Colorado Amendment 38 (2006)Colorado Amendment 38


Also these:-


  • I would object to these and all similar requests as inconsistent with WP:CRITERIA on grounds that the elimination of parenthetical years creates less consistency across the project while losing precision and conciseness. Although there are some jurisdictions which re-use initiative/measure/referenda/issue/amendment titles, there are some which do not, and there are some jurisdictions which change the policy from doing so to not doing so. I assume that this is where the current convention of Jurisdiction + Type + Number + (Parenthetical Year) came from, and which can be observed (until very recently) at places such as Category:Initiatives_in_the_United_States Category:Initiatives_in_the_United_States Category:Initiatives_in_the_United_States
    The basic title format of State + Type + Number + (Parenthetical year) provides maximal information very concisely: California Proposition 13 (1978), Oregon Ballot Measure 9 (1992), Washington Referendum 71 (2009), Washington Initiative 502 (2011), and Colorado Amendment 64 (2012). Redirects such as Proposition 13 can easily be established for famous items or from year-to-year, with those easily converted do disambiguation pages as needed should similar titles be WP:Notable. The State + Type + Number + (Parenthetical year) format is well established for many states, if not most, and this seems to me the simplest, soundest, most comprehensive and least ambiguous solution. This article, with its previous parenthetical year number, was consistent with long-established practice across all of Wikipedia. The permanent article should include the year number, with redirects such as Initiative 502 created or changed as necessary.
    I would also not that this is a slightly obscure corner of Wikipedia and suggest that, for maximum discussion,the topic be brought for discussion in more visible places such as project and category pages. Rorybowman (talk) 22:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
