Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment

Diversity score?
[edit]The "diversity score" cited in the article was from a website called "Nerd Wallet". Is this a joke? 68.32.209.67 (talk) 23:57, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
History section
[edit]I know we've visited this topic before, but something really must be done with the history section. For the main Oakland article, it should include a brief summary of the land before settlement, before and after incorporation, and maybe a brief (one-line) mention of major events in the city, such as Loma Prieta, BPP and the firestorm. The conversion from the old to current Crime section went smoothly; anyone have the desire to do the same with the History section? Some of the FAs on cities may offer a blueprint.--Chimino (talk) 07:24, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Honestly, I kind of like it the way it is. Why do you think "something really must be done?" Apostle12 (talk) 17:12, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- I just want to note that there is a new second edition of Beth Bagwell's Oakland, The Story of a City available now. It has a new afterword with more recent history. Whoever is working on the history (and I know I have volunteered in the past, but without results) should be referring extensively to this book. Binksternet (talk) 19:19, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Briefly reviewed Bagwell's history. It looks intriguing, and the recent update seems relevant. Apostle12 (talk) 00:46, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's far, far too overlong, Apostle. All other major cities have their own History pages and keep a condensed version in their main pages. Compare Oakland to the other FA & GA city pages and you'll see what I mean.--Chimino (talk) 22:12, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- I respect your concerns, though I can't say that I share them. If you want to create a summary and split off history, I won't object. Apostle12 (talk) 00:46, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Encinal
[edit]The text translates "encinal" as "oak grove". That can be one usage of the word in Spanish, but it can also mean a more extensive area of oaks akin to "oak land". The context is important, and in the case of Oakland, there are two important contexts. One of these is obvious: the choice of the name "Oakland" by the American settlers, indicating their understanding of the word as locally used by the Peraltas. The other can be understood by looking at old maps. Oaks covered the area in an area far larger than a mere grove. The oaks did not grow as a dense forest for the most part, but in a savanna-like, park-like fashion, what is perhaps best termed a "woodland" in English. Moreover, on these old maps, the word "encinal" was employed to cover the large extents of oak growth, not mere groves. Given these considerations, I think the proper translation is "oak land". I think the change needs to be made to the article. Tmangray (talk) 20:10, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Oakland Skyline Image - Vote!
[edit]Hello everyone,
Following a disagreement about the skyline image, a fellow Wikipedia editor and I agreed to have the Wikipedia community vote for an image to represent the City of Oakland, as it appears on the sidebar at the top of the article.
Currently there are two candidates. The current photo (1) and a second image I have nominated (2). Feel free to add additional candidates if you find a photo you believe is a better alternative.
To submit your vote, all you need to do is select the number that corresponds to the image you believe best represents the City of Oakland. Please make sure to include your "signature and timestamp."
Thank you! --BDS2006 (talk) 05:04, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Current Candidates:

- 2. Inward-looking/quaint or outward-looking/worldly. Have to go with second, though I understand appeal of first. Plus I don't understand the appeal of fountains. Mike Linksvayer (talk) 05:28, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- 2: Both are fine in their own right, but I believe the Lake takes up too much of the current lead photo. Also, I prefer a day photo over evening photo for the lead. I'll also add there is probably no photo which truly encompasses a "city", which is likely why montages are so popular on Wikipedia.--Chimino (talk) 05:36, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- 1: Lake photo is superior. Apostle12 (talk) 06:09, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- If we are to decide upon an image for the infobox, we should be looking at all the likeliest candidates, not just two of them. Here are five more shots, some of which have actually served the purpose of infobox photo for the article. Personally, I favor any shot that includes Lake Merritt. Binksternet (talk) 16:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- 7: The last photo is very appealing. Most others are ugly. Apostle12 (talk) 11:09, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- 7 has previously been used for the infobox. It has a flaw: a diagonal band of poor focus caused most likely by the photographer shooting through the exhaust of a jet engine. Binksternet (talk) 12:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- I see the flaw you mention, now that I've enlarged it. At normal size it wasn't apparent. Apostle12 (talk) 05:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Binksternet for posting all those additional options!BDS2006 (talk) 22:51, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- My comment should not be taken as a vote. however, in order of preference: 1 solely for its charm, despite limited visual info (water and air). 