[edit] Districts

I'm not sure most of the districts here merit articles of their own. How much is there to say about Banker's Hill? Perhaps eventually as WT grows? I'm trying to fill in the important ones - La Jolla, Balboa Park, Mission Bay.--justfred 18:29, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

Also under Districts it list South Park and Golden Hill as the same area (also known as). This is incorrect. South Park is its own area, distinguished by official City signs. The area's are right next to each other, however they are not one in the same. Here is a link to the district maps:

I reorganized the districts based on the above link. I didn't fill in all of them, but the groupings help keep the list more readable. I deleted the links to neighborhoods that weren't on that page that didn't have articles. Also, I merged Mission Bay & Mission Beach. -- Jonboy 22:10, 26 January 2007 (EST)

[edit] Identify image?

It has been asked which street this image is from. -- Jonboy 11:58, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] some orthopedic hospital

For the second or third time, some anonymous contributor has spammed the San Diego page with a blurb about their orthopedic hospital. But Wikitravel is a guide for travelers, and while general hospital information may be useful to them, specific orthopedic hospitals would not be places sought out by someone on a vacation. See Wikitravel:Goals and non-goals.

For this reason, I will be removing the link yet again. —The preceding comment was added by Blackberrylaw (talk • contribs) .

Links to that hospital have shown up in Southern California, San Diego, San Diego County and Encinitas. At this point it seems reasonable to question whether the submitter's goal is to improve the travel guides, since it looks like they're simply trying to get some free advertising - and as you've pointed out, edits that aren't meant to improve the guides for travelers are definitely against the spirit of the Wikitravel:Goals and non-goals. Should these links appear again it probably wouldn't hurt to add the URL in question to the Wikitravel:Spam filter unless the submitter can provide a valid reason why travelers need this info. -- Ryan • (talk) • 02:34, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
