Talk:Oakley, California

This is Tourism. I had not heard of this town, so I visited this page. This is one of the worst pages I've seen. It reads like an advertisement. It is poorly written and poorly organized. For example, why is there mention of the Bike Plan in the first paragraph? Why so much casual verbiage about how the town was named? Regarding the Simone historic mound -- 1,000 AD is not "prehistoric"; whoever wrote that needs to read what prehistoric means; just because something is "old" doesn't make it "prehistoric". Words have meaning, especially here at Wikipedia, where accuracy and proper diction are essential. How is the list of schools relevant? Post a link to the school district if you want to refer people to schools. Why not list every fire station in town? Or every police station? Or every hospital? Why is the % of students in school relevant? How is that % verified? Is someone monitoring that % every month for fluctuations and updating this page? Wikipedia is not a tourism brochure. It's an objective factual resource about the topic/subject matter presented.