5 most realistic, but has same problem as 1, too much air and water. 2, excellent display of its urban setting and inclusion of the tribune tower, but a little too cluttered. 3,4,6,7 all have flaws that disualify them in my eye. 3 is too low res and colors are inaccurate (sunrise?), 4 is too wavy, and i dont like most aerial photos for such purpose. 5 and 2 could go somewhere.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:27, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- 1 is my favorite of these images. Binksternet (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- 2: Photo 1 looks like an insignificant urban center in Cleveland. Photo 2 most accurately represents how Oakland looks and feels. Photo 1 is a great representation of Lake Merritt, not the City's skyline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.121.64.2 (talk • contribs)
- 2: Photo 2 is better because it features the bay, the bridge and tribune tower.--Fashionbaby90 (talk) 03:31, 08 February 2013 (UTC)
- 2. I think it better shows the city — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.152.3 (talk) 23:46, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- It seems to me that someone contributing from an anonymous IP in San Francisco City Hall should not have a say in Oakland's article, seeing as how the two cities are crossbay rivals in certain ways. Binksternet (talk) 00:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Photo 2 is inferior because it is a jumble of buildings without a theme. The photo has no redeeming characteristics such as fine composition or focus of topic. It is an ugly photo. Binksternet (talk) 00:06, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. Photo 1 for sure. Apostle12 (talk) 11:46, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- 2: Oakland is characterized by commercial, industrial, and infrastructural assets that make it one of the most important economic centers in the State of California. Only the second image properly demonstrates all three domains by showing the city centre, the port, and the freeway/bridges all in a single photograph. I must concede that Binksternet is correct in asserting that Photo 2 is "a jumble of buildings without a theme." After all, isn't that what a city is? To truly represent a city is to capture the chaos of man-made objects that make it one. BDS2006 (talk) 16:04, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- Prior to mine, no new votes had been cast in over three months. After seven months of polling, the second photo (2) has received the most votes. Out of respect for the Wikipedia community, Photo 2 should be used until a better option (with more votes) becomes available. Thanks to all who participated in this decision. You all contributed insightful observations that I'm confident will guide the next round of photographers in capturing the true essence of the City of Oakland. BDS2006 (talk) 16:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

While photo 2 was nice for its time, it makes no sense now to have it as the lead, with the old Bay Bridge almost completely removed. Is there a more current picture that can take its place? I like the aerial closeup of the skyline as opposed to looking tiny seen from Lakeshore Ave., yet wondered if anyone has a similar pic to 2 with the new eastern bridge span showing instead of the old. MinPhoeb1 (talk) 08:41, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Is Correction Needed?
[edit]I'm not from Oakland but under the section "2010" it states that 7 people were killed during a shooting in East Oakland near the airport and Coliseum Complex. Is the airport and Coliseum East Oakland, or is that West Oakland? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.251.112.134 (talk) 22:03, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- The northwest section of Oakland is traditionally called West Oakland. The southeast and southwest parts of Oakland, not counting the hills, are traditionally called East Oakland. Binksternet (talk) 23:04, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- This is true. the killings occurred in East Oakland, despite the locale being on the "west" side. as the city is at a slant off the N-S axis, the most southern parts are "east" of the northern parts.(mercurywoodrose)50.193.19.66 (talk) 22:08, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Crime references in the intro
[edit]Why is Oakland the only city with a reference to crime in the introduction?
I see that no other city in California or in the Bay Area has a reference to crime in the intro. Also, in the history 2010's section, the occupy references and references to crime dominate the article. Is crime and demonstrations the only things that happens in Oakland in this time period? There was no economic development, no restaurant boom, no growth as an artist destination?
Unfortunately, this article is still being held hostage and manipulated by anti-Oakland assets who would rather interject fear and negativity in an attempt to mislead readers while also attempting to instill fear in order to stunt Oakland's economic growth. Oakland police assets are also at work trying to induce fear about Oakland in order to gain political advantage for future economic gain.
