California elections, November 2012

I don't know why you changed my use of "Initiative" back to "Initiated", but the latter is not a word that is used anywhere in California that I'm aware of. The usual term, including in voter information pamphlets, is "Initiative Statute" or "Initiative Constitutional Amendment."

I'm going give you an opportunity to reply before I change it back to the correct wording, simply because I don't want to get into an edit war. But I live in California and have voted in every primary and general election since 1968, when I first became old enough to vote. Do you even live in California? Do you know anything about the terminology used in California elections? Bgoldnyxnet (talk) 20:50, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I am not sure whose "talk" page I should reply on, so I will do both. I did not change initiative back to initiated. The original phrase was initiated state statute, which redirected to the initiative page. I had no issue with your change, except that when you made your change the link no longer worked. I only removed the word "state", as it seemed redundant for a page on a California election, and then added the brackets to link initiative and statute to their respective pages. This is the current text in question: initiative statute. As you can see it is still initiatIVE and not initiatED. If this didn't answer your question, please let me know.

Thanks

p.s. I almost forgot... as I agreed with your change, I also changed the two initiated constitutional amendment to read initiative constitutional amendment. The later redirects to initiative, but the former has it's own page. This also seems redundant as constitutional amendments are covered along with statutes on the initiative page.
