This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
The infobox for this article claims that the nearest city to this memorial is Oakland. A quick glance at even the most rudimentary map of the area will show that this is far from the truth (22 miles from the truth in fact!). Does a city have to have an NFL team or something to be considered for proximity to a National Park Service site? Here's a list of 36 incorporated cities that are closer to this memorial than Oakland. The first dozen or so cities marked (*) in this list are considerably closer (less than half the distance to Oakland): Concord(*), Martinez(*), Benicia(*), Pittsburg(*), Clayton(*), Pleasant Hill(*), Walnut Creek(*), Lafayette(*), Crockett(*), Rodeo(*), Hercules(*), Vallejo(*), Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood, Orinda, Moraga, Alamo, Danville, Pinole, San Pablo, Richmond, El Sobrante, El Cerrito, Kensington, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Canyon, Piedmont, American Canyon, Fairfield, Suisun, Rio Vista, Vacaville, and even Napa.
I have not yet removed Oakland from that infobox because I am still trying to determine the actual or intended purpose of having the nearest city listed. Concord and Martinez are the most obvious candidates to take over Oakland's undeserved mantle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisJBenson (talk • contribs) 07:29, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
