Election templates

Hi Socal girl. Do you want to delete {{U.S. Senate election in California}}, U.S. Senate elections in California, California United States House elections, 1996 and 1996 U.S. Senate election in California? If so, place {{db-author}} on the page, and it will be speedily deleted. Number 5 7 13:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Don't place a link on the page, but just add the text {{db-author}} at the top of the article. Number 5 7 13:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK - I've done a couple of moves to conform with the naming system, so now we have:

I've also deleted the two pages you put db-author on, and have redirected U.S. Senate elections in California to Elections in California. If you need any more help, just ask. Good luck with the articles, Number 5 7 14:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't intend to delete U.S. Senate elections in California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socal gal at heart (talk • contribs) .

OK. Are you going to turn it into an article? Before it was just a template. Also, when you make comments, remember to sign them by writing ~~~~ at the end. Number 5 7 14:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I will turn it into an article. Socal gal at heart 12:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC) Socal gal at heart[reply]

OK, and don't use the nowiki either side of the four tildes, otherwise it doesn't display your signature (just type it in and hit show preview - then you'll see it appear) :) Number 5 7 14:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Why are you deleting the templates and then creating templates on article spaces? U.S. House elections in California and Template:U.S. House elections in California should be at Template:California U.S. House elections. Template:U.S. Senate elections in California should also be at Template:California U.S. Senate elections per the naming convention. Number 5 7 11:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the changes I made followed the naming convention. Socal gal at heart 12:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it should be "Template:[Place] [type of elections]", such as Template:U.S. presidential elections or Template:Malaysian state elections. Also, don't type nowiki when signing - just use the four tildes :) Number 5 7 12:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I'm new to editing here, so I'm learning. Socal gal at heart 12:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - if you have any questions, just ask. I'll sort out the templates for now. Number 5 7 12:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WiTWiCS Episode Guide

I believe due to heavy vandalisim on that site, Can you please do a remake the episode guide, and reverted back the way it was? Auld Lang Gone (unaired) was a Season 2 episode (with the injured gumshoe), the episode number would've been episode 69. Marc Summers took over Greg's place until the end of the office scene. It was replaced with "What's Wrong with Watts?". And that user changed USA to North America in seasons 1 and 2. North America was not used until season 3. Protect that page also. Please make a new version of it. ACMEMan (talk) 13:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Diamond

I reverted your edit to Diamond. Considering that the article's "see also" section only has 3 links in it, all of which are major topics related to diamonds, it seems like a game reference to diamonds really didn't fit in, especially since it's a featured article. Something like that might fit in in a more specialized article, though, or in the article on the game itself. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 22:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

minor edits / edit summaries / talk pages

Hi SCGAH! I'm also new here. I found your page because I was 'watching' the article on the Great Wall of China (I agree with your undoing of your edits, thank you!). I had a few suggestions for your editing:

I noticed when looking at your list of contributions that a lot of your edits are incorrectly marked as 'minor'. Minor edits are usually very trivial changes, like fixing obvious spelling or formatting mistakes. (see Help:Minor edit).

Also, it's helpfule to write a good edit summary every time you make an edit (Like you did when you added the Carmen Sandiego info) That way other editors can see not just what you did, but what you were trying to do, which helps us all work together better.

Lastly, when making changes to a well-established article (like adding a "popular culture" section), it's usually best to go to the 'discussion' page for that article and propose your changes there first. Often, the same proposals will already be under discussion there, and in any case you can get some feedback on how to implement it. (Or you can just go ahead and make the changes, but don't be surprised (or offended!) if they get reverted pretty quickly...

Have fun!!! Cheakamus (talk) 21:57, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions. I am learning how to be an effective contributor here. And sometimes I unintentionally checked the "minor" box and didn't realize I did until after I made the change. Socal gal at heart (talk) 23:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right after I wrote this I accidentally tagged two edits as minor by mistake! I read at Help:Minor edit#Things_to_remember that the right thing to do is to make a 'dummy edit' explaining your mistake. I'm finding it pretty hard to keep all the rules and guidlines in mind all the time, I don't know about you! But it sure is fun to contribute. Cheakamus (talk) 00:20, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Same with me! I enjoy contributing, but find it hard to remember every little rule we have to follow too.

I need some help!

