Finish harmonizing Template:California BigBang11 23:27 Pacific Standard Time, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
What criteria is being used to determine what regions should be on this template? I do not want to see an edit war over this section similar to what happened with the metros section before we decided to strictly use Census MSAs. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I just deleted a bunch of 'regions' that are just parts of LA or LA County (e.g. Palos Verdes Peninsula). I also deleted some of the minor valleys such as Conejo Valley. I think that even with my deletions the regions section is still too large, but every criteria that I can think of would probably eliminate too many regions.
The list that User talk:Geomeister seems to be following is List of regions of the United States#California. Blank Verse 10:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, Geomeister is adding a bunch of links that aren't regions. How are Salton Sea and Santa Ana Mountains regions of California? Are we going to list every mountain range and lake as regions? — Kenyon ( t· c) 05:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
The section about microarea's is a bit ridiculous and likely needs to be removed. South Bay ( talk) 22:33, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Why do the metro areas link to the cities in those areas? If we're going to have a list of cities, then we might as well call it "major cities". But if we're going to have metro areas, then let's link to the metro area articles. -- TorriTorri( Talk to me!) 02:04, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
the metro stat and micro stat sections are a mess. too much original research. not that the research is inaccurate, its just not supported by external refs. I think i need to tighten it up. some helpful links: California census statistical areas, San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA MSA, Los Angeles metropolitan area, Greater Los Angeles Area, San Diego metropolitan area, Sacramento metropolitan area, Metropolitan Fresno, etc. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 07:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
OK im gonna try here. i think the region/metro/micro should simply be counties. i will consider other changes. see if i have the moxie to do this (although we californians usually dont have moxie, which is more of a NY thing) Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 02:49, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Dividing the states into two halves (Northern and Southern), Stockton is the 5th largest in NorCal (with over 300,000 people) and Riverside is the 5th largest in SoCal (also with over 300,000). San Jose now has over a million people and Fresno surpassed Sacramento (state capital) as the state's 4th largest city. San Diego-Tijuana on both sides of the US-Mexican border should be the 2nd largest metro area in the state, then again Riverside-San Bernardino metro area has more people than San Diego if you go by only the US side. Only one city north of Sacramento, Chico has over 100,000. And recently, Indio in the fast-growing Palm Springs/Coachella area surpassed the 100,000 mark. About 80 cities now in California have over 100,000 residents. 67.49.89.214 ( talk) 17:34, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Please change the "regions" subsection so as to include the "Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta" as a region of California. 166.148.67.254 ( talk) 18:31, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
