[edit] Lincoln Acres, California

If the unincorporated community of Lincoln Acres is totally within National City, then it is an usually enclave. BlankVerse 14:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


Thanks for the info. I notice on the San Diego County website under their General Plan for 2020 they refer to Lincoln Acres and two other places as "county islands," since they're surrounded by other incorporated cities and not part of the contiguous unincorporated county land.

A county island is specific name for an enclave of unincorporated county land within an incorporated city, so you could also use that description.
I know that in Orange County, the Orange County Local Area Formation Committee, is trying very hard to eliminate as many 'county islands' and other small unincorporated areas as possible (LAFCO's are responsible for approving the creation of new cities, annexations of unincorporated areas, and determining the "sphere of influence" for cities on nearby unincorporated areas). You might check to see if the San Diego LAFCO has their minutes and other information online so that you can see what the current status of Lincoln Acres is.
Also: Try to always use the special wikicode instead of HTML (I know that it can look confusing and intimidating when you first start editing on the Wikipedia, but it is much easier than HTML once you learn it). And when you reply to a comment on a talk page, you usually indent your reply by adding a colon at the beginning of the line. BlankVerse 10:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm still learning. It's becoming quite addictive, and I'm spending too much time on Wikipedia from work! Eric Bekins 18:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BYU Template

So, do you like most of the current {{User BYU}} except for the Y? At one point the Y looked chopped, but not any more. Yes, we can make the Y a bit taller than the B and the U. That would be a minor change, though. Do you want to experiment yourself (using the ones on the talk page) to find something that you like better than what we have now? Let me know if you need guidance on how to do that. --NThurston 20:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UCSD school of Law

I was under the impression UCSD and Cal Western school of laws were working together, so UCSD students can get a law degree. [1]; However, I just looked intoit futher and I found out there is only one degree UCSD offers with Cal Western, a degree in Health Law. So, if USCD only offers one degree (as far as I know) relating to law, then I guess you are right and they do not have a law school, but rather they use resources at Cal Western to get a limited law degree. Thanks for clarifying. -ChristopherMannMcKay 15:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For your reversion power. It's nice to know someone else is doing this too. --JDitto 07:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