California politicians

Articles shouldn't be in Category:California politicians if they're already in one of the subcats such as Category:Members of the California State Assembly. MisfitToys (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Lungren

Hi, regarding edits you made to Calaveras County articles, Lungren's voting record doesn't really seem appropriate there. It would be best if that information was limited to his own article. The community articles should just say what district they are in and who is their representative. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 07:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

State and Federal legislative reps in articles about CA places

I respect the work you've put into this, but I question whether adding this information to hundreds of articles is really in the best interests of Wikipedia. I can see that it's very useful for people to be able to find their elected representatives, but since those reps change every few years, it becomes a huge job to keep these hundreds of article up to date. I think a better strategy would be to create an article for each legislative district, including its voting history and current representative. Then each city, town, and unincorporated community article could have a wikilink to its district. What do you think? Stepheng3 (talk) 16:01, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I second these concerns, and want to add that this is really ridiculous when it comes to ghost towns with NO POPULATION! There is noone to represent in those cases, and somethimes the political section you added is longer than the rest of the content. Also, it seems you're only adding Republican representatives - this onesided effort isn't really the encyclopedic approach that Wikipedia stands for. Pls see my remarks on Bot usage below, too. 89.182.194.107 (talk) 12:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi Socal gal. You've been doing some great work lately. One thing I'd suggest would be to try to get in the habit of using edit summaries. It just makes it a little easier for recent change patrollers and for someone examining the change history of the article. Not sure if Internet Explorer works this way, but when I edit using Firefox and start to type in an edit summary I've already used, I'll get a dropdown box with auto-fill options which makes it even easier, especially when you're doing repetitive tasks. Thanks again for your hard work, OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congressional scorecards

Hello. I have a question about the CA Congressional delegation's entries, to which you added scorecards a few months ago. Is this really necessary? After all, an encyclopedic biography is supposed to give an overview of an individual's life and achievements, not what a grab-bag of interest groups may think about him. Something like "Congressman X has maintained a reliably liberal voting record" is fine and indeed important; what NORML says about him, less so. (By the way, where's the ACU rating? - that's a pretty standard yardstick on the Right.) Another problem is keeping up with changes/reflecting someone's entire career: for instance, the late Tom Lantos was in Congress nearly three decades, but his entry now enshrines just his '05-'06 record; surely he may have shifted in various ideological directions during those years. On the other hand, what about a younger Member - will we now be responsible for updating the scorecard after every session, or how do you anticipate this working? Finally, since just CA has this, it sort of stands out from the rest of the country; ideally, all Members should have roughly the same layout. So I think the potential problems these scorecards create are many, while any useful information they convey can easily be distilled into a sentence or even a phrase.

Well, I'm not disputing you had your own legitimate, good-faith reasons for adding them. I'm just contending that my own wish to remove them is based on more solid reasoning, as outlined above. Biruitorul (talk) 05:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just like to thank you for going ahead and removing the scorecards. I appreciate it. Biruitorul (talk) 00:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Representatives from California in the 79th Congress

If you can, can you please confirm & correct the list of Representatives from California in the 79th United States Congress? I'm trying to correct United States congressional delegations from California. See Talk:79th United States Congress.—Markles 14:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good Work

I applaud the massive work you've done recently in US House elections!—Markles 11:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chronological order of election results

I think that Recent Election Results should be in chronological order from earliest to latest. See, e.g., California's 1st congressional district.—Markles 11:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll fix the results for districts 1 and 2. I'm working on getting district 3's results up right now. Socal gal at heart (talk) 11:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great.—Markles 12:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congressional districts

Some other ideas, while you're sprucing up California's districts (see, e.g., California's 1st congressional district).

A TOC is needed at the top of the page. May I suggest using {{toclimit|2}}?
You don't need to discuss the current Representative's politics (e.g., …is a Blue Dog conservative Democrat")
You don't need the Rep's External link to his/her official website.
The heading for each election table doesn't need to say that it's District X. That's obvious because its in the article about the district already. I suggest "1996 general election."
"District" is usually lowercase: "district."

—Markles 12:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Examples that may help

I saw your comments back to Markles on his user page. As you look at creating a description table for the districts historical boundaries, check out what I did with Alabama's 8th, 9th, and 10th districts. I'd welcome any suggestions you have on improvements. I've been working on Alabama 1 through 7 in my Sandbox, but my data sources are incomplete. I'm also working on creating maps of early congressional districts.Dcmacnut (talk) 15:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Succession order table

That's an interesting table. What do you mean by "proper order of succession"? One error. You've done a remarkable job, and I think the evolution of districts is good information to share. However, I'm not sure it's the right visual, as it shows a different order of succession than the norm, like United_States_congressional_delegations_from_California. Succession follows the district number, and not the geographic area served by the district. Any thought to breaking up the table similar to with different groups based on when the seats were redistricted? That could address some of the issues.

