April 30
NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Referenda in the United States
Rename to Ballot measures in the United States or Ballot propositions in the United States. Based on the current contents of this category, it would be better named "Ballot measures in the United States" or "Ballot propositions in the United States."
There are 3 types of ballot measures/propositions:
- initiatives, which are put on the ballot by popular petition;
- referenda, which repeal an act of the legislature; and
- legislative referrals, which the legislature votes to place on the ballot.
(None of this is currently explained very adequately on the Wikipedia pages; I intend to fix them when I get the chance.)
Since US state pages break down measures by year, not by type, it would make more sense for the parent category to include all 3 types.

- Comment from reading www.iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i&r.htm, it appears that the best title might be Category:Initiatives and referendums in the United States. Do you have any references to support your preferred wording? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
