Talk:Vista, California

Diversity edit

Diversity

Vista has one of Southern California's only two Japanese American cultural centers, due to the North County region's large Japanese community and historical presence in the agricultural industries going back to the 1890s. There are also large numbers of Filipino Americans and Chinese Americans per ratio of city population, as well in the nearby college town of San Marcos (see CSU San Marcos).

Due to the presence of the Camp Pendleton U.S. Marine Corps Base in the neighboring city of Oceanside, Vista has one of the largest mainland U.S. communities of Pacific Islanders, primarily Micronesian peoples (i.e. Guam and Northern Mariana Islands) and Samoan Americans, and 2.5 percent of Vista's population is American Indians, mostly from the Southwest and Western interior.

Vista has a Hispanic/Latin American plurality (largest ethnic group) community, a common thing in much of San Diego County and communities facing the Mexican border. The Hispanic/Latino community is represented by Mexican Americans as well as some Central American, South American and Caribbean American nationalities, and even Spanish American and Portuguese American groups from past immigration from Spain and Portugal. The section of Buena on the southeast end of the city has a multigenerational barrio, but many races and cultures live there.

Moved from main article to here

Seems to be a "drive by" edit by an anonymous editor. The references don't match, particularly http://www.sdalliance.org/cms/files/Q&A_Norberto_Salazar.pdf , which is for "Chula Vista." U.S. Census demographics is more neutral statement of facts which is already used in article. Recommend total deletion of this diversity section. Paulvta (talk) 13:23, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Updates

This page is due for some updates including recent history, 2020 and later demographics, etc. I have been working on adding some information but having issues with edits being repeatedly undone en masse without specific reasons why for each edit. Creating this section for discussion to avoid edit warring. 76.232.123.103 (talk) 02:58, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

You've made a lot of edits, and the revert reasons are given in the edit summaries, So it's a challenge to assign reasons for each edit. I recommend doing the edits in "chunks", separating sets of edits based on reasons they might be challenged. That way, the edits that aren't a problem can endure. _signed, Willondon (talk) 03:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm fairly new to editing, but is there a reason why individual parts of edits can not be challenged or removed instead of reverting an entire set of edits? Many of the parts that were reverted were not actually addressed in the edit summaries and are factually supported with references. Is there a Wikipedia editing policy to add/edit one statement at a time (genuinely asking)? 76.232.123.103 (talk) 08:13, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

There is no such policy. And there's no reason edit issues can't be addressed individually, but will they often comes down to how much effort is required to do that (including the mental effort needed for judgement). I've done it occasionally where issues are easily separated and it's a straight forward job to revert an edit, then add back the unobjectionable parts. But the more issues are in the mix, the less likely they are to get separated out. Looking back, I see you have been editing in chunks, which is good. My further recommendation would be to edit in chunks with regards to time. Make an edit and leave it a day or two to see if it gets challenged before proceeding with other edits. My two cents. _signed, Willondon (talk) 17:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

User:Magnolia677 I wanted to start a discussion about the edit you published which removed the Native American history from the "History" section. I would like to add it back because it is a valid part of the history of the land that Vista, CA now sits on. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cities/US_Guideline opines that the History section should include:

   original inhabitants/pioneers
   original settlements

Please add a diff of the particular edit you are referring to. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:30, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Here is the diff. Upon review it looks likely that you inadvertently deleted the sentence in question, so I've added it back for now. 76.232.123.103 (talk) 07:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
