Marin County, California
→Overview: Okay, it's pov but so was the original statement. And this is actually what happened. People involved in farming, manufacturing (yes, Marin had LOTS of manufacturing), and other less lucrative careers were pushed aside by finance and insurance. This was also a factor. Around 1980 the Pacific Sun found that over 50% of current residents had lived in Marin fewer than five years. Big change in population ~~~~

Marin County, California
removed that because it was misleading and unimportant. There was ALWAYS a jail in the civic center, from the beginning. The expansion was created underground to AVOID CHANGING the structure. As such, unless you are imprisoned there, you wouldn't even know it exists ~~~~Tag: references removed

Sitka, Alaska
→Territorial Alaska: the idiom is generally control, not power. Perhaps that's because a human cannot "power" a territory, but they can control it (more or less. Politically and as far as other humans go, at any rate.) ~~~~

Sitka, Alaska
→Russian America: obviously they did NOT call it "redoubt" anything. Look at the word. "Fort", as plain as the nose on your face, even in Russian. No need to be pompous ~~~~

Sand Point, Alaska
→Transportation: complaining about prices is not the place for wikipedia. Additionally, even if the claims are correct and wikipedia were the place for it, the figures substantiating the process would need to be documented. Also, if Sand Point doesn't have roads, then why do people rent cars ? to sit in and make vrooom vroom noises ?~~~~

Orca attacks
→1970s: A "solid-hull dinghy" ? What, it was a dugout canoe ? Or a pointy floating log ? puh-lease let's stick with real-world (r) words, if at all possible ~~~

Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base
→External links: I removed this link as it redirected to some Microsoft spam. Not sure if this is a local issue or what, but tried three times from separate ip's and locations, got the same result. If it's on my end, please revert. But I don' think it is .... ~~~~

Edmund Kemper
→First murders: Does it improve the article to know it was a 22 or does it just add words ? Would it have been different if he'd use a 30-06 ? What color were his socks that day ? Details that help an image are useful. Meaningless words just get in the way (Ernest Hemingeway said that.) ~~~~

Edmund Kemper
→Imprisonment: I removed that section because it wasn't honest. Even according to that text, Kemper did *nothing* except make a very black joke. If the other person "felt threatened" then it was the other person's problem, not Kemper. Maybe I "feel threatened" by Tinkerbelle, but that doesn't make Tink threatening, if you catch my meaning ~~~~

A Perfect World
→Plot: "molest" has a different meaning these days. It was evident that the Bad Guy intended to hurt, kill, damage, or otherwise harm Phillip but 'molest' was not even hinted at ~~~~

Joe Gibbs Racing
→Car No. 20 history: I'm sure that another driver spilled their Pepsi in their lap or [i]they[/i] would have won but according to the rules, Stewart did. So it's not "controversial." No need for excess b.s. in these things ~~~~Tag: references removed

Joe Gibbs Racing
The team, Joe Gibbs Racing, is a 'which' and the subject of the sentence. Joe is a 'who' and he [i]never[/i] started racing, since as far as I know he doesn't drive. Grammar ~~~~

Inside Passage
NO ! Who writes this wrong stuff ? It is NEVER referred to as the inland passage, except INCORRECTLY. The northwest passage / inland passage is a different kettle of fish entirely !! ~~~~

Inside Passage
They are NOT "ocean-going." That's the point of the word "inside". Replaced with ships and boats to cover large and small, that should cover everything from canoes to tankers ~~~~

China Camp State Park
→Chinese settlement: actually, the new regulations were because the existing practices had decimated the shrimp. The Bay shrimp which USED to be so plentiful have never really returned. But that doesn't fit the Poor Me narrative so I'll restrict the edit to facts. ~~~~

Detroit Diesel Series 92
→External links: I removed the "fire truck" link because it was shot at night from half a mile away and showed almost nothing of the truck or the engine, which is what this article is supposed to be about. Was not a useful addition to the article ~~~~
