Talk:Moorpark, California

César Chávez

The farm finally closed in 1996, after a strike called by Cesar Chavez, and an employee was killed by a augur feeder.

Um, César Chávez died in 1993. Was he still calling for labor actions 3 years later? - Eric 02:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

City Seal And Picture?

Hi, I just inserted the infobox, and have cleaned up the moorpark, CA page. That would be great if someone out there could upload the Moorpark city seal, and pictures of moorpark, for the page.Chewbaccajones 16:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

This "Article" is a Joke

Did the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce create this article at taxpayer expense, or did the local real estate developers chip in?

This "article" is nothing but a self-serving puff piece that omits historical information that should be known to the public and replaces it with nonsense.

To wit, there is a whole paragraph about someone's pet tiger, but not one word about the huge coverup and rewriting of history that removes Moorpark from a list that should include the nuclear disaster in the Urals, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl. This is like 1984 and a whole rewriting of history. The sprawling tract of 1,100 homes built in Moorpark in the 1950s were much publicized as the first atomic powered community in 1957 (after the Reds had already done it in 1954), but after a secret meltdown there and a quick and quiet return to standard fuel/coal/etc. power, it was like, what atomic power? It was kept secret, but the community figured it out in 1989 after a high occurrence of cancer in the area. Here are two very relevant references on this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susana_Field_Laboratory

It isn't just radiation, the whole Moorpark area is a cesspool of harmful contaminants. I myself have heard them firing Space Shuttle motors there in recent years, putting thousands of tons of rocket fuel into the air each year. See what that has done with birth defects, etc. in Kazakhstan.

Can someone fix this or just delete it and make a new article with some balance and sensible references to known sources about this? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.211.40 (talk) 05:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Edits made

I have added NPOV material addressing a few rebuttable comments made by 208.127.211.40.

I encourage concerned readers to view the Sodium Reactor Experiment page and learn about the 1959 incident. The casually interested may find appealing the three period movies explaining various milestones in the life of the nuclear reactor. The more technically inclined may wish to consider the many available incident-related documents and decide for themselves the nature and severity of what 208.127.211.40 calls a "nuclear disaster."

"first atomic powered city"

Did someone forget about Arco, Idaho? I think they did! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arco,_Idaho — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.209.24.129 (talk) 07:46, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

I've tweaked the coordinates a bit to agree with sourced content in the text, but there don't appear to be any other problems. Deor (talk) 17:38, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
