. I believe it is well-sourced, establishing Kaplan's notability, and now with the edits I just made, is NPOV. I hope you agree and can admit the draft to main space. If not, I hope you can please guide me as to what I can do to get the draft worthy of Wikipedia main space. Thank you so much.

Almaden Valley Edits

Hi Cristiano, Thank you for your reply and for adding back my parks list, appreciate the faith. I believe the parks in Almaden are worth having there as the neighborhood is well known for them and IMHO our readers will appreciate the information, but point taken and I will keep WP:Not a directory in mind before adding content. I am looking forward to meaningfully contributing further to the page and bringing it on par with other Bay Area neighborhood pages. Btw, I also noticed the other great updates you made on the page today, thanks for all that you do. I will communicate with you via your talk page if I have questions etc. Thanks, Yogesh (talk)

Challenger school in Almaden

@Cristiano Tomás: Thanks for your latest updates on the Almaden Valley page. I see you removed names of high schools that are not located in Almaden from the Education section, although quite a few kids in Almaden go to those schools e.g Los Gatos High. Having said that, I do see the point. Just curious then though why did we remove Challenger from the private school list? That is definitely in Almaden. Does not having a wiki page (like the Challenger school does not) disqualify them from having a mention, as per Wikipedia guideline? Not having a wiki page does not change the fact that they are indeed a school based in Almaden :)
@Yogeshgs: Generally, I would say only schools with articles as notable enough to list on a neighborhood's page, unless the school is highly notable with sources to back that up. Challenger as a private school system is definitely notable enough to have its own article, if you would like to work on that. Then it could be linked on the pages of all the places with Challengers schools. But otherwise, there need to be articles and sources to back up the specific notability of the Challenger Almaden Schoool, as simply existing is not notable enough for inclusion on a wikipedia article. Hope that helps clear things up. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:13, 14 July 2021 (UTC) (p.s. always sign your messages on wikipedia with four consecutive ~ ; see Wikipedia:Signatures for more)

Final review and comments on Almaden sandbox

@Cristiano Tomás: Thank you for your final review, edits and comments on the edits on the Almaden sandbox page. Agree with mostly all your edits and the reasoning thereof. I am still unsure of the removal of Bus and Trail sub-sections in the Transportation section, but will follow your guidance there. I will go ahead and publish the draft on the live page by tomorrow. Thanks!

Almaden edits, thanks for your feedback

@cristiano_tomas Thank you so much for your review and changes. Love your changes, and how you have made it more concise and easier to read and digest. I have learned quite a few things by just seeing the way you made the changes. I have updated the Sandbox page with most of your changes. I did some modifications/kept a few things which I am summarizing here. Please let me know if these seem ok.

  • Overview - IMHO, I think a very brief introduction of what Almaden is known for would be useful. Just a couple of lines to highlight its main identity mentioning its history, outdoors, economy would be a good summary. I added a couple of line on what its known which, I believe, is an important part of its identity and hence earn a place in the intro paragraph to give the users a snapshot of the key highlights (I have been conscious about not adding superflous or irrelevant words, as you advised).
  • History - I would like to have one starter line, which I have added, before jumping into New Almaden as people who are reading it for the first time and not familiar with Almaden, will not understand the relation of “Nueva Almaden” to Almaden
  • Post-conquest Era - really like what you have done here consolidating the different history sections I had. I only added a line in the end on what is there today in place of the quarry (removed my earlier superfluous words such as “upscale”)
  • Parks and Trails - like your cleanup in the Trails section. I added back the reference to the Bay Ridge Trail. It's a project that trail users are super excited about and its important, I think, to communicate that Almaden trails are going to be a part of it, with the relevant citation.
  • Economy - I added the details of the key breakthroughs that the IBM Almaden Research Center has done. Discoveries such as Photo Resist and Quantum Mirage were not just for IBM, and are used and relevant in the electronics and computing industry overall. I do think that retail trade is a key part of the economy of any area. The ones in Almaden are thriving but if you feel strongly I can keep it out of this section. I have not added it for now.
  • Schools - Thanks for making this one much more readable and concise. Of the parts you removed, the only thing I would like to keep is the rankings info on high schools. These are rankings given based on data and are used extensively by families, I believe they are super relevant. Many other Bay Area wiki pages use data from them as well in their Schools section. Also, you removed Challenger (a known private school chain in the bay area) because they don’t have a wiki page. Anyway, I have not added it back but the fact is the school is there (although it does not have a wikipedia page). Are we sure we don’t want to have it there?
  • Library - Do we not need the Library section? Pretty much all other pages have Library info on there and its a key hub of every neighborhood and community.
  • Culture - thanks again, this one I might have gone a bit overboard earlier :) I have now only kept references to the sports organizations (most of these are non-profits and have had a big impact on the Bay Area sports scene really) and added few more sporting events to the list. I have also added one line on shopping and dining options for entertainment as there is no mention of them elsewhere on the page.
  • Landmarks - Great consolidation you did here. I have only added short entries for Mt Umunhum (and the “Cube” on top of it which is core part of Almaden’s landscape everywhere) and the Old Almaden Winery. I find it hard to not have these 2 as they are probably amongst the most prominent landmarks here, esp the Mountain and it’s Cube.
  • Transportation - Added a few lines in the Roads section. You removed the “Bus” section - don’t we want this in the Transportation section? About the Trail, I have thinned it down to a couple of lines (removed the elaborate trail description). I think its important to acknowledge that, especially in the Bay Area, local trails are becoming an important commute route and it is something we should encourage for the environment too. In Almaden, for sure, it is a very popular commute route to work, school and public transport and deserves a spot. My 2 cents :)
  • Love the Further Reading section you added.

