Marijuana paragraph outdated with the passing of Amendment 64

In the paragraph on Denver legalizing marijuana under "Government" there are a few sentences that are out of date with the passage of Amendment 64: "This initiative does not usurp state law, which currently treats marijuana possession in much the same way as a speeding ticket with fines of up to $100 and no jail time.[74] The electorate of Colorado voted on and rejected a similar statewide initiative in November 2006."

"citizen mobilized" is a typo that needs an "s": "citizens mobilized". 67.160.69.105 (talk) 15:22, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Neighborhoods

As a native and resident of Denver for a long period of my life I disagree that Denver does not have any general area designations. Natives know that North Denver is the area north of Colfax and West of I-25.

Also, the map of neighborhoods has some inaccuracies. The neighborhood labeled Chic Center is called the Golden Triangle. The neighborhood labeled Speer is commonly called Alamo-Placita. The area labeled Union Station is more commonly known as LoDo.MahaDave (talk) 06:25, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

The only thing in the above that I can concur with is LoDo; the rest is much less clear. Many maps include Speer as being the name of the neighborhood just east of Baker, for example, and "North Denver" is not at all limited to the area west of I-25. siafu (talk) 16:38, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

The neighborhood map is based on the official Denver statistical neighborhoods map. Thus the names of the neighborhoods are what the City and County of Denver recognize as the official names of the neighborhoods. LoDo, the Golden Triangle, etc. might be the commonly used names for these areas but aren't the official names. As for the general areas there are no larger collections made up of specific neighborhoods (such as in Chicago) that are officially sanctioned or commonly used, AFAIK. However if anyone can find some good references that say otherwise, we should include them in the article. -Killian441 (talk) 22:34, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