It's time to purge this article of the influence of many of its long time biased editors who hold hidden agendas.~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.215.121 (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- This has been a contentious point regarding the Oakland article, and you can check the archives for past discussion on the topic. I personally believe it has no place in the lead (as it is a rare occurance for crime to be mentioned in a city's lead, across the board), but others disagree.--Chimino (talk) 02:11, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Nicknames
[edit]Id say the Nickname field for Oakland needs full protection:). people add all sorts of names there, i just removed one that was a nickname for a single block in Oakland. silly people. Bump City has a ref, and i know we can get a ref for Oaktown.(mercurywoodrose)50.193.19.66 (talk) 22:04, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Race relations prior to World War II
[edit]Kitty Kelly Epstein has documented the use of restrictive covenants in the Glenview and Rockridge neighborhoods. (A Different View of Urban Schools, 2012, Peter Lang Publishing, NY). In the same book she also documents extensive Ku Klux Klan activity in Oakland after World War 1. It is inaccurate to say that Oakland's race relations were harmonious until Southern migrants brought racism from the South during World War II. Other scholars who document racial discrimination in Oakland prior to World War II include Chris Rhomberg, No There There, University of California Press, 2007; and Robert O. Self, American Babylon, 2003, Princeton University Press. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.133.164.228 (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Why take down "The Town"
[edit]I don't know about you guys but I'm an Oakland native and it is more common to here the city called "The Town" rather than Oaktown (which is still common) I've never even heard of Bump City. That sounds ridiculous to be honest. I guess hipsters moving in and gentrifying the city are also trying to change the cities rich identy.07:33, 10 July 2013 69.181.75.204 (talk)
- Bump city is a real nickname, not common. I cant find more than a passing ref to "the town", so i wont add it bac. I edited some of your comments. if you want to provide a reference to your hipster comments, please do, otherwise realize that this is not a forum for discussing the cities demographics.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:21, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
lead contamination
[edit]It still needs a lot of work, but I've started an article about lead contamination in Oakland. I added a mention of it to the lede of this article, but it probably deserves a subsection somewhere - I'll work on integrating it in to the article better. (The lead contamination article itself isn't done yet either, but I figured it was good enough to move it live.) If anyone wants to beat me to it, feel free :) Kevin Gorman (talk) 00:09, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
Structure
[edit]Hi. I'm going through all the US Cities (as per List of United States cities by population) in an effort to provide some uniformity in structure. Anyone have an issue with me restructuring this article as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. I won't be changing any content, merely the order. Occasionally, I will also move a picture just to clean up spacing issues. I've already gone through the top 20 or so on the above list, if you'd like to see how they turned out. Thoughts? Onel5969 (talk) 16:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me; we've had disagreements about content in the past (I also wanted it to better reflect other city articles which have made it to GA/FA status), but any cleanup of structure to make it better reflect the ideal put forth by Wikiproject Cities is more than welcome.--Chimino (talk) 23:24, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Chimino: This was one of the easiest edits. It was almost in complete agreement with the guidelines. Thought you might like to know that.Onel5969 (talk) 19:43, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks One15969; you're dooing great work.--Chimino (talk) 03:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Portal peer review
[edit]I have submitted Portal:San Francisco Bay Area to peer review. i would welcome any comments. i believe it is fully ready for featured portal status, but i have been just about the only editor there for a while.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
History section
[edit]After another editor moved the history section to its own article (aptly done in my opinion), I've summarized that history and included it in this article. Still probably a bit long. I'm not an expert on Oakland, but attempted to get the highlights while leaving out the nuts and bolts details, which are more appropriate for the History article. Anyway, thought I'd begin the summary. Onel5969 (talk) 20:58, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
In the "2000s" section there is both a logical fallacy and statements that are so far from fact as to approach an outright lie, to wit:
"Brown's plan and other redevelopment projects were controversial due to potential rent increases and gentrification, which would displace lower-income residents from downtown Oakland into outlying neighborhoods and cities.[47]
"Further hampering Oakland's economic recovery..." The logical problem with this phrase is that the preceding paragraph in no way discussed ANY delayed "economic recovery," but in fact discussed then Mayor Jerry Brown's Downtown/Uptown revival project, which arguably displaced low-income African-Americans with much more affluent whites and African-Americans, among others.
Likewise, the following claim not only has no reputable citations in support, but it is in fact demonstrably FALSE: "...[Oakland's growth stopped due to] economic crises in 2001 and 2008. These downturns resulted in lowered sales, rentals and occupancy of the new housing and slower growth and economic recovery than expected."
