Talk:Santa Barbara Channel

message: Greetings:  I am reposting a request that I originally posted at :Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Environment last week, in hopes of attracting another collaborator:
I've just made a rather shocking and very dismaying discovery: There's no article about the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill. In fact, on all of Wikipedia, there are no more than a handful of passing references to this event. It's not even mentioned in the :List of oil spills. Yikes! How on earth is this possible??? This is mind-boggling. In all seriousness, this is undoubtedly the most glaring omission I have ever found on Wikipedia (and, believe me, I've found more than a few). We are talking about the single event that was most directly responsible for launching the modern environmental movement on a mass scale. It's no mere coincidence that Earth Day 1970 took place just months later. 
Especially with two oil spill eco-disasters currently under way, I hope I'm not alone in feeling that creation of this article should be a very high priority for this Project. I am in the middle of some very time-consuming things elsewhere on Wikipedia right now, but I promise that I will join in on a collaboration to write this article. Please reply here, and leave a note on my talk page, if you are interested -- especially if you've got good sourcing material. Regards, -- Cgingold (talk) 22:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Santa Barbara Island

message: The article on the Santa Barbara Island liveforever has a source from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that could be used for expanding the history section of this article. Here's a quote from it with a link to the pdf:
:The vegetation on Santa Barbara Island had a long history of being altered by human activities. While Native Americans inhabited or at least visited Santa Barbara Island, their impact on the vegetation is unknown and the subject of speculation (Service 1985). The most likely impacts were either from burning of the vegetation or from consumption. Impacts associated with colonization by settlers, however, were much more severe. By 1850, the island was already “densely populated” with goats (Philbrick 1972). Other introductions included: cats in the 1880s, sheep in the early 1900s, New Zealand red rabbits in 1915, and Belgian hares in 1942 (McEachern 2004). Each of these species inflicted damage to the natural vegetation. The island was also farmed for oats, barley, and potatoes over nearly one-half of the island in the first half of the 1900s, and was used as an aircraft early warning outpost from 1942 to 1947 (McEachern 2004, Service 1985).

Claiming as the editor above said that this is the primary topic fails to account for the fact that it uses an ambiguous name which will obviously receive the entries from the users who think they're landing on the correct location. Additionally, this isn't a primary topic as Santa Clara station is the base name. What we are dealing with is an incomplete disambiguation which has a higher bar, and even with the normal primary topic bar, having less than 3x the amount of the other two is a very low claim to primary.

message: I'm pretty sure that a stratopause does not exist in all atmospheres; a stratopause by definition represents a local maximum in temperature with height, and there is no necessity for this to exist (all substantial atmospheres possess a thermosphere at the top - with temperature rising with height - and atmospheres with significant greenhouse gases will have a troposphere at the bottom - with temperature falling with height - but that only forces the existence of a tropopause).

Talk:Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area

message: I was looking at the history of the Santa Fe Dam and I noticed there was one fact that was missing. My Dad went to work at a Hog Ranch located inside the Santa Fe Dam. I can't give exact dates but I'll be close. We moved a lot when I was very young,  from birth in May 1944 to 1949 I know of four places we lived in that time. 
 My dad went to work on the Ranch in 1949 as a ranch hand, there was three homes on the ranch, the owners Ranch House and the Forman's House, the Forman and his wife had two boys and one girl and our house in 1949 had three girls and one boy, myself. Them in 1950 my youngest sister was born.
 I don't remember the owners name but I think his last name was Wilson or Watson. He had a small herd of Cattle and another small herd of Horses but the Hogs was the main source in income. I can't say how many hogs he had but if I guessed I would say a couple hundred. He had a contract with the county of Los Angeles to dispose  of the county's garbage. 
 In those days, the garbage was collected separately from the trash. There was a fleet of trucks with special designed compartments on the back. The drivers and his helper would dump the garbage into these compartments. As the trucks became full, they would go to the Ranch and unload into a long pens or shoots that had gates in order to close off the long pen at regular intervals. 
 The operation went like this. As the trucks came in they back into the long pen or shoot and stop at a closed gate. the doors on the back of the truck bed would be opened and then the bed of the truck would raise and as it raised the garbage would tumble out the back and at the same time they would move forward until empty. this would continue truck after truck, as they came to a gate , it would be closed to create separate pens and as they closed a gate another gate to the hog pens would open and the hogs would come in and eat the garbage. There was about 20 pens serviced each shoot. I can remember three sets of pens. The trucks were a dark green in color.  
 I had two older sisters and the other kids was older then me and all went to school in Irwindale. the bus stop was on Gladstone and Irwindale Ave. out the back gate. The front entrance was off Irwindale Ave , were the Miller Brewery is now.  
  I thought this information was significant because it was part of Santa Fe Dam's History. --Rcstov44 (talk) 02:40, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Choice of name 

