Talk:Slab City, California

message: The first section of the article, from "Slab City or The Slabs (located at 33°15′32″N 115°27′59″W) is a camp in the Colorado Desert in southeastern California, used by recreational vehicle owners and squatters from across North America." through "most campers use generators or solar panels to generate electricity" is almost verbatim identical to The Salton Sea: Pictures And Scenes Of Slab City in a blog entitled "The Velvet Rocket."

message: Are news articles good for adding information to this wiki page? Should I be trying to find more credible sources or in book form? 17150120J (talk) 01:32, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

message: I think there needs to be some idea of time frame at the beginning of the history section. "There was need for a new training facility for field and anti-aircraft artillery units" reads like a continuation of a previous statement. The reader is adrift without more info to start the section. ◦◦derekbd◦◦my talk◦◦ 17:43, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

If someone could add these and some talk about the risk the community is at of COVID-19, that would be great. Thank you, Cynthia-Coriníon (talk) 15:50, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , I found some sources saying the Slab City was bought by a developer in 1993, but more recent sources says it is owned by the state. Do you have any sources that shows what happened during those times? Graywalls (talk) 01:19, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

message: The video game Grand Theft Auto V has a major area based upon Slab City called Stab City, and it and several other locations on the game map are patterned after the settlement ("Stab" City even has a performance stage). Salvation Mountain is also parodied elsewhere on the map. Should there be an "in popular culture" section added? 23skidoo (talk) 21:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe. If it passes MOS:POPCULT by being prose, being discussed in depth in reliable sources, etc. Over time I think Wikipedia has been getting stricter about popular culture sections in order to discourage a bunch of bullet points of trivia. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
