text: I support merging both lists. Dananderson 03:43, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I also support the merge, seeing that both articles contain the same information, presumably.  SiriusAlphaCMa 03:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

:Bioguide says that William Vann Rogers, Jr. was a Congressman from California from 1943-1944.  Look more carefully next time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mazallen (talk • contribs) 23:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: He served between 1950 and 1953, not 1949 and 1951, is there a way to change that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethan c.00 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

message: With the large number of House districts in California, even going back several decades, one has to scroll horizontally quite a bit. It seems to me it would be more sensible to pivot the tables 90°, with the Congresses (110th, 111th, 112th, etc.) as the columns and the districts as rows. That would put California out of sync with other states, but no other state has ever had 50+ districts. (The closest any other state has gotten was New York with 45, from 1933 to 1953.) Of course, any state with even 10 districts would likely benefit from a similar reorientation.
On the other hand, the new tables would take less total screen area, since the decrease in width would be greater than the increase in height, plus the major advantage of allowing most users to scroll through the entire article linearly instead of having to zigzag. It would also make it much less confusing to edit the tables, since the Nth district rep's would all be grouped together, instead of all the new rep's of the Nth Congress.
Here's what it might look like (showing just the first 5 districts, for the current decade): Lincmad (talk) 23:46, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

message: There are at least a couple of errors in the residences of members of the current delegation.
Doug LaMalfa, in District 1, is from the tiny town of Richvale, not Oroville. And Darrell Issa, in District 48, is--according to the infobox in his Wikipedia article--a resident of Vista, not San Diego.
I thought it would be a simple matter to edit these entries in the table, but there's no indication of how to do so. Can someone help? Rontrigger (talk) 11:50, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: The House website is of no use. I clicked there on Doug LaMalfa and the only mention of his hometown, backing up my edit to Richvale, is in a press release. (In fact, the only links in that website are to press releases and other pro-member propaganda!) I know that Richvale is correct because it's identified in several biographical pieces (such as LinkedIn, the Los Angeles Times and his local newspaper, the Chico Enterprise-Record). He was BORN in Oroville and likely that's where the nearest hospital is to Richvale, where LaMalfa still is the (fourth-generation!) owner and operator of the family rice farm. (I myself was born and raised in similar circumstances.) Congressional hometowns need to be verified through (at least minimal) research. Rontrigger (talk) 22:45, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I'm not clear enough, so let me explain. If you can back it up with a WP:RS, go for it with an inline citation. Otherwise, House website is the most reliable source we've got. If it says a member resides somewhere, there is at least some truth to it. Maybe the member hasn't lived there in ages, but he has some property there anyways, or something like that. But, we can't go adding original research (WP:NOR) for which there is no evidence. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 22:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