IN FACT, The Boston Globe, WSJ, NYTimes, UK Guardian, NPR, LATimes, SF Gate, Biz Journal, Boston.com, National Geographic, et al have all run articles on the following
-Oakland booming hipster culture, housing sales, explosive restaurant growth, Art Murmur events, etc., have made Bay Area's "Brooklyn by the Bay," the media meme of 2013-2014
In 2014, over three hundred new restaurants and bars opened in Oakland (SF Gate). In 2014, 2015 rents in Oakland had become the second fastest rising ones in the nation (Biz Journal). In 2012, gentrification had begun to seriously impact the traditionally lower working -class/poor West Oakland, due to the influx of young, educated affluent African-Americans, whites, and others.
The entire section is blazingly false, and one should revise it post haste. - signed by anon IP
- Actually, Oakland's black population has greatly declined from over 50% or half in 1990 to 40% in 2000 to about 20% in 2016. Hipsters or young affluent whites can be found in downtown area. And before 2008, the increase in Latino and Asian immigration changed Oakland's demographics, although Latinos and Asians in Oakland like the rest of the SF Bay area and CA are historically part of the demographic profile. 67.49.89.214 (talk) 17:48, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Crime
[edit]The lede claims "much progress has been made" (improving it). WTF? Its pretty simple to compare (violent) crime rates between cities both with others in California and nationwide cities of comparable population. The per captia crime rate is an 'absolute' measure of crime and should be reported (not necessarily in the lede). The section on Crime goes on to babble about 10% drops and other nonsense as if the relative change from year to year is more important than the absolute number of crimes. These sections seem quite biased in favor of Oakland. According to the table on crime for US cities over 250,000 Oakland for 2012 Ranks Top in Robbery and also for Vehicle Theft, 2nd for Violent Crimes and also Property Crimes,6th for Murder, 7th for Rape, 8th for Assault, 10th for burglary and 17th for larceny - thats out of a total of 73 cities. Remind me to avoid ever visiting...but that aside: only politicians and spin-doctors talk about changes in rates as if they're more relevant than the actual frequency. Much of the discussion on Crime is meaningless to anybody but those involved with the city's law enforcement and should be removed, imho.216.96.77.81 (talk) 22:50, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Your long-winded complaint is correct. I reworded. Brycehughes (talk) 02:09, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
What demonstrates "bias " against Oakland is the racist comment, "Remind me to avoid ever visiting." In fact, it is relevant that while Oakland's overall crime stats are undeniably high, nonetheless (a) significan drops in certain crimes categories do indicate improvement and (b) statistical analysis of those areas more prone to crime within the city give a much more accurate portrayal of the city overall; for example, Oakland's wealthy Montclair and Crocker Highlands experience less crime than most neighborhoods in San Francisco. The "long-winded complaint" to which BryceHuges alludes is neither "correct" nor "unbiased." It is, in fact, conveys a lack of understanding about statistics and their contexts. It also conveys the usual white racism vis-à-vis the trope of "Oakland" versus what Oakland really is.
What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content. Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 09:41, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Vandalized/outdated demographics data
[edit]The section Oakland,_California#Demographics seems to contain information/data which has been vandalized and or is outdated. FYI. WinterSpw (talk) 21:10, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Ordering of the last paragraph of the lead section
[edit]Hello! In reading the last paragraph of the lead section, I'm struck that it starts with a list of things Oakland is "known for" much of which seem to be far less prominent and well known than the city's diversity. What about changing the order like this:
- Current version
- Oakland is known for its sustainability practices, including a top ranking for usage of electricity from renewable resources. Oakland is also known for its history of political activism, as well as its professional sports franchises and major corporations, which include health care, dot-com companies, and manufacturers of household products. In addition, due to a steady influx of immigrants during the 20th century, along with thousands of African-American war-industry workers who relocated from the Deep South during the 1940s, Oakland is the most ethnically diverse major city in the country.[1]
- Proposed version

My contribution Ideas: How the plague affected people in Oakland
[edit]This article is a little tough to add to because there is already so much information about Oakland; however, since the nature of this assignment is to focus on the plague, I plan on contributing a significant portion under "History." Many articles on the internet focus on how the plague that took place between 1901-1904 in San Fransisco but there were also pneumonic cases that took place in Oakland and none of this is noted in the article. Since Oakland is in such close proximity to San Fransisco, I believe it is important to talk about the affect of the plague on people of Oakland. A subsection under "History" is called "1900-1950." I am thinking of maybe re-naming this and adding a subsection before this focusing on how the plague affected Oakland in the time period of 1900-1904 or I may just write a first paragraph in this subsection talking about the plague. Any input would be great. Here are some great articles I found with relevant information (along with the books we have been reading in class):

