Sonoma State

I took out Sonoma State University from under the list of education institutes. Sonoma State is not in Santa Rosa, so it doesn't belong on the Santa Rosa page, even if it is noted as being in Rohnert Park. They are two seperate cities, so vital facts about one should not be on the page of the other. -- Lauren H. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.105.79.217 (talk) 02:47, 4 November 2006‎

Despite what they claim on their own website, Sonoma State University is not located in Rohnert Park. The campus is immediately adjacent to Rohnert Park, but is technically outside the city limits, in an unincorporated area of Sonoma County. It’s still not in Santa Rosa, though. --Wclark (talk) 19:45, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Intro image

Greetings fellow editors, Previously the old courthouse square (an image from prior to its redesign) featured in the lede. Prior to the Tubbs fire I had swapped in an image of the Fountaingrove Round Barn then when that was lost I lastly swapped in the Roseberg's Dept. Store building. I tried to find a Santa Rosa building/landmark of note and emblematic of the city but I invite others to swap out this image of Rosenbergs if there might be a better more Santa Rosanesque image to replace it with. Thank you. 86.218.97.116 (talk) 20:37, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Santa Rosa, California

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 Santa Rosa, California'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.

Reference named "USCensusEst2018":

From Louisville, Kentucky: "Population and Housing Unit Estimates". Retrieved June 9, 2017.
From Sonoma County, California: "American FactFinder". Retrieved April 19, 2019.

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 ⚡ 21:29, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Median Age in Demographics

Regarding the claim "The median age was 36.7 years." I don't see how that could plausibly be the case. For it to be a median, it must either be an actual recorded age in the dataset or the mean of two such ages -- and 36.7 cannot be either, unless the original ages were recorded as decimals. That's not how it's recorded in the census, and not how it's recorded anywhere I've seen. I checked the 2010 census and there is nothing like that in the data. I'm not sure where this number came from, so I've added a citation needed template. I'm figuring it's probably supposed to be the mean rather than the median, or that it's somebody's original research and they made a mistake. --Wclark (talk) 20:59, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recent reversions my Magnolia

Debate to be had about chapter order but the blanket reversion seems a bit broad brush. I don;t see any vandalism or ill intent here from a newish editor. Could someone look at what happened before we get an edit war and waste an admin's time? YellowFratello (talk) 07:39, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The editor add sourced content, and disrupted the section order, in one large edit. They are welcome to add sourced content, but should seek consensus if wishing to re-order sections. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

new record high temp

santa rosa hit 112 yesterday https://abcnews.go.com/US/bay-area-hit-record-temperatures-officials-californians-conserve/story?id=89413294 73.170.203.143 (talk) 23:37, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Highest temperature

An anon updated the temp and date to the new record on Sept 6, 2022 of 114. This is cited at the existing reference of the NOAA. However, All of the local news around the bay area reported a high of 115 on that day, according to the National Weather Service. So now I don't know which record is 'canonical', and I haven't (yet) found NWS's record for that. I do think that it should still note that the last time the record was set was in 1913, it's an important historical reference. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 03:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