For example, you show [William Rosecrans]] as being succeed by William W. Morrow during the 49th Congress, when he was actualy succeeded by Barclay Henley (CA-01). I guess one could argue that since Henley's term continued from the last Congress, he didn't "succeed" anyone, and you could argule that a Member of Congress whose term overlaps a redistricting year, and has his/her district number changed, isn't "succeeded" by anyone until he/she leaves the House. A problem arises when two incumbents are thrown into a new district and run against each other? Whom succeeds whom? Then there's mid-decade redistricting that creates fun in Georgia, like when Nathan Deal and Charlie Norwood swapped the 9th and 10th districts during the 108th and 109th congresses. For example, the current representative from GA-10, Paul Broun, is from Augusta, which until the 110th Congress was part of GA-12. Ciro Rodriguez's home was in the TX-28 until the 2003 redistricting, and then thrown into TX-28 by the courts. Finally, constituencies shift, and one district may become two or more in the next redistricting. How do you decide which is right?

California is an easier state (in spite of its large size) in that it has never lost a seat to redistricting. Alabama has gained and lost seats several times. Splitting the table could show the same information and be a little cleaner to read and understand.

On error I noted. Pleasant Tully is shown in your table as being in the 5th district for the 48th Congress, but he served in the 4th those years. Dcmacnut (talk) 22:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes look good. I've also comment at the California delegation article. I think both evolution of districts and the delegation succession articles have their place. I've heard similar arguments about "proper" succession in other states, with many people questioning "so and so represented County X, but a representative from County Z is listed as his successor." See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_U.S._Congress#Redistricting_and_succession for more info. Also see Talk:Bart Stupak and Talk:Dale E. Kildee. I'm not sure the Dale Kildee option is the right (listing successor and predecessor as "redistricting"). You could run into a situation where Kildee would never have a successor in Congress, if he decided to retirer in a redistring year and his district number changed. That would give false impression of a congressman who never preceeded or succeeded anyone.

As far as succession, we need to stick with the district numbers as the base, regardless of whether the district number shifted geographically from one part of the state to another. Your table helps show the "evolution" of districts, which is also valid. However, I think we need to make it clear that this is an evolution of districts, rather than a official order of succession. Your article name change begins to address that concern, but I'm not sure if it is still the right standard for a broader template for all 50 states. Perhaps you should post on the Project Congress talk page and solicit views of other editors, explaining your goals. I think you've got a good idea going here, and we need to build on it.Dcmacnut (talk) 15:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

California State Assembly districts

Hey there, thanks for the great work you've been doing on Assembly district articles – they're looking great. I just wanted to draw your attention to swing – it's not a measure that's often used in American politics (it's actually far better suited to parliamentary rather than presidential systems). There's a legitimate discussion to be had as to whether it should be included in U.S. election results but, leaving that aside for a minute, you should know that the swing is calculated as the average of the change in share of the two major parties. Thus, the 2006 swing in the 30th district is –3.5%, not –7.0%. I'll go through them all at some point and correct the swings. Thanks again. — Lincolnite (talk) 11:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, one more thing. Per the Manual of Style, only the first word of a heading should be capitalized, not subsequent words (unless they're proper nouns, of course). So "District Profile" should be "District profile", etc. — Lincolnite (talk) 12:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some changes to election pages

I would like to propose that on California State Assembly elections, 2008 and California State Senate elections, 2008 we use this table in place of the election box template. I believe that the table is more fluid and more concise. The majority, swing, and ±% parameters of the election box are often irrelevant and difficult to understand for most readers and editors. You can see an example of the table as implemented here. Because you are an influential editor of Californian election articles, your feedback and opinions will be appreciated. – Zntrip 17:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t mean to impose, but I was holding of on editing until I got your input. – Zntrip 22:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like the new template and plan to implement it. One minor change that I'll make is to lower case the word "ballots". One last thing, for congressional elections I think we should stick to links to the national parties (since it is a national office). For state offices, we'll keep the state party links. – Zntrip 00:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Socal gal at heart (talk) 00:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose we might as well eliminate using bold face for the winner, since we can’t have the party name in bold as well. – Zntrip 00:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll start working on election pages. – Zntrip 01:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

If a user is deleting the Gotta Get a Yeti lines and you were saying that you've seen that episode, why don't someone upload a clip of it so the user can see for himself, and the issue is resolved.

