[edit] Proper way to pronounce goleta?

is it pronounced like "Go-leet-a" or "Go-let-a"? 169.231.10.156 03:07, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Go-LEE-ta. That's the only way I have ever heard it. Antandrus (talk) 03:39, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

When english speaking people say it it's "Go-leet-a" when spanish people say it, it's "Go-let-a". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.154.109.225 (talk • contribs)

We are definitely "Go-LEE-tans"--unless, of course, you're speaking Spanish.

IPA:/ɡəʊleta/, I'll add that to the article. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 04:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seal

I've seen the city seal many times, especially on the police cars. Where is it on the internet? --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 03:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

They've redesigned their website, and taken it off most everywhere. You can still find it in the PDF downloads: a color version is in the Notice of Preparation of the Proposed City of Goleta Draft General Plan (link is here: [1]). Antandrus (talk) 02:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirected?

i got here from a link on the 'list of massacres' page & the 'goleta postal massacre' page,shouldnt that only be about the shooting and not the entire history of the town?,the link to va tech shootings or any other on the list of massacres dont have the whole history of the town.

im not the best wiki-editor but i think i can create the page and just use the info from here.

any objections?

See Wikipedia:Redirects. I'm a tad confused about what you're trying to do. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 03:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

just to clairfy my previous comment, when i clicked the link 'goleta postal massacre' it went to 'goleta,ca' page...see the difference,on is the city and the other is the shootings,i was at the page 'list of massacres' not list of cities,make sense now?4tildes_3:59pm_10/15/7 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Otis66Driftwood (talk • contribs) 20:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goleta CDP area and population

The use of official 2000 census area and population figures is highly inaccurate for this article, as the borders of the incorporated city of Goleta in no way resemble Goleta CDP as it existed in the 2000 census. Backspace 04:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it is mentioned, is it not? The 'Demographics' section applies only to the CDP. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 03:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

That's correct--it's made clear in the very first paragraph. We could repeat it at the first occurrence of "CDP" in the demographics section if anyone wants. Antandrus (talk) 03:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed info

This was removed from the article. If anybody could find a source for this, it should be put back in. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 18:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popular Culture

-Goleta is featured in an episode entitled "Psy vs. Psy" from the USA Network's televison show Psych, where guest star Bianca Kajlich, who plays his psychic nemesis, was found to be lying about her where abouts when Shawn Spencer proves that she passed 17 different starbucks and met with the killer in Goleta, at a fictional cofee shop called the "Goleta Gulp".

[edit] Lake Los Carneros

If the seasonal Lake Los Carneros is counted, then shouldn't the census data show more than 0.1 sq mi of water? And there are a large number (3-4?) of creeks running through the city. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 06:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article review
