Review

Hey, GeorgeLouis. I'm back and kickin'. XD

• Well, firstly, I'm going to whine about expansion. I know this is an unincorporated community, but is there anything that can be added, something that'll paint readers a better picture of the community?

• Also, why is there an "and" floating around, surrounded by two inline citations in the Founding and Growth section? If you mean simply to cite the paragraph, then you don't need the "and."

• I don't think "Quirky Reputation" is a common place name; is there any more encyclopedic title you could choose?

Hope this helps. I'll watchlist this one in case of reply.

If you have any more reliable sources, by all means add the information they contain. I deleted the "and" and removed the word "quirky," although I'm quite fond of that little adjective! Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 14:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Scheideck History

My family used to go to Camp Scheideck to Camp out and hunt and fish in the 50's and 60's. I was about 4 years old the first time I went there. One of my great uncles used to own one of the cabins. I remember helping to clean doves there on one occasion. My uncle used to hunt deer, rabbit and even mountain lions in the vicinity and fish in the creek. The creek used to be stocked. I don't know if it is any more. I ate quite a few trout and venison from the area around Scheideck when I was growing up. I remember that people would Polka at the tavern. We would target shoot at a spot on the other side of the creek somewhere between the cabins and the tavern. I seem to remember a woman named Emma either owned or ran the tavern. I have only been back there once as an adult. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenzane (talk • contribs) 10:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Ventura County Star newspaper photos

I lived in Ventura County for 58 years, from 1950 until 2008. Occasionally the Star-Free Press newspaper, now called The Ventura County Star or something like that, ran photos of Sheideck taken probably in the early 1900s, and others from the late 1930s after Highway 33 was built and access to the community was easier. If anyone is interested enough to approach the newspaper for permission to have those photos put into the public domain, it may be worthwhile to expand the article a bit. There is a chance that the photos I remember may be old family photos and not available for wikipedia's public domain format. The last time I was in Sheideck was on August 14, 2000, (Perseids meteor shower viewing at Mt. Pinos the night before). My Jewish girlfriend was with me, and she didn't appreciate the Nazi (counter-clockwise) swastikas carved into the tavern bar, presumably by a customer or customers. I don't know if that is representative of the community attitude in general, though. Just saying. Linstrum (talk) 18:11, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
