[edit] Article needs major work
This article oozes like a chamber of commerce brochure. It contains so many unverfied claims, uncited information spouted as fact and speculation on future events that I lost track of what year I was in while reading it. It needs major rewriting to brought up to Wikipedia standards. Also, I'm from Chula Vista... the sprawling 'McMansions' at Eastlake country club are not indicative of a "typical suburban nieghborhood in Chula Vista" I am changing the caption of that photo 67.124.202.98 15:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

- The flag is the city seal in maroon on a white background. There is a maroon stripe along the bottom of said flag. The nickname is "Chula Juana" because of its proximity to the border, but is generally used in a derogatory fashion. -DavDaven 04:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- So, the flag looks something like the following? Image:Cvflag.PNG

- Has anyone heard of a baseball team, the Tijuana Toros of the Golden League coming to Chula Vista next year? The Toros didn't get the right ballpark in that side of the border. Chula Vista has a facility for a Western League team in 2001. Keep me up to date and add that announcement to the article. + 207.200.116.6 04:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Eastlake Emancipation
Have you ever been somewhere in San Diego County and overheard or where maybe involved in a conversation when someone may ask "what city do you live in?" or "where are you from?" and people respond "Eastlake, CA" or "Eastlake" Well as we all know, Eastlake is not a city. People just want to differentiate and eloquently put it as saying they are not in Chula Vista, but indeed they are.
I live in Rancho Del Rey, my mom is in Otay Ranch, but I still represent and say Chula Vista when someone asks me where I am from. What is it with people trying to fake it like they are not part of the city?
[edit] No mention of Chulajuana?
Wow, is this entry sugar coated! There's no mention of its derisive nickname, "Chulajuana." --24.249.108.133 22:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Population totals?
"According to the 2000 census, the city's population was 173,556."
"As of 2005 there were 173,556 people, 57,705 households, and 43,567 families residing in the city"
It is very hard to accept that both of this statements could be true; identical populations 5 years apart. Dbiel (Talk) 01:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- I tried to update the info. --Eric Bekins 01:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
Reset class to match edit note of Cashman. This page falls short of "B" for following reasons:
- Not useful to all readers. Anyone seeking data on natural features, infrastructure, transportation and many other topics will be left in the cold.
- Referencing is incredibly light for a city article. A "B" class article would typically have three to six times as many referencesFeralfeline 04:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
