[edit] Council Majority
The article currently says that Sebastopol is "the only city in California to have a council majority of third party members." This statistic either needs a cited reference or a modification. I offer changing it to "one of the only cities in California..." as a solution, which would retain the statement's truth but effectively eliminate its need for a source.

[edit] Charles Schulz
I seem to remember in a strip, the Peanuts character 5 once mentioned how he got his name. His father wanted to rebel against society, so he named all of his kids after the numbers in their zip code: 95472. Can anyone confirm this with a citation, and the date of the strip? This would also be a correction to the Peanuts article. -- The Photon 04:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This entry has been vandalized
This entry contains the term "douchebag" at least twice and refers to Sebastopol's high-quality marijuana. All are likely spurious references and should be corrected.
[edit] Famous People
I do not believe that Shuggie Otis is a resident (on his own) of Sebastopol. He may be staying with his father, R&B pioneer Johnny Otis. The page should refer to Johnny Otis as the Sebastopol resident. I have never seen documnetary evidence prooving that Jerry Garcia ever lived in the area. Whilst Mickey Hart and Les Claypool do. However Claypool & Hart live in a different town (Occidental/Forestville area). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.169.164.107 (talk) 20:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Just some corroboration
I live in Sebastopol. The zip code 95472 is correct. I think we have a green party majority here (it's a town of aging hippies). The marijuana thing is a local stereotype (I have mentioned where I live to a bunch of strangers and they asked me "do you smoke pot?" And in case you're wondering, I've never seen pot.) Jerry Garcia did used to live around here, as did Jack London, Charles Schulz, and others. This place has really great scenery and it's in wine country (term for a wine-producing region in the Medditterranian climate of northern California.) Who wouldn't want to live here? 67.180.200.204 18:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
