message: Neither of the coordinates matches anything politically significant, though the USCB's is close to the Library/Civic Center/Public Works.  They must be some estimate of the centroid of the city limits, which would explain the difference since the Census Bureau only keeps simplified polygon data. --belg4mit 18.124.2.224 21:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I've just removed the phrase "See also: Issei Japanese American" from the text of this article, due to there being absolutely no context. But there's obviously demographic and historic information to be shared here - would someone add it? Jessicapierce 16:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems a little lengthy. Should another page be created specifically to detail that information? I'm just wondering.Killiondude (talk) 05:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: "The unincorporated communities of Allendale and Elmira are generally considered to be part of Vacaville."
:Allendale? Considered part of Vacaville? Come on now people. Allendale is at least 8 miles from Downtown Vacaville. Elmira is easier to consider part of Vacaville because it is within a mile from the city limits. Allendale is way the heck out there. Sigh. This page needs work. I'll get to it at some point.

message: Pretty impressive camera zoom for the shot shows downtown Sacramento in the distance.   In the foreground, the Travis Credit Union, which is in Vacaville, is seen.  This is not really downtown Vacaville either.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.129.45.201 (talk) 08:26, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Seriously. That is NOT a "skyline" of Vacaville. Does the person who put that photo in know what a skyline is? I'll be in Vacaville this week and I will get an appropriate picture of Main Street.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.132.155 (talk) 18:00, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

message: The Jon Voight film was filmed all over Vacaville , not just Main Street. They did some filming on Peaceful Glenn & Timm Road(s), as well as other areas of Vacaville. Harvey J Satan (talk) 20:09, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello! A concerned anon ( and ) objects to the idea that the city lies within the Valley. The USGS highlights Vacaville as being part of the Valley. A look at a terrain map also gives the impression that Vacaville sits on the east of the California Coast Ranges. I think it is fair (and balanced!) to state its membership of the SFBA due to residing in Solano Co. while also stating its geographical ties to Sacramento. To be fair, however, the Sacramento Valley article lacks sources and has no mention of Solano county at all. I think we could agree, however, that portions of Solano County are definitely within the Valley and therefore that article is not wholly complete. Killiondude (talk) 05:01, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I just reverted an edit by . Many people expect some definitive dividing line but different government agencies can have different definitions and geography is different. This is true in many other regions. Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments uses entire counties to define the San Francisco Bay Area - "Spanning from the wine country to Silicon Valley, the Bay Area has a population of over 7 million people in nine counties and 101 cities." http://www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/index.html The Sacramento Valley is a geographical area which does not respect county boundaries. In other words, both statement can be correct at the same time. The question is the best way to describe this. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 04:23, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

text: Vacaville is not, and has never been, considered part of the San Francisco Bay Area. Either colloquially or officially by any government agency. The previous comment, "Vacaville is considered to be politically part of the San Francisco Bay Area by various agencies" is both vague and inaccurate." Vacaville is both culturally and geographically outside of the San Francisco Bay Area proper; and few if any who live here would consider it part of the bay. 2601:645:8000:D0E0:0:0:0:BFDA (talk) 22:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources in the :San Francisco Bay Area article disagree with you. Schazjmd (talk) 22:53, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The first two paragraphs of the San Francisco Bay Area article, for the purposes of definition, utilizes two primary sources here, (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Bulletin-18-04.pdf) and here (http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf). The first site is a listing of " Statistical Areas", the second site is a listing of "Urban Areas". Neither source lists Vacaville under their listings for the San Francisco Bay Area nor is Vacaville itself listed at all in either site. 2601:645:8000:D0E0:0:0:0:BFDA (talk) 04:53, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead is just summarizing the full article. Better to read the Boundaries section and its sources, particularly this one. Schazjmd (talk) 14:51, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
