Since this WikiProject was recently created, I'll reserve judgment for now. But as I mentioned on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California#WikiProject San Diego, depending on how much activity and participants this San Diego WikiProject generates, it may eventually be relegated to a task force instead, just like what happened to those pertaining to Southern California, Santa Barbara County, Los Angeles, Inland Empire, and San Francisco Bay Area.

I have a handful of informative images of San Diego that I'd be willing to license; is there a need for them? ⅊ ™ 03:39, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration here is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.
The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. -- Kumioko ( talk) 19:25, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

As you might have seen or heard, a certain San Diego city councilmember's wikipage has been in the local news recently. Due to this interest, I thought it might be a good idea to give all the city councilmembers their own page so there are no red links in the city council template (which I created, by the way ;) ). However, in the past San Diego City Council member wikipages have been targeted for deletion due to notability issues (see Marti Emerald and Scott Peters). Although, as is well known, discussions for deletion are not a vote, I thought project members should be aware of this in case they are targeted again. XinJeisan ( talk) 21:30, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
I've noticed a few pages about (related?) San Diego artists ( Micha Cárdenas, which has been up for deletion twice and Katherine Sweetman, which I just put up for deletion) that seem to have either been created and written by the artists themselves and/or written in a heavily promotional/POV style. If (I think that is a big if..) they are judged to be notable by the community there should be an effort to make these pages NPOV and up to the standards of wikipedia rather than just promotional pages for the artists.

Hello everyone. I just joined the WikiProject but have worked with San Diego-related articles throughout my time here, mostly with images. In pursuit of further images on San Diego history, I contacted the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, an organization developed to improve Balboa Park's technology and expand its museums' extensive culture with the public. I met with some of their staff last week and, in the spirit of GLAM, they are interested in working with local Wikipedians to bring content to Wikimedia Commons, expand articles related to Balboa Park, and provide sources for many topics related to Southern California. We discussed events such as "backstage" tours, edit-a-thons, contests, and one-on-one collaborations with curators/librarians. In preparation for these types of events, they would like to hold a meet-and-greet with a group of local Wikipedians to get an idea of who would be interested in collaborating with museum and BPOC staff. If anyone in this project is interested in assisting with a collaboration to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of Balboa Park and expanding other articles, please list your name below. Even if you are unable to attend any meetings and/or events, additional tasks will need to be performed online, so I'd like to find out a general count for those would like to help in any scope. More details about dates and what types of activities will occur with come at a later date. I look forward to hearing from those interested! --Happy editing!

A review of the San Diego seals copyrights on wikicommons does not make sense to me:

User:Zscout370 "Zscout370 at en.wikipedia, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publishes it under the following licenses:".
File:San Diego City Seal.png states it is public domain as it is a work of the Federal Government.

Are these images correctly tagged? Is

The San Diego County portal (on the right) uses the City of San Diego seal; I presume that the San Diego County should be used. The portal button is shown in El Cajon, California, for instance as well as a number of other places. I am not sure how to change it. Would someone please change it or point me to a help page?

For WP:GLAM/BP, there will be a welcome event for interested editors to meet with Balboa Park staff and curators on Tuesday, July 5, at 5:00pm. We'll be able to go over Balboa Park and Wikipedia's goals over a provided dinner. They're planning on inviting many of the museum's curators and it would be helpful if we could get some editors to represent the San Diego Wikipedia community. If you're interested in attending, please sign up on the event page. For any questions, they can be posted on the event's talk page. --Happy editing!

Back in April I had inquired with other editors regarding the reliability of the source sandiegostreetcars.org and got only one response. I still question the reliabiilty of the source. Therefore there is an article that is only supported by the possible unreliable source San Diego Class 1 Streetcars; I have tagged it accordingly. Unless its notability can be established by verified reliable sources, I will ProD the article, or send it down AfD.

