[edit] Vurbank train robbery

The Burbank Train Robbery (and hidden treasure) is mentioned in the crime section. I'm not sure it's legit. See http://wesclark.com/burbank/train_robbery.html - BTW, the Burbank Historical Society knows nothing about a Burbank Train Robbery... Jonah Begone (talk) 15:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I removed the sections about the Burbank Train Robbery and the supposed hidden gold treasure. I did some research and I'm convinced that it was actually a Sun Valley Train Robbery. See http://wesclark.com/burbank/train_robbery.html (scroll to bottom). Jonah Begone (talk) 14:30, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced material in need of sourcing

I'm moving the following unsourced list of notable residents from the article here until it can be properly sourced per WP:V/WP:NOR, etc. I have also removed the completely unsourced paragraphs on Amelia Earhart and Jim Jeffries, as Earhart was not a resident, and Jeffries was already on the list. There's no reason for these two people to have entire paragraphs, and the rest of the notables not to, and if the material on Earhart's flights from Burbank is accurate, it can be added elsewhere in the article, and with sources. A section on residents isn't it. Nightscream (talk) 07:06, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Cartoon Network Studios building, old bakery?

Anyone remember the name of the wholesale bakery in the old brick building that Cartoon Network Studios took over in 1999? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 21:57, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] "estimated" population as of 2010?

Why does it say "estimated"? Isn't it the "official" population per the 2010 census? Someone please explain... Famartin (talk) 05:44, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
