Redding, California Removal

Both Shasta County and Redding is deep in bear country; it is not part of the central valley. Del Norte, Siskiyou, Modoc, Humbolt, Trinity, and Shasta county is bear country. Most of Mendocino County is also. Central Valley begins at Red Bluff and it ends to till you get to Ventura County. I am going to remove Redding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.99.38.132 (talk) 21:40, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A valley is determined by geography, not by the animals in it. Sam Tomato (talk) 20:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Answering question in edit comment: "Why italicize train names?"

This is part of Wikipedia style. See MOS:ITALICTITLE § Similar cases. For a specific example, see the title formatting in the target article: San Joaquins.

Many possible additions, but unsure what'd be good to add

While doing secondary research prestudy on agriculture/land use in the Central Valley region in California, I have put together many notes with references that I was thinking of adding here, but I'm not sure what to add or not. Anybody have good guidance for me on this? Kikiboddula (talk) 23:48, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs improvement so it is great that you want to help. Adding gradually over several edits is the best rather than add too much in one edit. For each entry, look for a good place where it fits, sometimes that will be in a wikilinked article rather than this one. You can look at those rated as good articles to see what we are trying to achieve. Be bold, you can always update or another editor will improve it. I often rewrite as I am adding new material and I see how it could be explained better. Remember the average reader, this is not scientific journal. Welcome.