WP:CAL. Our project has 842 articles and
WP:CAL has 33,200 articles. Based on the general project activity level, number of participants, and the overlap in scope with
WikiProject California, I thank this project should be changed into a task force of
WP:CAL and remove {{

WikiProject California|sandiego = yes |sandiego-importance =}}

I'd like to ask some of you to take a look at the new article Central San Diego. I have a problem with it, which I detailed on the talk page. Basically, the author seems to have come up with their own definition of what constitutes "Central San Diego" and I can't find any external support for their definition. I think the article has merit and I'd like some help getting it into shape - or to know if in your opinion the article as written constitutes Original Research and has to be completely redone. Please discuss at the talk page. I already alerted the article's author to go there. Thanks. -- MelanieN ( talk) 23:28, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
I was thinking, perhaps we should give this a shot, work on it within a userspace or hosted by the WikiProject as an incubator, then launch it with the intent of a main page DYK. It's been around for some 20 years now since the first development sprouted up East of the 70's era development around Southwestern College
Would the Otay Ranch/Heritage Ranch area be considered part of the article? How about Rancho Del Rey (where I presently reside)?

Hi, all! An article called List of museums in San Diego County, California was recently renamed to List of museums in the Southern Border Region (California). The name change caused another editor to remove the link from the See Also section of San Diego County, California. The author of the list-article explains that the name was changed so that Imperial County's lone museum would be included. I have posted a discussion at Talk:List of museums in the Southern Border Region (California). Comments welcome. -- MelanieN ( talk) 03:18, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Who ever is responsible for stalking,or updating this catagory is more than likely on somebodys payola,or better yet just perhaps a plain hater! what entity besides wikipedia do you write for? hmmmmm...maybe some local magazines?maybe the reader?maybe sd raps??? or is it citybeat?
we noticed some delete happy user has been deleting articals of creation for san diego recording artist The Toven formally known as Raytoven in this catagory.So who are you?are you a artist yourself,some geek with special interest,or just fans of the artist you except?
So who are you? let the discussions beganrespectfully ofcourse... — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Toven ( talk • contribs) 22:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Response 1
sorry mrs devil not mr.toven your conversing with by we like how your reediting your comments trying to proove a senseless point.the only thing frustrating is your ignorance.
Response2
Ha Ha Actually their is a reference cited by a independent third party in the San-HOP INTERVIEW where has it been specifically determined that they aren't independent?
With all due respect melanieN THE "NOTABILITY" IS THERE IT JUST NEEDS TO BE EXCEPTED im curious,would you concider yourself notable? you clearly seem to fit into the catagory i mentioned above based on your emotional response.I guarantee you some of the garbage in regards to others already cited as music artist in this topic about southeast san diego was created in the same mannor.On a diffrent note the media only writes about people when they pay them to unless of course your on the a list and a few other reasons i wont mention!! so anyone can have this done for the purpose of referencing their artical weather they are "notable" or not dear.If you really want to talk san diego media or magazine we can just bring a lunch!!They can care less about real hip-hop or urban music in general.We both know what brand of artist san diego "writers" supports.
Second just because the user name is The Toven doesnt mean he is writing articals for himself.User names are like tissue!If i was writing a article about you i would name it you.Second if that was the case have you know individuals may submit sources on their own behalf so long as it adhere's to certain guidlines and the artical is not for example citing rocket science! (you should do your research)NO WIKI POLICY HAS BEEN VIOLATED lets be clear and if so point it out we complied with what user snowysusan respectfully requested.The other person that declined the article was BIASED.
Third of all there are a milion wiki articles posted that need notability yet they were excepted. I am not concerned because their will be no choice but to accept and post the artical for The Toven and sooner than you think!People like you dont get to decide who is notable or not you can only play games with the rules.

Even if it wasn't the case Wiki can find a reason to claim a violation occured so im not concerned.Bottom line is it's not about a "username" anyone that makes that the issue is avoiding the underlying!There has been no violation infact even though we are independant of him we recently contacted him and he obveously gave us permission for the username(would wiki believe the article if the user's name was Caillou?The whole article is legitament this is not a game! if their was any issues he would be the first to contact wiki or edit it..oh im sorry i guess that would be forbitten right and he couldn't dare use his own as a username right!All the wiki editors might suspect it's him. — Preceding

