Talk:Georgia's 4th congressional district

Out-of-date map and other page content

Ok, I've reverted all of the edits since Cuivienen's edit, since it was easiest to do, and none of the subsequent edits added significant value compared to the edit before it.

First, I'm not sure I disagree that it is appropriate to display a map of the previous district lines, if an appropriate notation is made and described in the article. I personally choose not to re-add the map, however, because I think people might find it confusing if there's no current map to compare it to. I don't object to others adding it, though, if the appropriate notations and descriptions are included.

Second, and more importantly, all Cuivienen did was replace the previous edit I made. The version of the article prior to my edit had several mistakes of fact in it (the district was not most recently drawn in 1996, for example), and it is for that reason that I have completely reverted the article back to my edited form.

Third, I do not think hypothetical vote projections as was included in the previous final sentence of the article fit the notability criteria for Wikipedia, so I have chosen not to include that sentence in my reversion, as well. It is more accurate (and certainly worthy of note) to say that the district has historically supported the Democratic party. If someone else chooses to re-add the statistical numbers, you should also include a citation for that number. --Jhortman 21:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I've added an external link to GovTack.us, where a (Google) map of the new district can be seen. However, does the article's list of included counties still apply? -Tobogganoggin ^talk 02:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, looks like the same counties apply. -Tobogganoggin ^talk 03:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that link... that's a great resource. --Jhortman 02:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

History

Shouldn't there be a reference to Miller v. Johnson in the article somewhere? Akubhai 21:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, Miller v. Johnson was brought in relation to the 11th District, not the 4th. With that said, it would definitely be appropriate to mention the case somewhere on that page. I don't know that it's notable here simply because of the fact that the case involved racial gerrymandering, and the 4th is majority African-American. --Jhortman 22:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
