Talk:Demographics of California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is being created as a daughter article with material transfered from the California article, and a new intro added.

When this material was transfered, there were undated Disputed and Contradict itself tags, which I have removed, with the invitation that whoever posted those tags on the original material is certainly welcome to re-post those tags, with an explanation on this page of the reason for re-posting those tags.

[edit] dead link material

The following material has a dead link as its only source, and is being placed here for further discussion:

In actual practice, California's official-English law is not strictly enforced; many state, city, and local government agencies continue to print official public documents in other languages.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/14627728.htm | title=English already is "official" in California|first=Dana |last=Hull|publisher=[[San Jose Mercury News]] | date=2006-05-20 | accessdate=2006-06-28}}</ref>

The statement appears, in any event, to be a confusion - the "English-only law" typically relates to teaching in public schools, not to other state actions. If anyone can supply an up-to-date source (and an accurate statement), please do so.NorCalHistory 14:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] template

These 'Demographic templates' are highly wrong and out of date; Please delete them. Thanks you!! Dwilso 05:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

If they are out of date, they can be updated. But they reference 2005 data, the same as used in the text of article (where it isn't referenced, by the way). If you have any problems with the template please discuss it with me. Gimmetrow 22:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
