Item on David Bruce Winery and the 1976 Paris Judgement has been moved to the Santa Cruz County, California page because the winery in question was in that county:
- The Santa Cruz vineyard of the David Bruce Winery (with vineyards in both Sonoma and Santa Cruz counties) was selected for competition in the historic Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, which revolutionized the world of wine (Tabor, p.167-169).
The corresponding reference was also moved

- The long winery list in this article is cumbersome and probably should go into a separate article with branching ref in this article. what do others think? Anlace 18:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unincorporated Settlements
All unincorporated settlements (some mostly historic) added for someone to expand. Taken from USGS maps and Compass Maps' Santa Rosa and Sonoma, Petaluma and Sonoma County (ISBN 156575235X). At the time of purchase (circa 1995), this map was very outdated, but the settlement names match entries on USGS maps for Sonoma County.

Since the cities and unicorporated settlements are in both the main article and at the end in a template box, perhaps they should just be in one place.

[edit] Darned Wikitable
One thing I noticed while checking the results of the Geo and Transpo realignment, is that the Wikitable of national claims to the land is not displaying properly. The text seems to be overlapping into the flag cells... Edit Centric 19:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, must have been a screen glitch, cleared my browser cache, went back, and now it's displaying properly. Again, hmm... Edit Centric 07:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] overly cumbersome lists
The lengths of the wineries and film sections are out of balance with needed breadth of coverage in other expansion areas. perhaps each (wineries and films) should have its own separate sub article. this article badly needs expansion on such topics as geology, history, prehistory, ecology, land use and culture. so the breadth issues must be proportionate to the topic importance. what do others think?
