Declared in the article as sandstone unique to the area - I was informed by a knowlegable guide that it is Redwall Limestone, which is also found in lower portions of the Grand Canyon. Is there a geologist out there? - Leonard G. 03:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Why no image of Bell Rock? Fred Bauder 20:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC) (This edit was just for fun while showing someone from Sedona the article)
I just visited Sedona for the first time. While being stunned by the geology and scenery, I was also saddened by the degree to which the developed town has sprawled over what seems to be nearly every flat surface at the foot of the beautiful red cliffs. Surely the aesthetic damage done by suburban style houses and expensive resorts ought to be part of any responsible discussion of the town and region of Sedona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melampous ( talk • contribs) 22:10, December 25, 2006
The issue with the Sedona development is an increasing one. However, without the development of resorts, hotels, roads and such, tourist would crowd the town. Most of the developments that have been made around Sedona are to benefit the locals. The locals need the roads and the expansion because of the rapid increase in tourist traffic. This is a natural increase that can't be stopped. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.164.196.100 ( talk) 20:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC).
When Sedona incorporated in 1988, the city government inherited zoning codes from the two counties. The city instituted a Community Plan per state law, but the plan often conflicts with the existing zoning codes. Nevertheless, development is governed by a combination of the codes and the Sedona Community Plan. Residential and commercial development is roughly 80 percent built-out,according to city documents. -- Cyndy Hardy ( talk) 16:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Editor Mjtrayner believes that a cross-reference to the Kia Sedona automobile is a "Kia Motors (car company) advertisment which has absolutely nothing to do with Sedona AZ"
The cross-reference is here because the main entry for this model is the Kia Carnival, its name outside the USA & Canada. Not even remotely an advertisement. I've restored the link. Pete Tillman 20:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The

Wikipedia is sorely lacking in this kind concisely-hilarious esoteric-talk-page exchange. Wish I knew how to find more of this Scyllagist ( talk) 12:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
We have this listed as an annual event, but Google can find no mention of a 2007 or 2008 event (last was 2006). Is it dead? Thanks, Pete Tillman ( talk) 18:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I know there was one in 2007, in the early summer I think. 12.164.197.120 ( talk) 15:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
This area is known for some bizarre paranormal matters, such as UFOs and contact with bizarre creatures and even aliens. Google "Sedona, Arizona/Paranormal matters", related matters. 65.173.104.93 ( talk) 02:08, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Why is this even enumerated? A million freakin' celebrities have been to Cleveland. The Cleveland, Ohio page doesn't have a list of celebrities who have visited it. Why is this important? Sure, ones who have lived here -maybe- but pretty much every other city only has people who were born or raised there. I'm gonna go add to the Denver, CO page now that Bernie Kosar visited the city several times in the 1980s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.49.157.67 ( talk) 19:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Sunset? In the photo, the sky is light blue and the shadows are at a 45 degree angle. I'd say it's more like "Sedona at mid-afternoon." GeneCallahan ( talk) 21:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
As per WP:Famous Residents I've removed the Notable Residents sections. Of the people listed, all failed to meet the Famous Residents policy criteria. Specifically:
"The person must be or must have been a true resident of the location itself; not a seasonal resident; not a resident of a nearby locale or community. Such residence must be verifiable through cited, reliable sources."
and
"The person's notability must derive from the location OR the person must have derived the basis for their notability in that location OR the person must hold some significance to the location in general."
I'm certainly willing to entertain a discussion, but I thought I'd give WP:Be bold a shot. :) Cory Donnelly ( talk) 13:59, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
I've deleted the incomplete, malformed source given as the "population reference" in the {{ Infobox settlement}} for this article. Here's what was there:
and here's what it replaced, from the 2007 census, in a 15:36, 2 August 2011 (UTC) edit:
It looks to me like the editor didn't copy the entire URL and accidentally overwrote the "title" and part of the "publisher" arguments for the {{ cite web}} template, rather than updating them. The result is a big, red, broken-reference error in the References section of this article. I attempted to divine the information from the newly cited Census Bureau website, but it's a typical inscrutable Federal database that's friendlier to professional researchers (and probably hackers) than to ordinary mortals who expect common web interfaces. So I left in the updated data but fact-tagged it.
Besides asking for the community to dig up a working source for this information, I ask every editor to PLEASE preview your edits before your save. It takes a few extra seconds, but it often saves you the embarrassment and everyone else plenty of headaches trying to fix things. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
The whole "Sedona: The Movie" section and the link at the bottom were clearly only added for self-promotion and do not belong in an encyclopedic article on Sedona. Shouldn't this be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.181.105 ( talk) 11:23, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

24.121.25.164 ( talk · contribs), As I stated on your talk page, I reverted your change at Sedona, Arizona, as it does not meet Wikipedia requirements. Specifically, all wording must be in a neutral tone, without adding words of praise or other value-laden wording. More importantly, Wikipedia is not a travel guide; descriptions of activities and sights are to be sharply limited. -- Larry/Traveling_Man ( talk) 18:08, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Yes, there are a lot of specific dates, information and sources on the Sedona, Arizona discussion.Each section is broken up into small parts and cited.
Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? This information is coming from actual facts. They are not someones bias views or opinions. There are actual dates, heights, rocks and so on that are actually a part of Sedona, AZ. A lot of the information comes from books or news articles.

This term (with quotes) is mentioned twice in one of the picture captions (the one for the File:Vortex panoramicview sedona.jpg) but there is no other use of the term in the article that I could find. It should either be in the article , or removed from the caption, I think. (the caption seems taken verbatim or close to it from the caption on the image, and there is mention of "vortices" in the cultural section of the article but it all seems not very well hung together to me) ++ Lar: t/ c 17:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
I was hoping to learn from this page about how it is that Sedona developed the new age/spiritual vortex tourist industry it is (in)famous for. But besides a mention of the harmonic convergence movement of 1987 there is little info here. ScottMainwaring ( talk) 16:09, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
There is grammatical difficulties in the sentence:"Racing video game Forza ....are appears fictional track Sedona Raceway Park" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boutarfa Nafia ( talk • contribs) 13:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
The area of Sedona, Arizona, is listed one way in the body of the article and another in the header of the article. There is currently a discrepancy of about 1 square mile between the two, but seeing as how the article's body cites the U.S. Census Bureau with its information, it is especially confusing that the area is listed differently at the top of the article. It seems very ambiguous where the header got its area measurement from. 24.56.243.156 ( talk) 20:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
