The 2012 City Council Election is on June 5, 2012. In addition to choosing three out of five candidates for City Council, voters will decide on a renewal of the Parks Maintenance Tax, Yolo County Superior Court Judge, a state tax on cigarettes, and many other things (this is our presidential primary). There has already been some controversy in both the Council race and the Judge's race, with attack mailers gracing Davisites mailboxes. Get informed and don't forget to vote!

2010-04-01 Rumors of the demise of the wiki were due to the day (April 1st). A new Back Page replaced the Front Page and in a stated effort to "save power" and to "save pixels" the site slowly faded to black over the day, with shrinking text.

Hints for Editing
A good place to start is by checking out the Davis Wiki Guide.
A Wiki is a linked set of pages that anybody can edit and contribute to if they have the time, access to internet, and a computer.
Wikipedia is the prime example of a successful wiki project. Also, check out
Why Wiki Works for some information on the philosophy of wiki.
If you want to practice editing you can play around in the Wiki Sand Box, or you may first want to check out our FAQ. We also have a list of All Pages in the wiki.
Feel free to make new pages! — and try to remember to link them. Also, if you don't know where to start or don't have any ideas, check out To Do.
To see the most recent edits made you can look at the Recent Changes page. Also, be sure to check your userpage as people will at times leave you comments on there.
Need help fixing something? — While you can fix almost everything (just create an account and you can edit all content on this site!), sometimes it can be confusing... or you might have found an actual problem with the site itself. Click here to ask for help (or help those in need).