Planned Additions
[edit]This article does not contain any information about Chinatown, so plan to add information about how it developed. The Chinese also introduced the bay area(Oakland) to plague, so I plan to describe when plague was first diagnosed in the bay area and how many lives the epidemic of plague claimed in Oakland. It is also important to mention how the officials in Oakland responded to the epidemic. Aside from the plague I noticed that several major hospitals are mentioned in the article, therefore I believe that it is important to add more information about the Highland hospital into the healthcare section.Aleman1993 (talk) 05:24, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
I plan to use these references

Expanding draft
[edit]I added the sub section 1900-1904. More needs to be added to this but for now, the first paragraph tells that the bubonic plague happened and what it is. Further additions will be made to show how this affected Oakland. Further revisions will also be made for this section to flow better with the rest of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssahay2 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
I changed and finalized my subsection: I changed the subsection title to Bubonic plague in the first decade and changed the entire first paragraph, added hyperlinks, cited information, and changed tone of first paragraph to match the rest. For more detail, please visit my sandbox. I am open to suggestions!
Ssahay2 (talk) 01:31, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Removal/Additions
[edit]I have renamed the title of the Plague section to "Plague" because it was titled "bubonic plague", but the epidemic in Oakland was Pneumonic plague. Additionally, I erased several sentences that described the disease in too much detail for this article. This is also an article on Oakland and there was too much information about the plague in San Francisco. Some claims were even redundant, so those were erased as well. Aleman1993 (talk) 00:28, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
The arrival of the Chinese into Oakland is important, so I added why and when the Chinese began to arrive to Oakland. It's also crucial to know that their living conditions in their home country were not sanitary, in order to clearly demonstrate how they transferred Plague. There wasn't any information of Plague, so it must be understood that Plague started in San Francisco. However this is not an article on San Francisco, so the information from San Francisco was kept to a minimum. Yet, how the disease transferred into Oakland is also important. Kelly Foster also played a key role in preventing the disease from having such a deadly outcome because he was always willing to help address the problem unlike governor Gage. The number of deaths that the Pneunomic plague caused was also added. How the officials responded is also shown because the quarantine guidelines that were placed in the Oakland ports were added.Additionally, it is shown that the officials did the best of their ability because they were not granted enough resources. I have added links from my Oakland article to wars that China engaged in, to the bacteria from Plague, to Henry Gage, and to the United States Public Health Service. I have also added links to my Oakland, California article from the Chinatown, Oakland article and from the Pneumonic plague article. I also added an image of Alta Bates medical Center because the majority of the sections have an image and the healthcare section seemed underrepresented because there was no images.Additionally, I added citations for two sentences that had a "citation needed" warning.Aleman1993 (talk) 20:56, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Community Health
[edit]I am exploring the idea of possibly adding a section regarding the community health within Oakland. This includes common health issues and overall health access and disparities that are present.
Police-Recorded Crime and Perceived Stress among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: the Diabetes Study of Northern California (DISTANCE) [1]
Beyond Supermarkets: Food Outlet Location Selection in Four U.S. Cities Over Time [2]
Exploring Equity in Multisector Community Health Partnerships [3]
Factors associated with substance use in older homeless adults: Results from the HOPE HOME study [4]
How do individual-level sociodemographics and neighbourhood-level characteristics influence residential location behaviour in the context of the food and built environment? Findings from 25 years of follow-up in the CARDIA Study [5]
This article focuses on how the neighborhood lifestyle influences many diet-related and health-related preferences and characteristics. With part of the study focusing on Oakland, I believe that this study would help me gain a better understanding the behavioral lifestyle the representative group of Oakland has and how it influences their healthcare decisions. This characteristics is important to elaborate when writing the new "Community Health" Section.
Food Security Status and Barriers to Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in Two Economically Deprived Communities of Oakland, California, 2013–2014 [6]
Tobacco cessation behaviors among older homeless adults: results from the HOPE HOME Study [7]
This study focuses mainly on tobacco behavior and mortality rates amongst the homeless population within Oakland, CA. I was looking to use this source as possibly a means to go into detail about the more common behavioral health issues that are prevalent within the community health in Oakland. While this study mainly focuses on the homeless population, I wanted to focus it on this population as they primarily utilize the more affordable access to the healthcare clinics such as La Clínica.
