I was wondering why you moved the page from Mervyn Dymally to Mervyn M. Dymally. The naming convention says that articles should be at the name they are best known in English. Is he better known by that name? Guettarda 03:06, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

"Mervyn Dymally" gets twice the google hits of "Mervyn M. Dymally", so I am not convinced that it is more common usage. Granted, google is not the ultimate source for usage, but this is a more complicated page title. Guettarda 04:14, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

It's not a huge deal, but you should really raise this on the talk page in future before you move a page. Guettarda 04:17, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Since I've noticed you editing articles on California politics, I thought that I would bring to your attention the fairly new California WikiProject, which you might be interested in. There is also another WikiProject specifically for Southern California. BlankVerse ∅ 14:41, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi. As an editor who participated in the discussion regarding renaming Category:United States Students' Unions, I am writing you to let you know that while there was consensus to rename the category there was no clear consensus for the final name. If you would like to revisit the discussion on Category talk:United States Students' Unions I am willing to consider an agreement there and rename the category. I won't be monitoring your talk page so if you have to reply to me directly please do so on my talk page. Thanks! --Syrthiss 19:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

It's not the existence of a single news article, it's the content of the article. Looks like you've deleted a bunch of notable debaters with links from numerous Wikipedia articles? I think you should undelete, these folks are very well known in their community. -- TrinityC 01:13, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

How old Image:CaliforniaSenateSeal.gif is? Thanx 68.39.174.238 04:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Grr. If it could be proven reasonably old we could PD it as pre 1923... 68.39.174.238 05:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

We need to get some legislator in some state (Preferably CA) to actually get passed a bill to PD all State stuff... 68.39.174.238 03:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts to keep the Jim Sensenbrenner article free from vandalism. It's an uphill battle, but worth it in the end. Cheers --BaronLarf 11:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't know if you're aware of these, too, but you might want to add Cheryl Warren Sensenbrenner and Frank Sensenbrenner to your watch list.--BaronLarf 12:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:BobHuff.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

OCNative: I notice you have contributed a lot to the historical charts of CA state assemblymen and senators so I was interested in your opinion on this. I feel the placement of the charts, one on a page ~/historical and on the discussion page, respectively, is out of place. What if we create a page like United States Congressional Delegations from California which will house both charts and call it: California State Legislature Delegations? Cmdrbond 01:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I like Members of the California State Legislature -- I feel that it's not really a "list of" since it's more of a huge table. Do you think you're able to move the two tables to that new page and delete them from the old pages (so people dont edit that page?). Thanks Cmdrbond 07:42, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

López is the correct accentuation of that Castillian family name Gaudio 14:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I did not overreact, I was pointing out that citations are necessary when things of such blatant opinion are inserted into an ENCYCLOPEDIA!!!

As far as I understand this article,Van Tran never did anything outside the politics???

That cant be possible,he surely did something before entering the politics?
