Information presented

I wonder whether it might be more useful to list not only the parties of California's elected officials, but also who held the state's offices. I've started a number of similar pages with this information listed; they are linked to in the category box at the bottom of this article. Any thoughts? Qqqqqq (talk) 20:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to adjust the width of the table to make it look more organized, but none of my tries are working. Any one know how to widen the table? Socal gal at heart (talk) 09:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Socal gal. What do you have in mind? It seems to display fine on my monitor; what do you think would make the table look more organized? By the way, amazing work completing the rest of the table! Qqqqqq (talk) 03:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Direction of Information?

I was looking through the other states information and the few I looked through had the information going oldest to newest. California has the newest on top and oldest on the bottom. I don't care which way it is but I think they should all be uniform. NeoJustin ^{(Talk page)} 04:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All other states' articles are from oldest to newest; California is the lone exception. Some adventurous soul could take a stab at making this article conform to the rest in the series ... ;) Qqqqqq (talk) 15:22, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Took me forever to muster the time to do it, but it's done! @Qqqqqq: @NeoJustin: Nevermore27 (talk) 06:08, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for doing that. NeoJustin ^{(Talk page)} 05:12, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Results for CA-11 (McNerney, D) and CA-20 (Costa, D)

I left the balance of power tabulation for California's House delegation blank. Like the close and uncalled race of Attorney General, ballots are still being counted for the CA-11 and CA-20 races, so the final balance of power in California's delegation to the House of Representatives has yet to be definitively ascertained.

Some notable errors during the last major update

Hi all,

I just performed a huge update on this article to modernize it by reflecting the results of the 2016 elections and by adding the statewide elected Board of Equalization. While I hope this information proves to be useful in addition to the bulk of the work done before me by other excellent editors, I'm not exactly the most skilled Wikipedia editor and thus have made one repeated flaw that someone else will need to correct for me: anyone whose terms began in the middle of a year (and thus had two name boxes both terminating in the same year) was, for some reason, pushed to line up with the year-end chart lines. I have taken note of exactly who and when was affected:

Spencer G. Millard, Lieutenant Governor. His term began AND ended IN 1895.
Edward P. Colgan, State Controller. His term ended DURING 1906, not after.
George Hearst, Class III Senator. His term started DURING 1892, not after.
Leland Stanford, Class III Senator. His term started DURING 1893, not after.
Goodwin Knight and Harold J. Powers, Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Their terms started DURING 1953, not after.
John L. Harmer, Lieutenant Governor. His term started DURING 1974, not after.

If anyone could go through and fix those errors so that their terms were properly reflected, I would greatly appreciate it (again, I would do it myself if only I knew how.) Thanks everyone! I'll be watching this page so expect a speedy reply if you respond here.

Thanks a bunch, Atat67 (talk) 07:35, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
