Talk:San Joaquin Valley

message: Several statements in the article do not seem accurate, at least in the northern San Joaquin Valley.  For example:
* The "San Joaquin" river is "mostly dry in [its] lower reaches" -- Since the 1930s, have the San Joaquin's lower reaches ever run dry?
* "Oil derricks and pumps" "can be found in varying densities throughout the valley." -- Are there any producing oil derricks or pumps in the northern San Joaquin Valley?
* "Landholdings are considerably larger than those in the Midwest and South, usually on the order of thousands of acres." -- Landholdings in the Midwest and Great Plains have become increasingly large.  Also, this phrasing does not take into account that most land holdings are small or modest, even if a large percentage of the total acreage is in large holdings.
* "Methane and other noxious gases" -- Methane is a greenhouse gas, but it is not quite a noxious gas.
* "Among well-populated areas, the San Joaquin Valley is perhaps the most conservative in California." -- During the last quarter of the twentieth century, Orange County was generally considered the most conservative well-populated area of California.  The San Joaquin Valley was usually considered to be a swing area.

message: My father was born in Oklahoma and traveled to the San Joaquin Valley. Speaking with my father and grandmother gave much insight to their plight to survive.
My issue is with the terminology used to describe these proud people who survived against all odds. Many times living in squalid conditions, camped in remote locations, with only ditch water and fruit from the trees to survive.
Okie and Arkie are considered insults, much like the "N" word to black Americans.
Please consider revising.
Oklahoman and Arkansan would be acceptable.
A citation or reference is needed for the statement that the majority of cases of coccidioidomycosis occur outside the San Joaquin Valley area. Armona (talk) 19:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a lot of duplication and overlap between San Joaquin Valley and Central Valley (California), which are effectively the same thing. I suggest merging. Fig (talk) 11:44, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Should there not be a small section about the drought due to the EPA protecting the Delta Smelt? It is very important because it effects the agriculture so much that this country might experience a famine soon. --Azemocram (talk) 02:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

message: There was some debate about educational institutions in the San Joaquin Valley.  Included previously was the University of California, Davis.  UCD is not int he San Joaquin Valley (generally speaking the southern portion of the Central Valley).  UCD is in the Sacramento Valley as any map clearly shows.  Significantly it is north of the delta, the Sacramento river and even north of the 80, the interstate linking SF and Sac.  In fact UC Merced was established because the San Joaquin Valley was the last major population center in California without a UC Campus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki Mateo (talk • contribs) 06:52, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Apparently, the region maps on both http://www.visitcalifornia.com/Explore/ and http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=873 include eastern Contra Costa County as part of the valley. Thoughts about mentioning it in this article too? Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:52, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

message: how many square miles or acres in the place?
how many devoted to agriculture? it tells us how many acres have been lost in a 24 year timespan, but not how many acres there are
how many devoted to urban life?
how does the economy break down? how many dollars, split between agriculture and other industries
in summary, below average article for such an important part of California and the nation

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :San Joaquin Valley's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:47, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

message: I corrected "San Joaquin Valley Fever" to "Valley Fever." As a long-time local, I have only heard it called by the latter (Valley Fever), never once by the former name. But as a long-time local who eventually moved elsewhere, I might be wrong. Any takes on this?
