Probable Errors Regarding CA's 50th and 5nd congressional districts[edit]

Hi,

I don't feel well enough versed on this to actually edit the page but I'd like someone who knows more about the subject to consider my points. Here's a map to refer to: http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/voters/Eng/maps/Cust-Rdy_Congress.jpg

This article and anchor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_California,_2012#District_50

says:

  District 50
  The 50th district is based in inland San Diego County and includes Escondido and Santee.

This is not true AFAIK. The 50th district as it exists in 2012 contains Escondido, Carlsbad, DelMar; and Rancho Penasquitos, Mira Mesa, and MCAS Miramar, all in the City of San Diego. It is as much coastal as inland and is not even close to Santee.

Down a little farther on the same page, find:

  District 52
  The 52nd district is based in coastal San Diego and includes La Jolla and Poway

Looking at the same map, you can see it doesn't even touch the coastline and doesn't cross SR-163 and I-805 so it doesn't include any part of LaJolla (covered by the 50th and 53rd districts).

Some of these errors may be from the redistricting done after the 2010 census, the but the label atop each chart of candidates on this page says "California's XXth congressional district primary election, 2012" so the articel should be current.

Thanks for all the wonderful info you provide to the world.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Xe8472 (October 25)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by David.moreno72 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Xe8472 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Xe8472[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Xe8472 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.mactech.com/2016/03/17/kool-tools-xe8472-photoshop-plug. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
