The Salinas valley consisted of many hard working people. There was a very diverse population in The Salinas Valley and it consist of many minoritys.

geography? MAP!!
Any article about a geographic place on this planet should include a map identifying that place in the wider region. Wikipedia became valuable largely because it held to policy rules such as this. So if you want to improve Wikipedia, expand on that set of rules and include a map for each article on geographic places. Rtdrury (talk) 20:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

This sentence no verb:
Consumer advocates and some lawmakers in food safety, even if 90% of suspect vegetable didn’t reach the shelves.[4]

No river flows "up"! Rivers flow downhill, and sometimes that is to the north. Don't perpetuate misconceptions that are already widespread. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.82.72.101 (talk) 22:37, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

The Salinan people are not extinct.
"Before colonization, the valley was inhabited by indigenous Salinans who lived by hunting and gathering and spoke the Salinan language, extinct since the 1950s."

Um, the Salinan People are not extinct. Link to the Tribal Web Site. Unless anyone objects I intend to strike that fragment of the sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W3woody (talk • contribs) 23:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Definition self-contradictory
"The Salinas Valley runs approximately 90 miles (145 km) southeast from Salinas towards King City. The valley lends its name to the geologic province in which it is located, the Salinian Block. Cities and populated places in the Salinas Valley include Bradley, Castroville...."

Castroville is about 10 miles northwest of Salinas, so either the valley runs through Castroville (from the city or the adjacent mouth of the Salinas River), or the Salinas Valley doesn't include Castroville at all. Which is it? Calbaer (talk) 19:53, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Sand River
“The Salinas River itself is a sand river, so water appears on the surface only during heavy rains or when water is released from the upstream reservoirs.”

What is a “sand river”? The description is clear, but I can’t find anything when looking up the term itself. The only articles on Wikipedia about sand rivers are all about rivers bearing the name Sand River. The same appears to be true for searches on Google. Elmarius (talk) 17:51, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
