I'm trying to elaborate on a page in the California topic. Wikipedia's mention of The Mineta Transportation Institute, affiliated with San Jose State University, is currently a stub. We (the people who "own" the Institute) have tried to enlarge the content with much more detail. But it's always reverted back to the stub. How do we work with someone to post the necessary information? Donna Maurillo ("GinaCucina")GinaCucina (talk) 22:52, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gina, I've no idea why you've posted here, but anyway, the problems with your version include apparent copyright violation, adding an instance of file:example.jpg, and removing categories. In future, I suggest you use the article talk page, or your user talk page, where I've left a note. PhilKnight (talk) 00:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify my reference to the Culture of California in the beginning of this article: Just because California has a very large internet population, it does not necessarily mean that most Californian Wikipedians want to edit "general California topics" as per the scope of the California WikiProject. Since California is a melting pot of a diverse range of interests and tastes, more Californian Wikipedians tend to want to edit and focus more on these specific, narrow topics.