Please see WP:GNG & WP:BAND regarding notability that is required for a subject to have an article on Wikipedia. Per those policies we need to see significant coverage in secondary reliable sources. From my search I have found one mention in the San Diego Reader, however it is a deadlink therefore I can not verify if the article there would meet significant coverage requirements. As other editors have said, perhaps it is too soon for the subject to have an article, and maybe in the future with additional references an article can be built.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 01:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
wow ok right cow left coast who are you?
This has been attached and cited on the artical page San-Hop interview their having issues with their website they interviewed him and we have seen many wiki articles with one very similar refrence.magazines, websites,or papers are never independent of the source they are alway affilliated in one way or the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Toven ( talk • contribs) 01:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

and then you wake up! ha ha "coverage from the mainstream press"you must work for them!stop dreaming this will be resolved very soon and there is nothing you can or will do about!your just blabbering away and your hating dont need your apology and wiki will work for the artist/article we submitted your the one that wont!its not someones blog..your the blog dear.your trying to compare this article to walking on the moon.you should volunteer at the goodwill.your hiding behind a username and you think your God! another one of your kind exposed!!its not about being known as you put it its about doing something notable wouldn't matter if 2 people thought so.were not in a popularity contest for you or wiki.
chime in on that....dont think to long were wating.
your so anal on our artical im thinking we put togather a team to comb thru you pretty little sandbox of articles to make sure you been practcing what you preach ms california! Oakland standford congrats...and while were at we will start creating articles about the other san diego you have been ignoring does that sound good?by the way did you write the southeast san diego article? are you sre your not osessed with controll over san diego articles?maybe you should see someone for that with all due respect.

I need some help trying to moderate/resolve an edit war at the page Mira Mesa, San Diego. It began as an edit war over which map to include: one that shows the entire Mira Mesa Planning area, or one from the police department that shows the Mira Mesa neighborhood as a large portion (but not all) of the planning area. This edit war appears to be based on a Real Life "turf war" of several years duration, between the Mira Mesa interests (MM Planning Board and MM Town Council) who insist that the entire planning area should be called Mira Mesa, and the folks from Sorrento Valley and Sorrento Mesa who maintain that they are not Mira Mesa but their own neighborhoods. If you want you can read the whole argument starting with Talk:Mira Mesa, San Diego#Edit warring over maps; if you prefer you can skip directly to Talk:Mira Mesa, San Diego#Draft. My goal is simply to come up with a Wikipedia article that is accurate and fair, and if possible to keep the turf war out of it (since it doesn't seem to have been reported by any independent reliable sources). So far everyone in the discussion, other than myself, is a party to the dispute or at least has a local connection; I could really use some uninvolved opinions. Thanks for any input. -- MelanieN ( talk) 18:01, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!

Even if you are unable to attend any meetings and/or events, additional tasks will need to be performed online, so I'd like to find out a general count for those would like to help in any scope. More details about dates and what types of activities will occur with come at a later date. I look forward to hearing from those interested! --Happy editing!

A review of the San Diego seals copyrights on wikicommons does not make sense to me:
File:Seal Of San Diego, California.svg says
User:Zscout370 "Zscout370 at en.wikipedia, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publishes it under the following licenses:".
File:San Diego City Seal.png states it is public domain as it is a work of the Federal Government.
File:Seal of San Diego street sign.svg author:
User:Vrysxy "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses:"
Are these images correctly tagged? Is
File:San Diego County Seal.png appropriately tagged with copyright?

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Surfing Madonna (2nd nomination). I wasn't aware of this until I saw the wikipedia page. Take a gander and weigh in your opinion. -- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 03:26, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
The San Diego County portal (on the right) uses the City of San Diego seal; I presume that the San Diego County should be used. The portal button is shown in El Cajon, California, for instance as well as a number of other places. I am not sure how to change it. Would someone please change it or point me to a help page?

