Gov detail

I wonder if the table of Gubernatorial elections, which takes up over half the length of this particular article, should be moved onto a separate page? Is there another page that lists the same thing? I believe that this article, Elections in California, should be general information.

Thoughts? Chadlupkes (talk) 19:15, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking that exact same thing. I moved the table to List of Governors of California page. Socal gal at heart (talk) 03:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Future elections

The election currently listed under Future elections is past, and future elections with wiki pages (e.g. San Francisco mayoral election, 2011) are not linked. An update is necessary -- Pbro (talk) 22:10, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Primaries

@Natg 19 and Onel5969: We should not link to partisan primary or nonpartisan primary when we just mean primary election. The system changed with 2010 California Proposition 14, so there are places in this article where linking to one or the other is misleading. Consider continuing this comment at My comment at Talk:Primary election where I suggested changing primary election back to not being a disambiguation page. I reverted Onel5969's edit, but to avoid starting an edit war, I've left Natg 19's. Would Natg 19 be willing to self-revert? I get that these edits are in good faith, but where they links just doesn't end up making sense. McYeee (talk) 02:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The change was for a primary election in 2008, predating the 2010 proposition. "Primary elections were held in March or June until 2008, when they were held in February." Onel5969 ^{TT me} 09:40, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unlinked primary election as a compromise for now. Natg 19 (talk) 16:52, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I read that sentence as being equivalent to "Primary elections were held in March or June until 2008. Since then Primary elections have been held in February." So, I think we should go back to linking Primary elections. It's not a disambiguation page anymore. McYeee (talk) 02:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
