[edit] A few problems

I have a few problems with this article. First, the nearby institutions of higher education aren't really relevant to the article, but for now I won't remove them from the article. Second, how is the nearest city 2.3 miles away from Rowland Heights? Theoretically shouldn't the nearest city be zero miles away? Unless we're talking about from the center of Rowland, but that should be clarified. WHS 02:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe that some of the information came from this website. As far as the nearest city is corcerned, it's almost always from the city's center or downtown. --Moreau36; 0327, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Various changes

• I removed the paragraph on Roy Humphreys as non-notable and unverifiable. I didn't find anything in a google search for his name except for a letter he sent to a local newspaper. The section was also not NPOV, although this wasn't the reason for removal, as it could have been rewritten if he was notable or had any sources on him.
• I moved some paragraphs from the history section into a new section called politics. I'm not sure if everything in it should be there--there's only one google search result (a link on a homeowner's association site) for the Rowland Heights Advocates for CityHood apart from their own website. Nevertheless, I left everything there for now. MrVibrating 03:27, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
