Talk:Murrieta, California

message: "Largely residential in character, Murrieta is considered a "bedroom community", with large numbers of its residents commuting to jobs in San Diego and Orange counties,"
Why are there no express buses or trains to either San Diego or Orange Counties?
:I don't know, but there should be, given the rapid growth over the past few decades and the need for better access to jobs. Pf1127 (talk) 07:14, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a good reason everyone uses cars. There are no other options! Why is it that other parts of the country that are the same size have much better public transit?173.58.251.147 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 07:59, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

text: I disagree. Give people a good transit system and they will use it. The people who live here aren't all that different than the people that live in other parts of Southern California. The only reason people don't ride the bus here is it sucks. It only runs once an hour or so and stops running at 6:00pm.74.100.60.53 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Not necessarily. Take the Antelope Valley, for example; it is also very spread out, but Metrolink still is able to access the region with one station each in Lancaster and Palmdale. Metrolink, which just completed an extension to Perris a few years ago, is now considering extending services into Hemet, so if they can do that, they can just as easily provide transit services to Murrieta.

thread_title: Lack of Public Transportation

message: I removed the following from the History section:
*Murrieta became a major focal point of the Cold War in 1962, in the heart of the Cuban Missle Crisis, when, while performing routine treatment, environmental specialists discovered, buried deep in Murrieta's foothills, a hidden Soviet missle silo. The silo appeared to have dated back to the 1960's, when the town was much less populus. Upon further inspection, the foothills surrounding Murrieta were found to carry a total of 12 silos. The missles in the silos were taken in for government inspection, and appeared to carry conventional warheads as opposed to a nuclear payload. However, although no radioactive materials were found, an abandoned underground biochemical research lab was uncovered near Temecula.
*The town of Murrieta again appeared in the headlines in 1985, when the Mayor of Murrieta, Robert Plant, declared his intention to secede from both the state of California and the United States of America. Mayor Plant, suspected of carrying ties to Soviet Russia, hoped to accomplish two goals: to create an international incident between the United States and Soviet Russia, and to bring recognition to his small town.
The city's own website does not mention either of these two events, so it's a pretty safe bet that the above is patent nonsense/vandalism. My apologies if this is not the case, but if you want to re-add this info, include your sources! --Benc
::Google has absolutely NOTHING on this as well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.35.112 (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I been to Murrieta a few times, but had a community council since 1984. Some unincorporated areas have councils to represent their community. But what made them different is they have county services (sheriff and fire dept.) and don't pay city taxes. I've heard of Robert Plant and he was a member of the Communist Party USA, a far-left political organization that wanted to indoctrinate America become a communist country. Murrieta isn't a far-left haven, but appearently a conservative middle-class suburb that's inclined to vote mostly Republican in key state and national elections. --Mike D 26 04:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed nonsense

message: I had a problem with how the mention of Rancho Murieta was phrased. It just seemed irrelevant to say "Rancho Murieta is an unincorporated area in northern California". I thought, "Who cares? This is an article on Murietta, not Rancho Murieta." I made a modification to that part which basically says Rancho Murieta has nothing to do with Murietta. I clarified the county that R.M. is in, and also changed the spelling (I noticed R.M. spells it with one "t"). Hope this is an agreeable edit for everybody. Nice article. Nice place that Floyd Landis lives. --Coryma 13:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Making the irrelevant relevant. 

message: I changed the description of Floyd Landis from "winner of the Tour de France" to "disputed winner of the Tour de France". Some of us believe that he won and that the test results are bogus, but it would be biased to claim that he is a winner without any reference to that. There is no doubt that his win is disputed, therefore I think this is a reasonable edit. --Bandislife 06:38, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Education 

message: Is there any way we can verify the Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg stuff? I have a lot of doubt. If we don't have a source I don't think it should be in there. What the hell would they want a house in Murrieta for anyway? --Bandislife 06:38, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Church of Scientology had a long history being active in Murrieta with the entire Riverside area, probably what has brought Tom Cruise to take up part-time residence. The nearby communities of Murrieta Hot Springs, farther off Canyon Lake adjacent to Sun City, California created by real estate enterpreneur Del Webb in the 1950's, and the unincorporated semi-rural community of Rancho California designed by the Kaiser Land Company in the 1960's is known to boost a high number of millionaire residents. + 71.102.3.86 (talk) 02:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I do know a Nickelodeon drama TV series The Secret World of Alex Mack from the mid 1990s was partially filmed on location, some episodes shown Alex Mack's school to actually be a middle school in Murrieta when the school wasn't in session. The school is located in the California Oaks subdivision, where a failed Christian family-theme park Rogersdale USA was at the same time, and Murrieta became more of a "family-focused" community other than a haven for actors and celebrities. + 71.102.3.86 (talk) 02:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous Residents 

message: Back in March 2004 and again 2005, the USA Today reported on a wave of racial hate crimes in Murrieta. The news report depicted Murrieta as a "lily white" community shown hostility against African-Americans moved to their city. I don't like the way USA Today reported Murrieta, which it's untrue to say everyone in Murrieta are racists. But the city has a serious problem with a number of neo-nazis and hate groups made Murrieta their HQs in belief of Murrieta is a "white American" community. I've been to old town Murrieta, where a large number of Latinos lived, and a Jewish community center (forgot the name, tell me what it is) don't mean the city is "ran by Nazis". I'm told of neo-Nazi gangs live in the hills to the north in Menifee valley, operated several meth labs and involved in some violent crimes with the police/sheriff. Most residents are smart, educated and morally right enough not to buy racist ideologies of their community. + 207.200.116.195 15:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Very harsh words, and I deleted the expletive and racial slurs. Let's keep the discussion page on topic in improvements and related subjects like news events. Lexis Nexis is not a good internet search engine, you should have tried Google, Bing and Yahoo instead.
Murrieta is diverse, the community emphasized tolerance and respect to all people. Visit the city's public library, the Home Depot and Ralph's supermarket, and you will see a small town atmosphere of civility between a large non-white majority interacting with whites and all others. And I recall the Murrieta Bandits pro soccer games had fans of many ethnicities, nationalities and races of people root for the home team. Mike D 26 (talk) 07:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I am in the middle of expanding the Murrieta History section. There may be some inaccuracies in the first revision that I posted, and there are no references. I will continue to revise and expand. If you see a mistake, don't hesitate to fix it. Bandislife 16:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Replacing unreferenced material with more unreferenced material isn't really helpful. If you really want to better the history of Murrieta (which it appears you do), adding references will vastly strengthen what you write. Refer to WP:REF if you need help with making references, or ask me. —Brien ClarkTalk 18:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia:Verifiability clearly states that "[e]ditors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed." The material I added is not a quotation and cannot be reasonably expected to be challenged; it is not controversial or disputed by any means of those terms. Nevertheless, I understand that some reference at the very least is desirable, and for that reason I have added references to the City of Murrieta page that icludes this information and to other relevant websites.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Murrieta, California's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
