Whomever edited the disambiguation for Rosemead is invited to do so for the cluster of San Gabriel Valley Cities I am working on: Temple City, Arcadia, Monterey Park, El Monte, San Gabriel etc. Happy editing! Thanks! Shalom! DocOfSoc (talk) 07:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This had been discussed in other articles and consensus was it should be included. I will be back with examples. This editor has been making Tendentious edits on other articles in which I am involved. Please cease and desist. DocOfSoc (talk) 07:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:http://www.whittierdailynews.com/elections/ci_17275415

The section isn't right. See http://articles.latimes.com/2005/mar/10/local/me-walmart10 The two candidates whose names are not mentioned are Polly Low and John Tran. Also, John Nunez also got in because of anti-Wal-Mart sentiment. The total spent by Wal-Mart is also not correct, though it was probably just the timing of everything. http://cal-access.ss.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1013468&view=contributions&session=2005 As I remember it, they spent over $400,000 then. The Times didn't write a good article. The gist of my point - sentiment against Wal-Mart led to a lot of activity against it, and resulted in a lot of political activity.

Also, another aspect is that later, Stephen Ly got in as a pro-Wal-Mart candidate. It might also be noted that the main organization opposing was the HOA at Amber Wood townhouses across the street, when the HOA president Larry Bevington organized to oppose the City Council deciding to pay for a $250,000 sign on the freeway, as a perk to Wal-Mart. That is what got the ball rolling to build an opposition. BTW, this is John Kawakami writing this. I was involved in opposing the project, in Save Our Community. (I wrote the paragraph above, too.) 12.192.87.10 (talk) 18:03, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These buildings additionally depicted in the infobox are in fact in San Gabriel:

• Garvey, Rosemead, CA, USA - panoramio (220).jpg and
• Garvey, Rosemead, CA, USA - panoramio (60).jpg,

The file names are wrong. No problem about this, but here is not the right page to display them. I remove them from the infobox. ThomasPusch (talk) 13:08, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
