Photomontage update
The Photo of the Father Serra statue could be replaced with one of the pier to better represent the city. I tried but don't know enough about editing the photo to fit the Photomontage. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 04:18, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Notable people
, I am a bit confused by your deletion of the Notable people section. WP:USCITIES says, "Provide information, preferably in prose form, of any famous or notable individuals that were born, or lived for a significant amount of time, in the city." The paragraphs on Theodosia Burr Shepherd and Erle Stanley Gardner seem to meet the guidelines. What is the problem with a small section as that is how most start? So many communities have bloated lists which are described in the guidelines as "Simple lists of names add little of value and may be subject to abuse. More developed articles, especially those which have gone through WP:GA and WP:FA, tend to have this section written out as prose." Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 06:39, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey, I should have been more clear in my edit description. It was not my intent to remove the section from the page, but to rewrite it (but i fell asleep before doing so). That being said, I'm no fan of unnecessary prose for this section, especially when describing facts that have nothing to do with the subject of the article (like how the first entry mentions the actors moving to Visalia, etc). I think the most that needs to be said is what their connection to the city is, but that may be a matter of my personal taste (but i'm no stonewall on the matter, happy to compromise).
