message: There really should be a section for this or at least a subsection.  Just having it in the history makes it hard to find when you are looking for it. --Hadees (talk) 06:43, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree. This was a very unpleasant circumstance, but one that could be simply referred to, with a link to the longer article on the subject. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 16:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Regarding the line:
  Kern County is home to the world's largest open pit mine at Boron, which mines borax.
I believe this to be false.  It is California's largest open-pit mine, and it may be the world's largest borate mine, but there's several larger open-pit mines in the world.

message: Regarding the comment that Kern County is one of TWO counties split by Nielsen into two media marketplaces. While this is certainly notable, I believe there are are more than two in California alone. Off the top of my head I can think of Riverside (split between Los Angeles/Palm Springs/Phoenix) and Solano (split between San Francisco and Sacramento). To make things even more interesting in the case of Riverside, stations from the El Centro-Yuma DMA are more considered the "local market" in the Phoenix DMA viewing area, and at least one TV station from San Diego is received in the Temecula-Murrieta area (Los Angeles DMA). I believe San Bernardino for statistical purposes is considered Los Angeles DMA, but Arbitron, a former Nielsen competitor, placed the eastern half of San Bernardino in its "Phoenix ADI", and I believe a few Las Vegas stations are received in this area as well. Anyway getting on a tangent, here as it is not germane to the case of Kern County, just pointing out that I believer there are more than two in California alone. --Larry G 09:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The single most notable thing about Kern County is that it's the setting for The Grapes Of Wrath. I can't believe that that's not even mentioned in the article. I mean, I understand it's not very flattering, but it's what the place is known for. How is it not even mentioned? Anonymous
????
The Grapes of Wrath was set in Oklahoma, and Santa Clara County, where Steinbeck also resided, when he wrote it. It was not set in Kern County.

replies: text: Huh? Slow answer, but: That's not true. It starts in Oklahoma, goes across Route 66, and ends up in Weedpatch Camp, which is very much in Kern County -- and is still a labor camp. --jpgordon::==( o ) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I believe Kern County is the Third Largest county in geographic area for California not the "contiguous United States". Can someone double check this, I couldn't find were the US census lists counties by geographic size. Many websites state Kern as third largest in CA and Coconino County, Arizona as Second Largest in US. Inyo County claims to be third largest in US, see: http://www.inyocounty.us/Sheriff/  Braymond (talk) 18:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
