Talk:Sunnyside, Washington

Cheese in Sunnyside
Your edits about the cheese production in Sunnyside seems to be a commercial. I'm not saying you're a sock puppet or you did a dishonest edit, but it looks like that. FYI, I consider Sunnyside to be my home town (I was born in Richland which was the nearest hospital at the time) so I want to see this article to stay as clean as possible. Entries about the commercial aspects of Sunnyside are ok, but when the Commercial section basically plugs one company and one product, I have to weigh in. If your intentions are honest, keep on editing. My preference is for us to discuss the section of SUNNYSIDE COMMERCE on the Sunnyside DISCUSSION page before editing. -- A Kamiakin alum from the 60's, -- Quartermaster (talk) 02:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC) (duplicated on users DISCUSSION page)

While in Yakima to attend my brother's wedding I found the brochure for the Dairy Fair and was curious to not find it on the Sunnyside page. It seemed to me of some interest as a major manufacturer and something of a tourist destination (and being marketed as such). But strangely Darigold doesn't even have a page about it on their website, so I thought some sort of mention was warrented. The Plant is a major employer and given the volume it produces of national significance (just as Tree Top is mentioned on the page for Selah).

Maybe what is needed is more about the overall economy of Sunnyside - agriculture, any other significant manufacturing, etc. You would know more about that (I live in L.A., although I grew up in Selah and Yakima during the 60s/70s). Such a section would bolster the entry, which seems to need some work (the history section barely gets beyond the first decades of the 20th century). My intent was to enhance the page Dgabbard (talk) 16:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it would be a good idea to have an entire section on the economy, rather than mentioning just one company. I figured you were editing in good faith (Cheese in Sunnyside just doesn't have the cachet for spam like sock puppetry). I like the fact that we still have the text in an earlier version, so a larger section on the economy could draw from that. Not many of us are going to be editing on Sunnyside (when I left it had a population of 6,000) so any help is appreciated! -- Quartermaster (talk) 21:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I like the new section on attractions. Adds local color. Dgabbard (talk) 16:23, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

To all Sunnysidians! My Letter to the Editor of the Daily Sun
I just wrote a letter to the editor of the Daily Sun (there's now a link to it in the main article under "External Links"). In it I'm asking for participation in Wikipedia by people from Sunnyside, specifically on this article, as well as some others (e.g., Chief Kamiakin Elementary School which is in Sunnyside). I have no idea if the letter will get published, but if you're here because of that (or any other reason) and want to contribute, feel free to put your questions and suggestions here. If you're not sure how to do things, just ask! --Quartermaster (talk) 14:09, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Dunkard dating?
They didn't drink, they didn't dance, so why would I think they went in for dating? No, seriously, it would be interesting to know when the German Baptist group bought the town, and how long they dominated it. As that paragraph stands now, there is no indication of even the decade(s) in question, let alone the year(s). Someone with access to citable documents, please help. --Haruo (talk) 17:08, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

¿Donde está el artículo en wp-es (español)?
I may go ahead and try my hand at one. Seems very strange that the Spanish Wikipedia is silent on this heavily Hispanic city. I just made a start at an Esperanto article on the subject and noticed es was missing from the interwikis. Wait just a minute! It's there, it's just not linked. I thought robots took care of that sort of thing, but I'll go ahead and do it. --Haruo (talk) 18:34, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
