Willamette Valley Daily Photo

I took this out, but am keeping it here. The photos are good, but only pertain to the article in question for one day. Pehaps we can get permission to put the photos in the commons?Katr67 19:14, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well this got added back with no comment. I don't want to start a revert war. Can someone check out the link and see if you agree with me that it is probably self-promotion and not 100% relevant to the Salem article because it seems to be mostly about Stayton? I don't know the protocol for addressing such things. Thanks. Katr67 04:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Silicon wafer plant

Well this makes no sense: "In November, 2003, the Sumitomo Mitsubishi Silicon Group, one of these arrivals, closed their two silicon wafer plants at the end of 2004, eliminating 620 jobs, and moving the production to other plants." Which is it? Katr67 00:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transportation

It'd be nice to see some information about local transportation integrated into the article (in particular, Cherriots). Sarge Baldy 07:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Syuyohyu 08:33, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minto-Brown/Browns

I believe though it is commonly called "Minto-Brown" Island Park, it is properly called "Minto-Browns" Island Park. That's what my map of Salem calls it. The park is made up of Minto Island and Browns Island (though with the channelizing of the Willamette, you can hardly tell they are islands anymore). I'll look around. Any info would be appreciated.