message: On April 27th the Starbucks factoid was removed because it was "obviously not true." That is actually not correct though, it is true. All Starbucks locations were obtained from Starbucks.com's own site, and there are 560 Starbucks locations within 25 miles of the center of the zip code 90670 (specifically latitude 33.935496 longitude -118.068192), which is Santa Fe Springs. There is no other zip code in the US with more than 560 locations.
I believe this is an interesting and unique fact that is relevant to Santa Fe Springs. If there are other reasons to omit this then fine, but I don't think that it should be removed for not being accurate.
If there is no objection to this in the next few days I'll add it back, but if you feel as though this doesn't belong here please let me know.

message: The Climate panel is totally inaccurate.  The reference for this section is actually for the San Luis Obispo weather station.  As anyone who lives in the area (such as me) knows, these two towns have a very different climate since they lie on opposite sides of the Santa Lucia Mountains, with Santa Margarita very much hotter in summer and colder in winter than the chart indicates.  Santa Margarita does not have a weather station as far as I can tell, so I may replace this section with the Paso Robles weather data (very similar climate) or just delete it altogether, not really necessary for such a small town.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WeirdNAnnoyed (talk • contribs) 00:12, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Santa Ynez, California

message: Regarding the toponym, the article claims it to be an “old spelling” for “Santa Inés”, but this is inaccurate:
The “y” spelling of initial vowel “i” is certainly an archaic spelling (most notably appearing in the archaic spelling “Ysabel” for “Isabel”, whose archaic initial “y” was the basis for using a yoke—“yugo” in Spanish—as a rebus symbol of Queen Isabella I of Castile “the Catholic”).
However, the “z” is not an archaic spelling, but an outright misspelling made by seseante speakers (which includes almost every Spanish speaker in the Americas), due to the fact that they merge (and thus “confuse”) the pronunciation (and thus the spelling) of phonemes “s” and “c/z”. And it appears they mistook the ending of “Inés” for the common Spanish onomastic ending -ez (which actually only appears in surnames and never in a forename like “Inés”).
Any non-seseante/ceceante Spanish speaker (such as most Spaniards) can instantly spot that “Ynez” contains a misspelling with the “z” (because we do not ever pronounce a Spanish “c/z” phoneme there; it is clearly an “s”, and those two phonemes are for us completely distinct and unmistakable). Although some may or may not be aware about what's going on with the archaic initial “y” spelling (some might think of it as a misspelling too, because it is a misspelling according to the modern spelling rules; unlike the “z”, which is and has always been a misspelling when the underlying phoneme is “s” instead of “c/z”).
TL;DR: The archaic spelling of “Inés” was “Ynés”. “Ynez” is a seseante  misspelling of that archaic spelling, induced by the difficulty seseante speakers have telling apart which words end with -és from those ending in the common Spanish onomastic ending -ez (which sound the same for them, but are not the same, neither etymologically nor to speakers for whom that phonological distinction is still very alive and well). 80.103.150.15 (talk) 01:06, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
