There needs to be greater content on the demographics and basic geographic information on the page. Compared to the cities around Palos Verdes, there is substantially less information on the city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandonfu (talk • contribs) 20:19, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some things to consider when reading this article

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

Source on if Shigeru Miyamoto ever lived in the United States?

I’m glad if he did (living in the US myself), but we’re going to have to source that before adding it back in. 2600:8802:6604:3FC4:6D30:E822:44C:AC86 (talk) 07:53, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Landslides

Significant areas, ~700 acres in only one of several slide areas, of the peninsula appear to have land movement that is significant enough to threaten homes. And the movement has increased perhaps due to heavy rainfall in the last few years.
