A fact from Tolay Lake appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Tolay Lake has yielded thousands of charmstones thrown into the lake by prehistoric peoples to invoke health and high crop yields?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.

Stub?

This article is still tagged as a stub, though it has become rather substantial -- thanks mostly to a lot of hard work on Anlace's part, it looks like. If nobody objects, I think it's time to remove the "stub" tag (and probably ask for re-assessment from the projects listed above, too, though I'd leave that to someone more familiar with the way wikiprojects are run).

Wow Analce! No article to B, maybe GA! 4 points! —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-03-08 07:02Z

Importance in SFBA Project

This article should rate higher in importance for SFBA because it is the only lake which has significant Native American artefacts retrieved in large numbers of high quality items (eg charmstones). It is also the active subject of conversion to a public parkland and offers one of the most important restoration opportunities for a freshwater lake in northern california. Further it is the home of several endangered species. Anlace 17:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

that makes it interesting, but not important enough to warrant "high"status, which is reserved for much more important topics for the project, like all the major cities, bridges, bodies of water etc.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Habitat Restoration

I tagged the Infineon remark because it looks to me like the raceway is more Southeast than north of the park. The whole paragraph seems a bit POV, especially since one can't hear the raceway from most of the park area at all. Unless someone can come up with a reliable reference indicating that there is a specific problem relevant to Tolay, I'm inclined to remove the whole passage about sound effects on wildlife, since it's hypothetical, potential, or off-topic.--Wcoole (talk) 19:29, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