For WP:GLAM/BP, there will be a welcome event for interested editors to meet with Balboa Park staff and curators on Tuesday, July 5, at 5:00pm. We'll be able to go over Balboa Park and Wikipedia's goals over a provided dinner. They're planning on inviting many of the museum's curators and it would be helpful if we could get some editors to represent the San Diego Wikipedia community. If you're interested in attending, please sign up on the event page. For any questions, they can be posted on the event's talk page. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 02:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Back in April I had inquired with other editors regarding the reliability of the source sandiegostreetcars.org and got only one response. I still question the reliabiilty of the source. Therefore there is an article that is only supported by the possible unreliable source San Diego Class 1 Streetcars; I have tagged it accordingly. Unless its notability can be established by verified reliable sources, I will ProD the article, or send it down AfD.

It's been 10 months since I started the project back in October, I think this project is not big enough then
WP:CAL. Our project has 842 articles and
WP:CAL has 33,200 articles. Based on the general project activity level, number of participants, and the overlap in scope with
WikiProject California, I thank this project should be changed into a task force of
WP:CAL and remove {{
WikiProject San Diego}} banner and replace it with {{
WikiProject California|sandiego = yes |sandiego-importance =}}
based on the comments from the
talk page from WikiProject California and our project's
talk page. Any thoughts and comments?

I'd like to ask some of you to take a look at the new article Central San Diego. I have a problem with it, which I detailed on the talk page. Basically, the author seems to have come up with their own definition of what constitutes "Central San Diego" and I can't find any external support for their definition. I think the article has merit and I'd like some help getting it into shape - or to know if in your opinion the article as written constitutes Original Research and has to be completely redone. Please discuss at the talk page. I already alerted the article's author to go there. Thanks. -- MelanieN ( talk) 23:28, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
I was thinking, perhaps we should give this a shot, work on it within a userspace or hosted by the WikiProject as an incubator, then launch it with the intent of a main page DYK. It's been around for some 20 years now since the first development sprouted up East of the 70's era development around Southwestern College
Would the Otay Ranch/Heritage Ranch area be considered part of the article? How about Rancho Del Rey (where I presently reside)? It's expansion is a large reason for the growth of the city to one of the largest in the state and nation, so perhaps we can tackle it? -- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 02:02, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Would anybody mind taking a photograph of the entrance sign to the Donovan State Prison - 480 Alta Road San Diego, CA 92179 - See this google map image ?
It would be helpful for the article there.

Hi, all! An article called List of museums in San Diego County, California was recently renamed to List of museums in the Southern Border Region (California). The name change caused another editor to remove the link from the See Also section of San Diego County, California. The author of the list-article explains that the name was changed so that Imperial County's lone museum would be included. I have posted a discussion at Talk:List of museums in the Southern Border Region (California). Comments welcome. -- MelanieN ( talk) 03:18, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi folks, an image is badly needed for our pages on the Unarius Academy of Science. It's in El Cajon. Mark Arsten ( talk) 16:15, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Who ever is responsible for stalking,or updating this catagory is more than likely on somebodys payola,or better yet just perhaps a plain hater! what entity besides wikipedia do you write for? hmmmmm...maybe some local magazines?maybe the reader?maybe sd raps??? or is it citybeat?
we noticed some delete happy user has been deleting articals of creation for san diego recording artist The Toven formally known as Raytoven in this catagory.So who are you?are you a artist yourself,some geek with special interest,or just fans of the artist you except?
So who are you? let the discussions beganrespectfully ofcourse... — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Toven ( talk • contribs) 22:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Response 1
sorry mrs devil not mr.toven your conversing with by we like how your reediting your comments trying to proove a senseless point.the only thing frustrating is your ignorance.
Response2
Ha Ha Actually their is a reference cited by a independent third party in the San-HOP INTERVIEW where has it been specifically determined that they aren't independent?
With all due respect melanieN THE "NOTABILITY" IS THERE IT JUST NEEDS TO BE EXCEPTED im curious,would you concider yourself notable? you clearly seem to fit into the catagory i mentioned above based on your emotional response.I guarantee you some of the garbage in regards to others already cited as music artist in this topic about southeast san diego was created in the same mannor.On a diffrent note the media only writes about people when they pay them to unless of course your on the a list and a few other reasons i wont mention!! so anyone can have this done for the purpose of referencing their artical weather they are "notable" or not dear.If you really want to talk san diego media or magazine we can just bring a lunch!!They can care less about real hip-hop or urban music in general.We both know what brand of artist san diego "writers" supports.
Second just because the user name is The Toven doesnt mean he is writing articals for himself.User names are like tissue!If i was writing a article about you i would name it you.Second if that was the case have you know individuals may submit sources on their own behalf so long as it adhere's to certain guidlines and the artical is not for example citing rocket science! (you should do your research)NO WIKI POLICY HAS BEEN VIOLATED lets be clear and if so point it out we complied with what user snowysusan respectfully requested.The other person that declined the article was BIASED.
Third of all there are a milion wiki articles posted that need notability yet they were excepted. I am not concerned because their will be no choice but to accept and post the artical for The Toven and sooner than you think!People like you dont get to decide who is notable or not you can only play games with the rules.

