[edit] Petaluma

Hi James! Thanks for contributing so much to the Petaluma article.

Can you tell me where you found the history of the town name? You wrote:

Petaluma got its name from the Miwok tribe called "Petalumas", who lived just north of the present town.

However, I could not find any reference to this fact in any literature about the city, so I removed it from the article for the time being. Please feel free to add it again, but make sure to cite your source.

Thanks! — Ke6jjj 07:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hi, James C. March, and welcome to WikiProject
San Francisco Bay Area!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles relevant to the Bay Area. Here are some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve Bay Area-related articles, so if people ask for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page. It is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, which you are welcome to participate.
  • Our system for improving lower-quality articles is Jumpaclass. If you'll be editing stub, start, or B-class articles, consider using Jumpaclass to track your progress.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign Bay Area topics.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.
