Since John from Idegon 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)
Oxnard is a combination of neighborhoods, and urban development focused on the downtown, coastline, and harbor areas. [1] The city's main land uses are industrial, residential, commercial, and open space. [2] 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. [3]
The Henry T. Oxnard Historic District is a 70-acre (28 ha) 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. [4] It contains Craftsman and Revival architecture in abundance. [5] [6]
Ormond Beach is a beach along the Oxnard coast. The beach, which stretches for two miles [7], 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. [8] [9]

@ Fettlemap: @ John from Idegon: @ Antandrus: I have a new draft here, with information on more notable neighborhoods. Hope this works. Evancahill ( talk) 21:45, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
@ Fettlemap: I updated the draft, and I think it will work fine. What about you? Evancahill ( talk) 03:40, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
@ Evancahill:, I was very surprised that while asking for comments here, you put back a poorly worded and inaccurate description with this edit. As you are aware, this is a major issue with your editing. Rather than learning from experienced editors, you add citation needed which is supposed to be placed by editors to allow time for the contributor to provide a reference from something that the editor thinks is original research. So if you add the above paragraph to the article, what will you do when experienced editors besides those on this thread give it a close look? You recently reverted an edit by an experienced editor who carefully explained that the reason on the Great Wall article. I don't think you have taken the encouragement yet to improve your editing. Fettlemap ( talk) 17:54, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
@ Fettlemap: OK, a couple things. First of all, I explained why I reverted the Great Wall edit. The newer picture was higher quality, and captured more of the Great Wall than the old pic. The older one only captured a tower in it, while the new one captured much more of the wall. And second of all, I don't understand what you mean by "what will you do when experienced editors besides those on this thread give it a close look?". Evancahill ( talk) 18:53, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
@ Evancahill:, You ask what I mean by "what will you do when experienced editors besides those on this thread give it a close look?" You are very quick to revert, try a week to be a thoughtful editor and do not click on undo. See what you can learn by observation rather than reacting quickly. Don't be defensive. Just stop arguing and defending. Instead of replying to this, spend a week reading WP:EDIT. Think about what you can learn from this and not what others should be doing. Cheers, Fettlemap ( talk) 05:25, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

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)
The pier and cityscape shown in the photo currently displayed at the top of the article are in downtown Ventura, not Oxnard. I've been there frequently and recognized them instantly. That's the Ventura Pier, and the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach Hotel to the left of it.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus that WP:USPLACE should continue to be observed for this article. ( non-admin closure) ModernDayTrilobite ( talk • contribs) 16:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Oxnard, California → Oxnard – Target already redirects to page with no obvious competitors for primary subject, making ", California" an unnecessary disambiguation. QuietHere ( talk) 08:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
