Side photo

The caption of this collage lies more than it talks. Everything is wrong, well two descriptions are right but in the wrong place.

Left to right top to bottom:

  • Arts and Science City (l'Hemisfèric IMAX cinema and Opera Palace)
  • Modernist buildings and (as far as I know unnamed) fountain in City Hall Square
  • Llotja de la Seda (a gothic building from XV-XVI century where trade was carried)
  • Queen's Square with the gothic door of the Cathedral and the 'Miguelete' tower on the left (no fountain, Virgin's Square is 200 meters away from this photo and yes that one has a fountain)
  • Some horrible Iberdrola building which tells nothing about the city
  • The Alinghi ship at the port. You should know that a lot of people here in Valencia hate this America's Cup thing, as it's some elitist event which only brings wealth to some annointed people who keep voting for our <<BLP violation redacted>> mayor.
  • some rowboats at the Malvarrosa beach.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.126.66.76 (talk • contribs) 22:01, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
The comment above about the slide-photo seems to be more than two years old and no correction yet? (There is absolutely no way that it is "clockwise". It is top-to-bottom and left-to-right within each top-to-bottom stripe, and the postor above noted other things that are beyond my knowledge). PLEASE fix, please?74.64.104.99 (talk) 02:39, 16 June 2019 (UTC)Christopher L. Simpson[reply]
Rather than begging for someone else to make changes based on your explanation -- as the IP 5 years ago did -- I'd suggest that you do it yourself. - SummerPhDv2.0 04:24, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

I think the infobox picture in the current version of the article features too much image cluttering, with so many small images, somewhat beating the purpose of the illustration. The rendering of .png images does not work particularly well with small photographs either. While I would rather favor just one panoramic picture, I understand the conveniences editors see in image collages. I leave here an alternative proposal, reducing the number of images (just 5 elements), increasing the size of each photograph, and, of course, somewhat changing the selection.--Asqueladd (talk) 00:29, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Valencia climate is hot semi-arid

The normal climates shows that the total annual precipitation in Valencia is less than its thereshold, which means that the climate is semi-arid, regardless of the rest. You can see that the only exceptions in the world are Antarctica, the Arctic and other regions in group E.

Furhermore, the Koppen map made by AEMET shows that Valencia falls into a hot semi-arid climate [1] (page 19) Farell37 (talk) 17:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You all need to go read WP:OR, WP:V, and WP:RS. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not WP:OR, WP:V or WP:RS. We are talking about AEMET which is the most RS for climate in Spain. Also, you are ignoring the thereshold of the city. Why you say it's hot mediterranean when all evidences shows it is hot semi-arid? The theres hold is 512 mm and the annual precipitation is 457 mm. It's not about original research, it's about the Koppen climate classification itself. Literally, this universal Koppen map [2] is wrong and does not correspond with the original AEMET Koppen map [3][4]
AEMET is an RS and is the main source for climate in Spain. You are ignoring this maps and also ignoring the thereshold. Again, this is not original research. Original research is adding to the Wikipedia without citing reliable sources. There is an AEMET source showing that the climate of Valencia is hot semi-arid and not mediterranean.
