Congressional district map
I don't think the map appearing at the top of the page is correct. Looks like the 19th district, not the 16th. 155.201.150.21 (talk) 19:14, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You should read the description right below the map. Redistricting has renumbered many districts, including this one. — twotwofourtysix (talk &#124;&#124; edits) 12:56, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Terminology
The current organization of the articles on California House districts is misleading at best, given the extent to which districts change location over time. The current 16th District does not overlap the 2013-23 16th District at all, so showing the history of the "16th District" is misleading. I'm not sure how to fix this problem, but I think this article would be more informative if it talked about the history of whatever the historical district(s) that most closely overlaps the current district, rather than the district that has been named the "16th". The current 16th district is the successor to the 2013-23 18th district, not to the old 16th district. Rks13 (talk) 01:54, 18 January 2023 (UTC)


 * All US congressional district articles correspond to the old district lines under the same number, regardless of where it might be or whether they're swapped with one another. Your suggestion of the history section showing the district that "most closely overlaps the current district" would be confusing if a former congressman represented an old district but which actually links to a completely separate district. Also, that criteria is pretty vague and practically unworkable in Wikipedia. We already have representatives listed as being "redistricted from/to" another district, as well as the prose explaining the situation and linking to the different old and new districts; I'm fine with that. — twotwofourtysix (talk &#124;&#124; edits) 02:53, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