Signed, Stealed and Delivered

I think he probably was deleting the "It's time...to catch...Carmen Sandiego" lines because it was already listed in Might Takes Wright. He believes those lines oughta be listed only under Might Takes Wright, because it was the first time it was used. Something that's done the same way of the office sketches by putting the quotes under the episode of its possible first appearance. Like for example of the quotes of the office sketch involving the office as Grand Central Station originally listed under Rude Robot's Reckless Ridiculous Rocket Ripoff, they were later switched under Robot Robotnapper, because it was the first time that office sketch was used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.44.39 (talk) 22:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bot Usage

Regarding your list of contributions, especially the time stamps, it's obvious that many of your edits are made automatically. However, there isn't any explanation of your bot usage on your user page, nor is there any mentioning in the edit summaries. Also, the somewhat arbitrary usage of the bot (Looks like you're adding ONLY Republican representatives to town articles)is a onesided manipulation and not encyclopedian work. I don't think this is in compliance with Wikipedia:Bot policy. Pls make the necessary changes to comply with that policy. 89.182.194.107 (talk) 12:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Total valid votes

Hello, I would first like to thank you for all the work you did, the congressional and presidential election pages that you have completed. The amount and quality of your work is truly remarkable. I also wanted to know what the reason for the new “total valid votes” section in the election boxes is. I feel that it is easily deduced (if anyone wanted that information) and that it really doesn’t contribute anything to the pages. – Zntrip 21:31, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding info about the office sketches on Wikiquote

Excuse me, but I think that the reason the information of the office sketches had been gone was because 216.189.213.3 says that they are not important to have on there and I'm seeming to agree with him. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 19:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gotta Get A Yeti

If you say you've lost the tape, well, I found the episode on Megaupload and here are the links.

In the Rat Bird Seat

There was one more thing that I hear that some people were really wanting to see.

In the Rat Bird Seat Part 1: [7] In the Rat Bird Seat Part 2: [8] In the Rat Bird Seat Part 3: [9]

By the way, do you think you could inform whoever's wondering where these had come from that I've found them via Megaupload? I haven't seen much of them on there, but I was knowing that some people were wanting to see these, because of memorable events. Also in case you're wondering, along with other people, I haven't seen Kneemoi's debut episode. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 23:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

tvcollector25 on Dailymotion

I just wanted to say that I don't mean to startle tvcollector25 about this, but I know that i thought of revealing to you a Megaupload link of Gotta Get A Yeti just to get the issue on Wikiquote resolved. Also from these other episodes you've been noticing, I've been helping out making updates on the episode guide page and on TV.com, but the editor was wanting to know how I'd come up with the information and I had to reveal to him the Megaupload links so he could see. By the way, do you think there is a way to remove the comment tvcollector25 had posted on Oranges of Wrath part 1? Because it's making me feel nervous and I would feel better if the comment is removed. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 01:05, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on The Oranges of Wrath Part 1

I see that you'd removed the comment tvcollector25, but I noticed one more he'd posted. Would you be kind enough to remove it, please? So that I can feel better, because every time I see it, I seem to feel sad and tearful. Also, no offense, but I think these should've been on Dailymotion only. Not Youtube. I guess I probably forgot to tell you or something. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 02:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So will you be removing the comment to have me cheered up? --98.192.44.39 (talk) 04:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. Well, at least I know that I was wanting to help of the Gotta Get a Yeti episode. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 11:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Election articles

Thanks for adding county results to California gubernatorial election articles. One suggestion that I have for your future edits is to create the tables with class="wikitable sortable", which is more aesthetically pleasing than a thick border. You can see my simple change here. Wikitable also conforms to the other tables on the articles. Thanks! Reywas92^Talk 23:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By seeing your contributions I see that you are dedicated to the improvement to California election articles, and I thank you for that, but I'd like to remind you to add a link as reference to anything you add, especially statistics such as the results by county. Thanks, Reywas92^Talk 23:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiquote

Please. I need your help that user Aphaia has falsely accused me of readding episodes that have been deleted by 69.251.229.230 that the episodes are true. Please help me. I would appreciate it greatly. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 01:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is weird, but I know I don't know what the user is thinking. She has protected the page, which I'm really sad about. I know I didn't do anything wrong. I'm innocent. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 01:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think we'll do about this Aphaia person? I know that we've always been allowed on the Carmen Sandiego wikiquote page in the past, but I don't know why she is thinking for us to no longer go to it. I know of course that we always do positive things on it and not negative. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 17:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aphaia has said to me that she believes the article seems to be too humongous and maybe we oughta find a way to make individual sections for seasons or something. I got in touch with her from this link. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Aphaia --98.192.44.39 (talk) 21:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