Even if it wasn't the case Wiki can find a reason to claim a violation occured so im not concerned.Bottom line is it's not about a "username" anyone that makes that the issue is avoiding the underlying!There has been no violation infact even though we are independant of him we recently contacted him and he obveously gave us permission for the username(would wiki believe the article if the user's name was Caillou?The whole article is legitament this is not a game! if their was any issues he would be the first to contact wiki or edit it..oh im sorry i guess that would be forbitten right and he couldn't dare use his own as a username right!All the wiki editors might suspect it's him. — Preceding

Please see WP:GNG & WP:BAND regarding notability that is required for a subject to have an article on Wikipedia. Per those policies we need to see significant coverage in secondary reliable sources. From my search I have found one mention in the San Diego Reader, however it is a deadlink therefore I can not verify if the article there would meet significant coverage requirements. As other editors have said, perhaps it is too soon for the subject to have an article, and maybe in the future with additional references an article can be built.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 01:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
wow ok right cow left coast who are you?
This has been attached and cited on the artical page San-Hop interview their having issues with their website they interviewed him and we have seen many wiki articles with one very similar refrence.magazines, websites,or papers are never independent of the source they are alway affilliated in one way or the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Toven ( talk • contribs) 01:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
RESPONSE
and then you wake up! ha ha "coverage from the mainstream press"you must work for them!stop dreaming this will be resolved very soon and there is nothing you can or will do about!your just blabbering away and your hating dont need your apology and wiki will work for the artist/article we submitted your the one that wont!its not someones blog..your the blog dear.your trying to compare this article to walking on the moon.you should volunteer at the goodwill.your hiding behind a username and you think your God! another one of your kind exposed!!its not about being known as you put it its about doing something notable wouldn't matter if 2 people thought so.were not in a popularity contest for you or wiki.
chime in on that....dont think to long were wating.
your so anal on our artical im thinking we put togather a team to comb thru you pretty little sandbox of articles to make sure you been practcing what you preach ms california!

On the project page there is a list of San Diego related DYK articles.

I need some help trying to moderate/resolve an edit war at the page Mira Mesa, San Diego. It began as an edit war over which map to include: one that shows the entire Mira Mesa Planning area, or one from the police department that shows the Mira Mesa neighborhood as a large portion (but not all) of the planning area. This edit war appears to be based on a Real Life "turf war" of several years duration, between the Mira Mesa interests (MM Planning Board and MM Town Council) who insist that the entire planning area should be called Mira Mesa, and the folks from Sorrento Valley and Sorrento Mesa who maintain that they are not Mira Mesa but their own neighborhoods. If you want you can read the whole argument starting with Talk:Mira Mesa, San Diego#Edit warring over maps; if you prefer you can skip directly to Talk:Mira Mesa, San Diego#Draft. My goal is simply to come up with a Wikipedia article that is accurate and fair, and if possible to keep the turf war out of it (since it doesn't seem to have been reported by any independent reliable sources). So far everyone in the discussion, other than myself, is a party to the dispute or at least has a local connection; I could really use some uninvolved opinions. Thanks for any input. -- MelanieN ( talk) 18:01, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

i just did a little work on the portal, retiring the images and adding a few new ones, adding a panorama, a couple articles. i also found a tiny bit of material at the SD/Tijuana portal to add here. that portal i have MFD'd, as very out of date.

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
