dubious idealism in History[edit]

This sentence seems wildly idealistic: "The Pacific Northwest was once sprawled with native inhabitants who practiced eco management, to ensure little degradation was caused by their actions to salmon habitats." Similarly dubious: "... people would not overfish, and only took what they needed." In fact the opposite is more likely to be true, we are talking about Homo sapiens with slaves and warfare as in the world over. Why should we believe Pacific Coast natives treated salmon differently than, say, plains natives driving buffalo over a cliff? Specifically, this ignores evidence of riverine and estuarine fishing weirs capable of destroying a run of salmon. Native fishing weirs were encountered on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Hudson Bay coasts in the 1700s. Remnants of pre-contact weirs are known on the Pacific Coast. I can only pass as anecdotal that tribes upstream of Fraser River weirs operated by enemy tribes would release logs to destroy the downstream weirs so that some salmon could pass to upstream fisheries. Perhaps this wishful thinking in which First Nations are perfect resource managers needs to be toned down. --Scott.akenhead (talk) 02:04, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the entire History section is light-years away from having a neutral point of view. It absolutely seems to idealize the natives as some sort of unearthly ecological angels. 98.175.69.178 (talk) 17:50, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Salmon and Salmo pages "excessive"[edit]

There are 2 pages: Salmon and Salmo in English-version of Wiki. Both trying to give some overview of certain Salmonidae fish arts, but is it really needed to have those 2 pages separately? 213.95.148.172 (talk) 11:11, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not everyone uses the metric system![edit]

The table should provide measurements in inches as well as centimeters. 2600:1017:B801:1396:0:58:BCE:8F01 (talk) 03:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 September 2022[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I request that a source be placed after the sentence "As animists, the indigenous people relied not only for salmon for food, but spiritual guidance. in the article "salmon". The source I am suggesting is "‘Rock-art’, ‘Animism’ and Two-way Thinking: Towards a Complementary Epistemology in the Understanding of Material Culture and ‘Rock-art’ of Hunting and Gathering People" by Martin Porr and Hannah Rachel Bell. Included in this article is a definition of animism which states that "understanding of their much more inclusive attitude towards the whole environment based on principles of ‘sharing’ and ‘giving’ that include humans, animals, plants and other (spiritual) agents." (Poor et al., 2011, p. 162). The link to this article: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10816-011-9105-4.pdf: Natashasing987 (talk) 05:58, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Sentence in article is about the Nisqually people, in northwestern North America. Linked source is about the Ngarinyin, in western Australia. It also does not mention salmon.
