Credibility bot
As this is a highly active WikiProject, I would like to introduce you to Credibility bot.

In 1973 I remember that John Marshall Fundamental School’s mascot were The Tigers and the school mascot colors were orange and black. It was in 1974 that the Mascot was changed to The Patriot Eagles and the new mascot colors were red, white and blue! I felt this was a part of the History to be known by all. 70.93.234.140 (talk) 20:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Seeking advice regarding separate pages for Mills College after Northeastern acquisition
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to Wikipedia so please bear with me. On Mills College at Northeastern University someone began to discuss making separate pages for the entities pre and post merger/acquisition. I am currently a student here and recently decided to look into the issue further. I took the issue to the Wikipedia Discord to get further guidance, and was advised to bring the discussion here to get more eyes on the discussion.

Bayshore City
I've posted a stub for Bayshore City, California, an area that was incorporated from late 1932 to early 1940. This sort of geographical article is outside my general practice, but when I saw that there was no page for this little built-for-greyhound-racing city, I reckoned I'd do my part to give others something to build from. I've integrated where appropriate, but someone more used to these sort of articles should lay hands on it. (One oddity for it is that, given its specific dates of existence, it likely eluded being tracked by any census.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:47, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Monterey, California: did the Bay come first, or the City
Just thought I would post here as well as on the Teahouse about this quandary I’m having. I don’t want to seem like I’m making an edit in bad faith, and I don’t know if the Bay came first or second. I acknowledge that I am splitting hairs over this issue, but it never hurts to check.

Jim Goetz
Hello, last month I offered a suggested addition to the Jim Goetz article using its Talk page. As a Californian, his article is listed under this WikiProject, and the request pertains in part to his gift of a renovated movie theater to the city of Los Gatos. If someone finding this message is willing to review it, I would be grateful. I will not edit the page myself, I have a financial COI—he is a client of my firm. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk &middot; COI) 20:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Criteria for inclusion
Hi. Does anyone know what the criteria for inclusion here is? I ask because I noticed that the single &Run has the Wikiproject California template, but they don't seem to be associated with California in anyway what-so-ever. At least it's not clear in the article how they are associated with the state. It's possible the music video was shot in Los Angeles, but then it doesn't seem to be notable for that if it was. So anyway, does essentially anything even slightly related to California qualify for Wikiproject California, even if the connection isn't notable or mentioned in the article, or is there some other criteria? Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 11:16, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's because the band Sir Sly is formed and based in Orange County. I don't think it should be included. The single is not directly associated with California in any way. 94rain  Talk  06:29, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Help with new Infillion services section
Hello, I'm an employee of the Los Angeles-based media and advertising company Infillion. I've had an edit request waiting on the article's Talk page for the past month or so, and was wondering if anybody here would be interested in reviewing it. The request pertains to a new Location and out-of-home advertising section I'm proposing, which I think would improve the article by describing the company's relatively recent expansion into those two sectors. This link will take you to my request, which contains the full text of the draft and all its references. Thank you in advance to anyone who bothers to take a look.. Cheers, CM with Infillion (talk) 16:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
