Untitled

This list only covers initiatives to the people and does not cover initiatives to the legislature, which also started their numbering at 1 and are now at around 340. Should another list be created for initiatives to the legislature? It seems like it might be a little cumbersome and confusing to add all the initiatives to the legistlature to this list. --Lukobe 07:34, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think it should be a separate article. For example, Affirmative action links here for I-200, and it is very confusing. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Should we move the current one to List of Washington initiatives to the people and make List of Washington initiatives a disambiguation page? --Lukobe 22:56, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If there's no objection, I'll do it if/when I have time. --Lukobe 06:53, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Lukobe 06:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update on major reconstruction

I'm currently in the process of reformatting every listing into a table, adding a source for each, and adding YES/NO votes. Afterwards, I'll work on linking as many of these as I can to their respective articles, and will most likely create pages for some of the more important ones.

Update 2 - Wow. I completely forgot about this. I'm currently working on a major translation process, but I will be getting back around to this next. Shouldn't be more than one more days work! ThadeusOfNazereth^{Talk to Me!} 06:41, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I severely overestimated how mindnumbingly boring updating this article would be. I plan on continuing, but it's not taking priority for me at the moment. ThadeusOfNazereth^{Talk to Me!} 03:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Advisory Votes

Should we be listing advisory votes here as well? They're on the ballot and are voted on, but AFAIK don't actually have any legally binding impact. I don't have a problem with adding them, it'll just be repetitive since they're all some variation of "Should we have a new tax in X amount". Tagging @SounderBruce and @Reywas92 as editors who helped get this to FL status. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/they)^{Talk to Me!} 18:56, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think they're necessary since they're entirely non-binding, would just be clutter. Reywas92^Talk 20:50, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
