Talk:Napa, California/Archive 1

Link
I have restored the "localwineevents.com" link. I might ordinarily have removed it as a spamlink, but it is specifically about THE most important part of Napa's economy/culture. What tipped in its favor was the website's listing in Wine & Spirits magazine's "Best Websites" section in its Fall 2006 Special Issue (page 16, you can look it up). --Calton | Talk 01:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Plagiarism
Either this article was taken entirely from: http://www.cityofnapa.org/napaataglance/history.htm

Or they took everything from here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.26.0.195 (talk) 01:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC).

It was taken from that page:

http://web.archive.org/web/20030427065033/http://www.cityofnapa.org/napaataglance/history.htm

It goes back to 2003 where as the text for this page came at this revision:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Napa%2C_California&diff=136969074&oldid=94241768

From 2006. I advocate deletion of the offending text.

Robin Williams
The unreferenced claim that Robin Williams was a part-time resident of Napa appears dubious. He had a home in nearby Paradise Cay (an enclave surrounded by Tiburon, California) which he bought in December 2008, and used as a part-time residence. His primary residence was in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco. Prior to that he lived in another home in San Francisco with his wife Marsha Garces until she filed for divorce in March 2008. Taxman1913 (talk) 21:10, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, he owned a ranch in the Napa Valley, but I agree that wouldn't necessarily make him a resident, but it seems plausible that he would've spent some time there. -Stepheng3 (talk) 03:51, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Robin Williams did own a ranch in Napa and spent a significant amount of time there. Williams was a regular at many Napa businesses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.192.26 (talk) 17:23, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Robin Williams' ranch is in Napa County, not the City of Napa, so he was a part-time resident of the County of Napa, not the City of Napa. Rlm3md (talk) 03:24, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Napístes Indians
Not sure how to weave this into the article, so I'm going to leave this here. The Mission San José Ohlones interviewed by J. P. Harrington in the 1920s knew of the Napa Indians as Napístes. Citation follows.

[Chochenyo field notes], Harrington.010.001, in "Miscellaneous papers from the Survey of California and Other Indian Languages", Survey of California and Other Indian Languages, University of California, Berkeley, http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.7297/X2M61H6G. "napístes are the Napa Indians. This an Ind. word" (p.66)
