Please do not add too many tags.


 * 1) Do not add stub to an article like this which already has a subject-specific tag (here swimming-bio-stub).
 * 2) expand article is not useful as it only duplicates the information in all stub tags, and should only be used when you can offer sources from which to expand the article (read what it says).
 * 3) It is hardly worth adding refimprove and onesource to a well-sourced two-sentence stub.

There is a lot of rubbish out there on Wikipedia which needs to be improved, but the encyclopedia is not helped when so many inappropriate tags are added to a short and uncontroversial article. Please find more constructive things to do with your editing time! Happy Editing. Pam D  07:14, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Villa Verde (Pasadena, California)
There are some more problems with tags here.


 * 1) The sections tag is for a long article which needs to be divided. This article will need to be a lot longer than 3 sentences before that tag could be appropriate.
 * 2) Why did you change California-NRHP-stub to the less useful California-stub? Please do not try to edit things you do not understand.

Thanks. Pam D  07:21, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
