[edit] Transit System
Where the article says "Metrolink is the only convenient way to get to and from Los Angeles..." wouldn't it be more accurate written "The Metrolink commuter rail line is the only convenient form of public transportation to and from Los Angeles..." As I find the freeway a much more convenient way to get to Los Angeles, with the trip rarely taking much more than an hour. Fried Brice 08:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree. I support the change you suggested.JWut89LA (talk) 19:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Seal rialto.png
Image:Seal rialto.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nickname "Rathole" for Rialto
When I was a kid living in Rialto in the 70s we called Rialto Junior High School "Rathole" to differentiate between it and Kolb JHS where I was enrolled for two years. We didn't ever call the city "Rathole" because we were proud of its better atmosphere as compared to San Bernardino. My mom remembers her Pacific High School time in the 50s living in San Bernardino as one where they would call Rialto High School "Rathole" whenever they came together to compete in sports. A handful of modern Myspace entries that refer to Rialto as "Rathole" or "Rat hole" exist, showing that the nickname is still in use today. Its focus seems to have shifted to the city itself.
Other instances of "Rathole" crop up nationwide, especially when a movie theater named Rialto becomes old and ill-maintained. Such theaters with "Rathole" nicknames are in Cedar Rapids, IA, Cape Girardeau, MO, Sunbury, PA and Poughkeepsie, NY, to name a few. I imagine anything Rialto can be called Rathole as a derogatory nickname.
However, all this is from blogs and original research; not enough of a solid reference for Wikipedia. I don't think "Rathole" is going to be supported enough to stick here in this article. Binksternet (talk) 20:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- I just want to add that I have no clue about Rialto, I simply noticed this and made that after a quick "google research". At least, rialto "rat hole" -wikipedia has much fewer google hits than, e.g., sacramento "rat hole" -wikipedia, that does not supply this "nickname" for Rialto. --Cyfal (talk) 21:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
