Talk:The Viper Room

message: I've looked around for a source on the London Fog thing and I'm pretty sure it's not true that it was at the Viper Room's current location.
Everything I can find says that the "London Fog" was in the space that is now Duke's Coffee Shop (8909 W. Sunset), immediately west of the Whisky. It does seem verifiable that The Doors were the house band at the London Fog and started as the Whisky's house band the day after being fired from London Fog.
I believe the reason the Viper/London Fog connection was made up is that the Viper Room was used as the filming location for the "London Fog" in the movie The Doors. Mike Dillon 05:10, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems like a good synopsis of the Sunset Strip in the late 60s, early 70s: "Sunset As Memory Lane". It's quite clear, as are many other more anecdotal references, that London Fog was adjacent to the Whisky, where Duke's is now. I would simply remove the paragraph, but there is a London Fog (nightclub) redirect pointing here, so I'm just noting the reference here so I don't lose it. Mike Dillon 02:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

text: It wasn't the Viper Room at the time. The building itself has been a nightclub since at least the 1940s. Mike Dillon 18:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

:Avoid overlinking dates
:If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so. Make only links relevant to the context for the reasons that it's usually undesirable to insert low-value chronological links.
:Usage of links for date preferences
:* year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
:* month only. So April → April. Generally, do not link
:* century. So 20th century → 20th century. Generally, do not link
:* decade. So 1970s → 1970s. Generally, do not link (Including an apostrophe [1970's] is incorrect)
:* year and month. So April 1974 → April 1974 Generally, do not link
:* new year and month. So April 2000 → April 2000 Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic. Presently, articles only exist for combinations from the year 2000 to current
:* day of the week (with or without other date elements). So Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally, do not link.--Tenebrae 03:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
