Griffin5's photo replacement on 5 Apr 2008 was asinine

Just caught this. Griffin5 replaced my photo, which has been in this article for years with no problems, with an inferior photo of his/hers on 5 Apr 2008. That was an incredibly dumb idea. Griffin5's photo was shot into the sun on a cloudy day, with the result that the clouds end up becoming the subject of the photo rather than the state capitol. I have brought back my photo in which the sun was to my back and therefore all the features of the Capitol are properly lit. --Coolcaesar (talk) 04:07, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to be civil and avoid attacking editors. Comment on the action not the editor. ----moreno oso (talk) 03:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At no point were they attacking an editor. They called into question the reason for the change and the quality of the photo itself. However, thanks for responding with a not so helpful comment over 16 months later. Killiondude (talk) 06:02, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Capitol Building Grounds

I see no mention of the beautiful gardens, park, and statues to the back of the Capitol Building. Are they not a part of the Capitol ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myassisdragon (talk • contribs) 08:24, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

sounds like a wonderful paragraph for you to contribute to the article. --emerson7 15:59, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2001 truck attack

So Michael Bowers apparently attacked the building because he didn't like Gray Davis. The article linked is really fucking vague about it. Whats the story? There HAS to be a story here, and it ought to be in the article. --71.32.220.235 (talk) 06:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

This article misspells the word "capital", seat of government, and misuses the word "capitol", a building in Washington or doric column. Look it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.211.21.71 (talk • contribs)

@74.211.21.71: Feel free to make changes. Be bold! Killiondude (talk) 00:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The California State Capitol, located in Sacramento, is the seat of the California government. The building houses the chambers of the California State Legislature, comprising the Assembly and the Senate, along with the office of the governor of California. The Neoclassical structure was designed by Reuben S. Clark and completed between 1861 and 1874. The California State Capitol Museum is housed on its grounds.
