Cerritos, California[edit]

Some of this article has been borrowed from the city's website of its history section. Some of it contains a local's perspective on some of the changes in history... It looks okay, overall, but some revisions and edits making sure it's okay would be nice. Kind of like a large stub, kind of not... --AllyUnion (talk) 07:13, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • The landmarks section is huge, and questionably encyclopedic. Much of the information towards the bottom is Rambot data, with little or no changes made to it. It's a decent start, but it'd be wise to take heed from the Salt Lake City article below, as well as Sarajevo (a current FA, and by far the best city article we have) - those articles are a good guide to work from.

      • I think that Sarajevo claim may be dated. We've had a good many city articles since then. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:47, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
    • The only landmarks that could really be considered encyclopedic is the city's library, the Auto Square and the Pat Nixon Senior Center. Locally around California, the Auto Square is widely known. I have seen many cars sold from this particular auto square around Southern California. The city's library, has some reference to another encyclopedic library, plus it has a Smithsonian Affliation. But in all consideration, Cerritos is a small urban city, nothing at all the size of Salt Lake City. In relative comparison, there is less to focus and detail about. It's just my feelings is that it is nice to get to know people's hometowns and detail out information you wouldn't see in a typical encyclopedia. After all, as the saying goes here, "Wiki is not paper." --[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion (talk)]] 06:00, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Some major changes have been made. Additional feedback would be greatly appreciated. --AManSac 16:06, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

  • The page is full of unnecessary stuff. Check out the featured city articles that have made the cut. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:47, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
