Intro

I would suggest that the information on the flooding in downtown be moved, as I am not sure that the intro is the right place to get into that kind of specific information. Perhaps it could be a section within the Geography space? I'd also like to get the notable residents out of the first paragraph but will hold off for the moment.

Suggestion taken, after lengthy consideration. An NPOV upgrade is needed to that information, as a subject of local controversy.

Like you, I'm not so sure about having the notable residents in the intro. Overall, this article needs a lot of work, including references, of which it has none in the history section. Jusdafax (talk) 10:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow - you are quick - I posted the flood info into the intro, then a few minutes later, I moved it to geography section. Also - the 25, 43 and 63 dates are from a lady who had lived beside the creek for all that time and aren't verified as to the exact years - though, she was very clear about the heights of the flooding and that it was about 8" to 12" higher each notable flood. I haven't found any verification as to the years, though my family has lived here since the late 20's and my father used to tell the story of the mid 1940's "flood" when he was a kid.

OK - Verified the flood dates and referenced them, too. The reference to the 25 flood as being the worst is referenced to 1924 and before, I'd guess - as the my interviewed source said the 25 flood only went 1 foot up her foundation and each later flood was about a foot higher as time went on (makes it easy to remember) Notable residents = moved to new section Marc Salvisberg (talk) 00:52, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

George Lucas and other inhabitants

George Lucas doesn't live at Skywalker Ranch - that's his business. He lives along Park Place, just west of the United Market. Michael Jantze does certainly live in San Anselmo, too: the Norm is based in part on the town and it's a great source of local pride. Now, since I don't know exactly where Jantze lives, I won't quibble if someone removes him again, but since Lucas's home shares a driveway with my friend's home it's pretty clear he's a San Anselmoan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.70.34.237 (talk) 04:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two History sections?

Shouldn't these be merged? I can attempt it if no one else wants to.

'Riding Sugarfoot'?

Implies movement; tough to do on a statue. But, it is Marin County, so anything is possible. Many unicorn riders there. 2002:48FB:E39:0:0:0:48FB:E39 (talk) 19:06, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
