[edit] Initial assessment

This article is way beyond a stub, but needs more substance to advance. Anlace 23:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

to Calwatch: please provide a more precise statement than "many residents are believed to be illegal immigrants." A percentage, hard number, etc. I have attempted to put a more objective statement in the Demographics section. Truthiness 22:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

See Los Angeles Times, September 15, 2003, "In Housing Density, It's Too Close for Comfort; The poor are crammed and rules are tested in Santa Ana, the nation's most crowded big city". Edited to reflect claim. Calwatch 04:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Having been to Santa Ana my impression is that a large portion of the citizenry are unable to speak English. I've had some trouble with a public servent, such a thing would probably not be possible unless a large population using spanish primarily was present. Jarwulf 16:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


Why was the link for the Csd, a great underground hip hop crew deleted? Is it because they are a hiphop crew? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.34.27.100 (talk • contribs)

The were deleted because they were not notable. BlankVerse 05:00, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


I appreciate all the information here, but would find the the map more useful if it included major traffic arteries to act as a frame of reference. Thank you for all your hard work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.60.160.213 (talk • contribs) 09:19, 7 April 2006

[edit] City Seal

I'm not sure a transparent .gif image is the best choice of an image to use for the city seal. It is unreadable on the white background of the infobox. I recommend someone find an image that is not transparent. --Lyght 22:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Fixed the logo (and map). Transparency images don't resize well. --MarsRover 05:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Hummm, that logo doesn't match the seal on the official city web site. --MarsRover 05:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OMB Link

The OMB link is to a disambiguation page. I didn't know which OMB was meant.

[edit] The Angels and Ducks

If you bring up the Angels and Ducks in Anaheim, then you open the article to possibly having to include a whole slew of other topics:

  • the closest concert amphitheater is in Irvine
  • the largest local university is Cal State Fullerton
  • etc.

Plus, for many decades the Dodgers were the more popular team among Santa Ana residents. Why not mention that they are located up the freeway too? What about Chivas USA, which is also very popular in the area? The teams in Anaheim should be left out, or at least reserved for the Orange County, California article.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Seal SantaAna small.png

Image:Seal SantaAna small.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
