message: *I know that the population in Salina does not exceeds 54,000 as it was stated on wikipedia's page of Salina, Kansas. There is no way Salina has boomed 10,000 people in a 7 year span. Salina is growing, but not that fast. 46,000 +/- is more realistic! 
So I fixed the first paragraph on Salina, Kansas article page. It no longer says that the population is over 54,000. It is at 46,000 and I have a reference note on there backing the numbers. It is from Salinas official web page.  http://www.salina-ks.gov/

thread_title: Population?

message: I really wonder about a few of the notables that have been added to the list. In particular:
*J.D. Rudd: While no doubt known in the Minot, ND, area, I'm not sure that this list should include rookie TV weathermen.
*Chris Tucker: Actor, but in what?
*Nathan Tysen: Playwright/musician, but what? Without details on these last two I just don't think they belong on this list yet.
Thoughts? Is our list of notables meant to be inclusive or exclusive?
: I find that notable resident sections are targets for practical joke additions, and also seem to be a great place for anon IPs to just add stuff, including their nextdoor neighbor.  My suggestion would be that if there isn't a WP article on them, and you can't find them on google, yank them. ----Steve 15:35, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: EXACTLY!!!

message: I was asked by  to have a quick look over this, with regards to moving towards B-class. I haven't checked it in depth, but some comments. Apologies for using note-form; ask if clarification required. This is not a "What is needed for B-class", it is suggestions for general improvement - some of which, and prob some stuff I've missed, would make it meet B-class requirements. It doesn't need too much work for B, IMHO.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Ok , why do you think these 7 words shouldn’t be in the lead? The purpose of the lead is to highlight points from each section. It isn’t just for population you know.
 Saying it is home to multiple colleges and Is one of the largest wheat producing cities might as well be removed tpo. Especially because it isn’t sourced meanwhile what I added was sourced. Might as well remove population too right because that’s under demographics and repeated(sarcasm). I don’t understand why you’re both such against longer leads and just want it to be 1 sentence with the population . Midwestman1986 (talk) 20:27, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lee Jeans  

message: Quite visitable, especially when I had younger children! Many Memories. There is a good selection of restuaruants. In youth wrestling, cross country, and soccer, we always stopped here for supper. Lunch when traveling through? The only Braums on Interstate 70, if You know what I mean. The family fun center.  Better water park than Manhattan or Hays. Bicentennial Center.  Regional Medical services (father). Central Mall. In the center of modest natural wonders and history; Smoky Hills, Coronado Heights, Rock City, Hill Museum, over twenty miles of trails at Kanopolis Lake, Strataca, Flint Hills.
Youth and adult sports seem to be supported. The page presently neglects your professional baseball team, the Salina Stockade. Here's hoping the river restoration gives the town an expanded trail system.
I have been visiting Salina for business and pleasure for 50 years, and only last year stumbled over the Indian battle while looking at rocks.
Sure, it is flat, but that just makes it very easy to get around!
