Talk:1969 Santa Barbara oil spill

message: This article begs for expansion in this day and age. Also need to maintain the Wikipedia goal of neutrality. It maybe already lacks that when you see the few references and their source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.214.41.30 (talk) 17:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow. Reading this craptastic article, you would think that the only effect of the spill was the death of 10,000 birds. In fact, for years afterwards, the beaches for over 100 miles south of S.B. were covered with sticky dollops of tar, and the once plentiful shellfish population was all but completely wiped out. It was possible to harvest edible crabs, clams, and mussels along the Southern California coast before the oil spill. Two years later the shellfish were GONE, and have not yet returned in significant quantities.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.115.31 (talk) 21:07, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm working on a rewrite of this article in my userspace ... is anyone watchlisting this?  Can someone help me find some public domain or copyleft pictures?  I'm having a hard time finding anything useful; the best pics are copyright, typically by newspapers and press services. Antandrus  (talk) 23:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Isn't there a better word for this than "spill"?  Crude Oil wasn't spilled and what actually happened was an off shore well blew out.  I had trouble finding it under "oil spill"; was looking under: 'well blow out'.

replies: text: It's the standard naming convention we use -- see for example everything in :Category:Oil_spills.  I can find one exception, and this is a land event -- the Lakeview Gusher -- but otherwise we seem to use "spill" consistently.  Bring it up on the village pump if you have a better idea, but I think "spill" works ok.  Antandrus  (talk) 02:02, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Not that I know of -- do you have a link to a clip of the scene?  I know that the spill was detected as far north as Pismo Beach but I don't think it was a serious problem there. Antandrus  (talk) 22:20, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
