Talk:Oxnard, California

message: Since  stated a fair point and deleted the neighborhoods list, I'm thinking that instead of an urban environment section, the article can have a layout section, where information on the more notable places in Oxnard. This was originally Fettlemap's idea. Evancahill (talk) 15:38, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: , Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline#Geography suggests using the Geography section that already exists. Wikipedia tries to be international-friendly by using a similar layout for articles about similar topics such as cities. I am suggesting that while most neighborhoods are not notably different, there are a few that are distinctive. These neighborhoods would also appear in some references (not just the city general plan) since they are of interest. Here are two samples that were rated as Wikipedia:Good articles: Amarillo, Texas#Cityscape and Buford, Georgia.  Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 17:00, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, . I would go more along the lines of the Amarillo article if it were my choice, though, so the article can be easier to organize and navigate. Thanks. Evancahill (talk) 19:16, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  New section 

message: Oxnard is a combination of neighborhoods, and urban development focused on the downtown, coastline, and harbor areas. The city's main land uses are industrial, residential, commercial, and open space. The city is characterized by one and two-story buildings, the only exception being several high rises in the northern part of the city. The city is surrounded by agricultural land and the Pacific Ocean, as well as the Santa Clara River. The city's primary development lies along Highway 101 and the other main roads.
The Henry T. Oxnard Historic District is a  historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Oxnard. Covering approximately F and G Sts., between Palm and 5th Sts., in the city, the district includes 139 contributing buildings and includes homes mostly built before 1925. It contains Craftsman and Revival architecture in abundance. and 
Ormond Beach is a beach along the Oxnard coast. The beach, which stretches for two miles, adjoins the Ormond Wetlands, some farmland, and power plant remains. It covers the area in between Points Hueneme and Mugu, and is a well-known birding area. The beach historically contained marshes, salt flat, sloughs, and lagoons, but surrounding agriculture and industry have drained, filled, and degraded the beach and wetlands. However, there is still a dune-transition zone-marsh system along much of the beach.Kelley, Daryl (April 29, 2001) "Illness Forces Environmental Crusader to Sidelines." Los Angeles Times
   I have a new draft here, with information on more notable neighborhoods. Hope this works. Evancahill (talk) 21:45, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Since there is only this one place by the name Oxnard, I don't get the pun "We're not talking Oxnard at the beach. No! We're talking Oxnard in the onion fields!" by the entomology professor. Thank you very much in advance for an enlightening comment. --Kolya (talk) 17:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