Your changes and my latest ones are now on the Sandbox page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yogeshgs/av_sandboxpage . Thanks again, looking forward to get your thoughts and thumbs up.

Yogesh

Almaden Valley edits on Sandbox, for your quick review

Hi Cristiano,

Hope you are well. Can I ask you for a favor? I have created a sandbox page for Almaden Valley where I have documented quite a few of updates that I would like to make for the Almaden Valley wiki page - I have spent several hours in putting together these updates. This information comes from a lot of my reading, research, personal knowledge, talking to local residents in Almaden Valley and various publications. But, before I make these updates on the actual page, I would truly appreciate if you could take a quick look and let me know what you think. I would appreciate your inputs and expert review.

A few comments:

  1. Throughout the process of documenting this, I have kept my goal as providing accurate and relevant information on Almaden Valley, doing justice to the neighborhood and readers without overwhelming with unnecessary information but at the same time educating the readers on the history, facts, culture and current info on the neighborhood. I hope this comes across in the content
  2. I have done my best to follow the Wikipedia editing principles of always providing citations, references, avoiding PoV or promotional tone. I have tried to write as a matter-of-fact and back up with data as much as I can
  3. For citations or references, I have stayed consistent in using sources that are similar or alike to other cities, towns, neighborhood pages use
  4. The content you have there is intact as it is all very accurate and relevant. I have made updates before and after your content, except for some very rare, minor updates. For e.g arranging the history section in chronological order after I added some entries
  5. I have tried to keep the structure and flow similar to other Bay Area locations pages

Here is a quick summary of the contributions I have made (currently on sandbox):

  • Added history of Hacienda and Casa Grande - key area and monuments in Almaden’s history
  • Added history of Almaden wines and the first winery in California
  • Added history of Graystone quarry, stone from which was used in many bay landmarks such as SF City Hall, Stanford University, SJSU etc
  • In Geography, added information on trails that Almaden is so popular for and the residential neighborhoods that make up Almaden
  • In Economy, added some more info on IBM’s Almaden Research Center and the discoveries made there. Also, included a line on the retail trade in Almaden
  • Added a section on Government to provide info on where the neighborhood sits on SJ’s legislative structure and who is the elected council member
  • In Demographics, added info on racial and gender make up based on the Census data and ACS
  • In Education, added info about 2 other school districts that Almaden Valley students go to, added ranking info on high schools
  • In Library, added info on other libraries also available to Almaden Valley residents
  • Added a section on Culture - this is particularly important for Almaden given the strong sense of culture in Almaden given its outdoors, sports and cultural events lifestyle. Also, provided info on shopping, dining and landmarks in this section
  • In Transportation, updated info on the now-closed rail station and added the nearest rail station. Added up to date info on other modes of transport by road, bus and local commute trails
  • In the Overview section, added highlights about what Almaden is known for (mines, trails, outdoor living etc), a line on historic importance (mines) and current contribution (to Silicon Valley) as well as about it being one of the expensive neighborhoods in the region
  • Added sections on Media (local newspapers) and presence of Almaden in media (books, art, documentaries)
  • Finally added a section on past and present Notable residents from the neighborhood.

