Talk:Mojave County, California

message: Years ago I remember reading about the efforts of citizens of the High Desert areas of San Bernardino County, California to split off from the more urbanized lower southwesterly one-third. However, like a similar proposal around the same time in Riverside County, in which residents of the eastern two-thirds wanted to split off and become "Cahuilla County", there is precious little information about this on the internet. If anybody living in the area has any old scans of news articles or maps or recollections of the proposed secession, feel free to add to this post. I created it because I wanted to learn more about it.--Larry G 00:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

message: This county was never formed. It had no county seat, no boundaries. There's no "there" there. So I deleted the tag requesting coordinates. 
Also, the final reference cited did not say anyone claimed anything was dumped in retaliation for something. It simply said people didn't like that this had been done and felt the county had given up on them. I deleted that sentence but retained the source, which is still relevent.

thread_title: Untitled

message: In relation to notability, versions like this and this claim that the author was virtually unknown until someone speculated about a relationship to Sheldrake (source of the claim unspecified and no citation provided), or that someone else speculated about "electronic voice phenomena" using Hudson's arguments (source still unspecified and no citation).  Then more recently we have mentions of Hudson on an in-universe spiritualist site (now cited).  And apparently some reviews of the book may exist.The older versions also provided some biographical information about the author's life before the book writing, but without citations.  If the book is more popular than the author, perhaps the article scope could be changed and the article renamed, to be about the book.The current article is based on one in-universe source as well as editor synthesis, a summary of the book itself, the primary source.  If reviews really exist, it probably should be rewritten using those and they of course should be cited.  Still, can any of those be considered independent?For my own impression, that obviously cannot be used as a source, but may serve as a guide on what an independent source may plausibly cover: while I'm familiar with these concepts that are common in the pop spiritualist pseudoscience of the era, this particular author and book were unknown to me, despite having read on these topics for about a decade, years ago.  Hudson begins with false premises like an a-priori belief that Christian Science and other "psychic" healing are effective, then with syncretism speculates about how this and other alleged "abilities" (rather than beliefs and personal experiences), might be explained with simple pop psychology, another doctrine relying on false premises and where the "subconscious" is claimed to tap in the universal "objective", allowing magic.Finally, if independent sources don't exist (if they're promotional/in-universe), the notability is questionable and WP:AFD should be considered.  —PaleoNeonate – 22:08, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi. I noticed a posting posting at the Sims 2 web site, on the blog of a Maxis staff member.
In the aformentioned blog entry, the author mentioned that "whenever a major milestone approaches for something with the game, there is a tradition of making grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone."
Perhaps this is a reason for why they chose the Grilled Cheese Sandwich aspiration? Then again, the sandwich-making might not predate the Grilled Cheese aspiration's entry into Nightlife.
Just a note that I thought might be of interest. --Mirablu 16:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Lost soul thought that the previous password cracker wasn't named properly and wanted to 'fix' this mistake by making John 'the ripper', the way Jack should've been in the first place...''
