This page has some painfully obvious errors that I don't exactly know how to address other than bringing up in this discussion page. Firstly, it needs to cite its source for the 2000 census. That leads to the second problem. Am I the only one to seriously doubt that the average male yearly income is zero dollars, whereas the average female yearly income is just over 92,000 dollars? I know many male workers in Portola Valley anyways so this is clearly false. I'd be much obliged if someone could locate the original source for this data and correct this horrendous factual error.

The error has been fixed. The problem was that the US Census data listed the male income at 100,000+, whereas the bot that was used to fill in the data was expecting a number without any extra symbols. BlankVerse 22:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Portola Valley seal.png

Image:Portola Valley seal.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Bill Lane

A quick poke around Google suggests there's arguably enough information on Bill Lane to produce a separate article on him under the notability criteria. There's already a Bill Lane article in the system, and would require more research, but I figured it was worth mentioning. --Joe Decker (talk) 15:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