Here is the sandbox page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yogeshgs/av_sandboxpage. Looking forward to hear from you!

Thanks, Yogesh(talk)

San Jose Revisions

Hi, so I would like to explain why the pushpin maps are nonstandard. They are a single dot on a topographic map. Geography is a cool element. But it is irrelevant when looking at the location of a city. 3 options, seriously? You only get the state, the US, and North America. Very poor images. With interactive maps, you can see cities around the city. Where do you see roads in pushpins? There's no roads in the static images, there's even roads in interactive maps! New York's interactive map highlights the city limits, so does this one! You zoom in, you see the city limits. There are a ton of other articles that use these maps. Atlanta, Boston, St. Louis, Columbus, Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco just to name a few. We're in the 21st century, and Wikipedia is already having these my default in map infoboxes.

Adding to the talk discussion page for SF Bay Area

Hey Cristiano! It's nice to meet you. Appreciate all your edits to various NorCal pages, as well as the pictures you take. Would you be open to weighing in on the San Francisco Bay Area talk page with regards to the core cities order (SJ/SF/Oakland)?

Edit war

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Silicon Valley. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Filetime (talk) 19:35, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

I have begun a discussion at the talk page for Silicon Valley regarding images. Diverging from the status quo, the oneus is upon you to establish consensus for what are clearly controversial edits. Any further unilateral revisions may result in a report at WP:AIV which itself may result in a block. Filetime (talk) 21:21, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Spanish Empire Map

There is no irredentism, nor are anachronous maps inadequate, in fact they are the norm in many other articles about empires, including the Portuguese one.

@GoodDay:, no I mean in what context. Are you opening a discussion or something? Cristiano Tomás (talk) 16:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Nope, just add the statement to the page, not the talkpage. If the page allows it. GoodDay (talk) 16:53, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@GoodDay:, yes go ahead and use my statement, though I can't imagine where it would fit on the page. In regards to opening up an RM on Portuguese monarchs, I'm not the guy to ask anymore I'm afraid. I no longer have an interest in leading such sweeping changes, even if they are sorely needed in my opinion. Too much bureaucracy to get through. I am content with simple editing nowadays. However, if you do so yourself or see others do so, I will gladly participate by sharing my opinion. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:25, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

It seems to be true that the gentleman was commonly known as Don Benito, but we can't say it unless some other WP:Reliable sourcehas said it first. I did a search in Newspapers.com for his name, and just one old source said he was "known" as Don Benito but not that he was "commonly known" as such.

Japantown, San Jose

Hi User:Cristiano Tomás! Thanks for stewarding the page so nicely, and adding your images, and apologies for making that change without talking about it. Gordon Biersch is certainly a fixture there, thanks for adding that back. I don't live in San Jose any longer, but the first 30 years of my life were there, and my interactions with the Japantown community influenced my life a lot, helping push me to eventually move to Japan. Also, I understand that there are mid-rise apartments popping up all over San Jose. However, I think we need to remember that the purpose of this article should be to reflect on what makes Japantown unique and notable, yes? In this case, perhaps we might include a mid-rise apartment that uniquely relates to the Japantown Community, such as Miraido Village; it was built by the well-known judo coach Yoshihiro Uchida in a Japanese style, and includes affordable units that have helped slow displacement of residents in Japantown. It is well loved, and currently still owned by people invested in the Japantown community. Or, the Fuji Tower, or the new J-Town Senior Apartments. Just ideas. I unfortunately don't have any other images, but if you're around there sometime, it might be a nice to snap some. Thanks again. Glad to have people like you here who are extremely dedicated and sincere in their efforts --Pmlydon (talk) 09:53, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

