Talk:DUI laws in California
I've started the article DUI California, because months ago I discovered that California didn't have its own DUI article, although many other States did. It will take me a week or so to complete this article. My time is limited, however, I intend on trying to make it as complete as one editor can. Others are welcome to contribute.→ Pocketthis (talk) 21:34, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
The article is very basic, however, it does distinguish penalties in California if arrested for DUI from other States. My target audience for the article was intended to be those who are only interested in a DUI as it relates to them in the State of California, in a simplified format. It was expanded on today to show 3rd time offenders minimum penalties. - Pocketthis (talk) 16:36, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
Nobody Owns Wikipedia Articles
Pocketthis (talk · contribs) , in relation to the inappropriate reversion explained,
Don't mess with my article, unless you have a clue what you are doing. I'm averaging the entire cost of getting a DUI. Your redirect doesn't answer that at all
please remember that Wikipedia is a collective project, and nobody owns an article -- including this one. Also, when you say "I'm averaging the entire cost", it means that you are doing what amounts to original research, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your "total cost" is reflective of the legal penalty -- attorney fees are not part of the penalty for a DUI charge. Remember, we're editing in good faith, and we all must keep in mind that other editors may have considerably more subject matter expertise than we do. Also, I did not implement any form of redirect.
If you can justify your reversion in accord with Wikipedia's policies, please provide your explanation. Otherwise, the edits should be restored. Arllaw (talk) 18:20, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- I wrote this article with the help of a friend in DMV, and my personal attorney. Those costs are almost to the penny. Get a life, and get out of my article.Pocketthis (talk) 18:29, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Renaming Article
I agree with 93 (talk · contribs) that this article would be more appropriately titled "DUI Laws in California". Arllaw (talk) 18:23, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
I chose DUI California, because other states have that name for their DUI article. That's the name. Get used to it.→ Pocketthis (talk) 18:32, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
