I think the fact that it was a nuclear test site is certainly significant, possibly needs rewording. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.140.120 (talk) 03:34, 18 October 2005 (UTC) If by "it" you mean Farmington being a nuclear test site, I don't think so. Ground zero for the Gasbuggy explosion was many dozens of miles away, not even in the same county; saying that Farmington was therefore a nuclear test site would be stretching it, to put it mildly. It'd favor keeping it about the way it is. Ohyesbut (talk) 04:23, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the link to the Desert Rock Blog because it doesn't have anything to do with the comment period for the proposed Desert Rock power-plant. If someone wants to add a section for controversy over Desert Rock, it might be more at home there, but as it is, it's a mis-leading link. --Hoganp1 (talk) 21:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since community/junior colleges don't even award bachelor's degrees, they certainly aren't going to confer doctorates, so I re-worded the blurb on College Blvd. in the section. 74.215.242.83 (talk) 05:35, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest deleting the paragraph about College Boulevard having four schools on it. That's really not particularly extraordinary, and sounds more like Board of Education puffery than anything else. Even moreso, I'd drop the paragraph about the "feud" between the two high schools. Any town with two or more high schools has exactly these same sort of rivalries. This simply isn't encyclopedia-type information that's worthy of inclusion in an article about this city. Ohyesbut (talk) 04:46, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is it me, or the "notable places" section is just an ad for some restaurant? Zhuravskij (talk) 15:57, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The page reads:
"It grew from 3,637 in 1950 to 35,000 in 1953 and the expansion continued after that"
The linked evidence claims:
"In 1946 Farmington city limits covered only 630 acres; by 1950, it expanded to 2,240-acres as the city stretched north encompassing the new forty-one house subdivision built by El Paso Natural Gas Company for workers at their San Juan River plant. Population burst from 3,637 in 1950 to the local estimate of 35,000 in 1953, as oil and gas workers flooded into Farmington."
It's not clear if the 35,000 is even Farmington population or metro area population from that quote - and 35,000 is not born out of census data, which has 23,785 for the population in 1960 (still - a huge jump). 2600:1700:6971:F080:9172:866D:E8CB:A68E (talk) 22:46, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
