Yes, I just noticed what I did. But I do like the job I did on my page better than the one that is active right now :-). Do you think we should/could replace the existing one with what I have? If so, how would you go about doing that?
Yours is definitely much nicer to look at. My recommendation is to merge your list into the
List of Members of California State Assemblymen to California State Assembly. If you need help with this, let me know and I can assist you. -- Jonel | Speak

Thanks for the prompt reply, I merged the 2 pages together but after clicking edit on one section, it seems to have messed up the section right after it. How do I fix that? the colours seem to be stretched. Also, how do I do that link manipulation you were talking about? The first person, Patty Berg, is also a golfer and the golfer's website is showing instead of the assemblywoman's
I've found out what happened - your table was closed with |-) instead of |} - when a table isn't closed it tends to do very screwy things to the whole article (I've done that myself more times than I'd like to count). The link manipulation by using what's called the "pipe trick" after the piece of punctuation used - the "|" symbol. Inside a wikilink, the portion in front of the pipe is where the link actually goes while the portion after it is what is displayed. Thus, if I put Patty Berg (politician)|Patty Berg in brackets instead of apostrophes, it would do this: Patty Berg. I've done this for all of the assemblymen and assemblywomen that needed it. You can take a look at the syntax to see it in action. Hope this helps! -- Jonel | Speak 05:29, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, now the page looks good. So should I delete the original article that got me into this trouble and if so, how do I go about doing that?
I've already gone ahead and made it a redirect. Only admins (that is, not me) can actually delete a page, but deletion usually isn't necessarily. Especially when there is an article that has the information that someone might be looking for. If you ever need to make a redirect, clear everything on the page and type in #REDIRECT: [[target]] where "target" is the name of the page the redirect points to.
Let me know if you have any other questions or problems. Happy editing! -- Jonel | Speak 05:46, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Just a little help
I am looking at the articles you are posting. Just a tip. You should always wikilink dates. So if it says "(April 23, 1855 - May 8, 1856)", "April 23", "1855", "May 8" and "1856" should all be wikilinked. Just a tip. --Woohookitty(cat scratches)07:23, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{

Hi, I tend to agree that a fair use claim can be made for this image. I wasn't specifically targetting this image - it was on a list of untagged images that I have been gradually working through. I've added a "Politicalposter" tag to the image page, and I've also added a fair use rationale which I think is sufficient. regards Rossrs09:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical articles and categories
Hello. I noticed you created a couple of California politician stubs (
William P. Baker
) and added them to a category. If the title of an article is a person's name, you should use a sort key when putting them in a category, so that people in the category are listed by last name. Example:
[[Category:U.S. Representatives from California|Baker, William P.]]
This will sort Mr. Baker in the "B" section of the category rather than the "W" section. (Note that the category I used as an example has been moved to