@Pmlydon:
Thank you for your kind message, I appreciate it greatly! I totally agree with you in regards to finding a more apt mid-rise for the infobox. Ideally, I would like to use an image of the new 7Empire midrise in Jtown covered by lovely murals. (see & read about it here: Mercury News - New tranquil mural near Japantown may foretell ‘better things to come’. I don't live in the immediate vicinity of Japantown, but next time I'm in the area I'll try to snap a pic. I took a few pics of the Jtown Senior Apartments and already uploaded them to the commons cat, but I'd prefer a midrise with some focal point, which is why I used the Canary Park pic because it includes a public park and gazebo, but once I get a photo of the mid-rise with the mural. If you ever need a hand when working on articles relating to the Bay Area, you can count me as a friend! Best regards, Cristiano Tomás (talk) 22:22, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
@Cristiano Tomás:
Right on, my friend. Let's keep each other in mind. Keep up the good work and stay well. --Pmlydon (talk) 13:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

COI Assistance for Silicon Valley Community Foundation

Hello User:Cristiano Tomás. I work with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation which puts me in a conflict of interest situation per the Wikipedia rules. Our page is in need of updating and I’m wondering if you might find it a good use of your time to assist with some updates. I see you have an interest in editing pages regarding the Bay Area. I have drafted some content for our COVID response along with formatted sources. If I were to post that on the article talk page, would you provide feedback regarding the edits? My goal is to improve the page, and while doing so, adhere to the Wikipedia rules regarding COI relationships. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Edenvale or Santa Teresa

Re this revert of my photo addition, see Google map of Edenvale outline. That's what I was going by; I don't see any such outline for Santa Teresa. What are you going by? Dicklyon (talk) 03:39, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@Dicklyon:, thanks for the message, I appreciate you reaching out! Firstly, I have to say how great your photo is and how happy I am you uploaded it! San Jose needs more aerials and I appreciate your work greatly.
Moving on, the Google outline merely copies the outline of the Edenvale planning area from the San José Planning Areas Map. These planning areas are only for statistical and urban planning purposes and do not correspond to to neighborhoods or districts of the city, despite the majority of the planning areas being named after neighborhoods within them. For example, the neighborhood of Willow Glen does not equate to the Willow Glen planning area; you can see the disparity between File:Willow Glen Boundaries.jpg, defined by the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association, and the outline of Willow Glen on the planning areas map. In the case of the Edenvale planning area, the actual area of the neighborhood of Edenvale is far smaller than the planning area. Most of what your aerial shows is not of the Edenvale neighborhood. Most of the western part of the picture is of Santa Teresa (west of CA 95), while the portions east of the Coyote Creek are part of Silver Creek (itself a part of Evergreen). The center of the image is mainly of the Cottle Transit Village (part of Santa Teresa and even formerly known as the Santa Teresa Transit Village). The northern 1/4 of the image is where you can see the actual neighborhood of Edenvale (and Blossom Valley). I've done a rough (very rough) overline of this on your image here. The state of neighborhood boundaries in San Jose are very inexact and iffy, so there are no official borders, but popular references can give a better idea of what San Joseans view as Santa Teresa (such as on Niche, Trulia, a generic San Jose neighborhood map, Hoodmaps, etc.), which all cover the majority of the area shown in the photo. The definitions are by no means exact, but I want to stress that the planning areas are not accurate depictions of the boundaries of the neighborhoods they are named after. Google's usage of the planning areas is super misleading. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 04:03, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks; I'll update the image description and maybe retitle it. I generally shoot whatever I fly over when I go on trips, and try to figure out what I got afterward. With the smokey air, I had to enhance the holy heck out of it, so it's a bit crunchy looking. Dicklyon (talk) 18:15, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
I also widened the crop, from the original, to get more of Edenvale in. Dicklyon (talk) 20:37, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
See my other aerials at User:Dicklyon#Aerials. Here are some of San Jose & SC County area, on flights in and out of SJC:
@Dicklyon: Wow those are some great photos! They are incredible resources for Wikipedia, we're all lucky for you to have uploaded them. Were these taken on normal commercial flights from SJC or in a private craft? The quality is stunning. Do you ever take requests? I can think of countless articles of sites around San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley that would benefit from your photography. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 02:47, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
They're commercial flights, so it would be hard to act on requests. But let me know what you're interested in; I'll be landing in a few days. Dicklyon (talk) 03:26, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
I added one crappy shot of Calero Reservoir, which I could barely see through the smoke. Dicklyon (talk) 23:01, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