A quantitative microbial risk assessment of wastewater treatment plant blending: case study in San Francisco Bay. [8]
Health impact assessment as community participation [9]
Building sustainable health and education partnerships: stories from local communities [10]
This source read particularly useful for analyzing the relationship and correlation between health disparities prevalent among youth and their effects on academic achievements. With part of the study focusing on Oakland, CA, this source can help embellish a new addition to the Oakland, CA site heading "Community Health" which can help educate the public about the impacts of community health within the area.

Oakland Wiki Editors? Are you local?
[edit]Hello ! I am a new editor and native to Oakland California/Ohlone land. Are there meet ups at all for Oakland wiki editors? I would like to start one if there isn't if anyone is interested.
I am also learning a lot. I am a new comer. Any suggestions on articles to read to add to commons and create a new article, please send them my way.
With love <3 Casitachinita (talk) 21:43, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Casitachinita: With love? You have made four edits on Wikipedia, and none of them were to improve the encyclopedia. This is not a dating site. Please take a moment to read WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK. --Magnolia677 (talk) 22:19, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your sweet reply :) I am volunteer who is coming back. So I would like to learn more about how to write better articles because my first one got deleted. Learning on how to improve it as we speak.
- This is why retention for new comers is low because of rude comments like the one you just posted. @Magnolia677 Casitachinita (talk) 22:23, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- For someone who has done a lot for Wikipedia, you come across as rude to a new comer. It's very intimidating on here and your words are not at all gentle or welcoming by any means. Casitachinita (talk) 22:26, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- I would recommend getting more wiki experience before you make a move to host a wiki meetup in Oakland. Another tip: create a theme for the meetup, for instance encouraging the creation and expansion of pages about some aspect of Oakland, or the opportunity to use source material from an Oakland archive such as the Oakland History Room. You might contact Oakland Heritage Alliance to get more material about architecture and neighborhoods, or you could poll local librarians about their interests.

Bay Area's trade center and economic engine
[edit]What does it mean to say that Oakland is the Bay Area's "economic engine", over SF and Silicon Valley? 135.180.146.84 (talk) 18:56, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Center of Northern California / Bay Area black population
[edit]I seem to remember that the article used to say something like this before it was removed. Oakland has by far the largest Black population in the Bay Area with
- Oakland: 105 thousand
- San Francisco: 45 thousand
- San Jose: 30 thousand
- Vallejo: 25 thousand
- Richmond: 20 thousand
- Antioch: 17 thousand
- Fairfield: 17 thousand
- Hayward: 15 thousand
- Pittsburg: 11 thousand
- Vacaville: 10 thousand
- San Leandro: 10 thousand
And in Northern California:
- Oakland: 105 thousand
- Sacramento: 68 thousand
- San Francisco: 45 thousand
- Fresno: 40 thousand
- Stockton: 35 thousand
- San Jose: 30 thousand
- Vallejo: 25 thousand
And Oakland has the highest Black percentage. This should go in the lead section. 135.180.146.84 (talk) 19:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
This incident is notable...
[edit]... because it shows that the city does not care about violent crime when the victims are Trump supporters. It should be put back in the article.
In August 2018, Diablo Valley College ethics professor Eric Clanton was sentenced to zero time in prison after he used a metal bike lock to assault the heads of seven Donald Trump supporters, even though there was video proof. Clanton had tried to hide his identity, but amateur sleuths from 4chan were able to accurately identify him, and his identity was later confirmed by police using forensic evidence.[1][2][3][4][5]

- As I said in my summary: "we don't need information about one particular incident". This simply one relatively minor incident and it does not warrant being included in an overview about crime in Oakland. It certainly does not show " that the city does not care about violent crime when the victims are Trump supporters". Meters (talk) 20:29, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is clearly a one-off incident that doesn't reach the significance for the article on Oakland CA. Maybe it's relevant to the 4chan article, but I don't know about that. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:35, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- I did add it to the 4chan article, but someone else removed it.
- I think it's a really big deal, for both articles.
- SquirrelHill1971 (talk) 02:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
