Talk:San Pedro, Los Angeles

message: "This anomaly stems from the refusal of the Caucasian Community's ability to accept that Spanish is indeed a majority language used in California." I would expect the correct American English pronunciation to be PED-row, not PEE-droh. I'd like to see a reference for the statement. (There are other examples, too, of Spanish-origin names being pronounced in a way inconsistent with the way they would be pronounced in English, e.g. Refugio, Texas.)--Curtis Clark 16:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: curious, since the SPANISH are a CAUCASIAN/EUROPEAN people.  even MEXICANS (I assume you were trying to blame whitey) who speak Spanish have a lot of Caucasian heritage.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.45.156 (talk) 21:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

text: yah, a citation would be nice.  The fact that non-spanish speaking residents DO say "EE" instead of "AY" or "EH" is a bit of info that might be found in a linguist's research on LA dialects (maybe).  However, the argument that "the caucasian community" pronounces it this way because they "refuse....to accept that Spanish is indeed a majority language" does not necessarily hold water.  It is logically possible to both accept that Spanish is a majority language in California AND to be unable or unused to pronouncing Spanish words or names with a spanish pronunciation or accent.  It also smacks of being un-NPOV, does it not? J Lorraine 06:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: "This tiny strip of track is of no use to anyone(except tourists for photo-op value) and stands as testament to pork spending within municipal bureaucracy."
Does anyone else think this is a negative statement and made from an un-NPOV? J Lorraine 06:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Much appreciation to Soulparadox for his or her hard work. I have, however, marked the section for attention here because it seems to me that it is overly detailed and that it should merely list the names of the residents, with a short descriptive title, and that all the other information should go in the articles about the persons involved. What do you say? GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:08, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the level of detail is too much for an article on the neighborhood, although the work is good.  I support spinning off a list of notable residents of San Pedro to a separate article and trimming down the descriptions here to one or two words as is standard in these neighborhood articles or else moving the extra information to the articles on the people, or even doing both.  I think the list as it stands is undue weight for this article.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:30, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I've removed all the images, but editors are welcome to return any of them to the article. See Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Image_galleries. Just be selective and put them back only if necessary for the readers' understanding of the article. GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:51, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which images to use? 

message: Somebody has gone to great lengths to flesh out the Notable Residents section of this article, but some other editors have decried its length and breadth (see above). Can we have a general discussion about what should be done with this section? Thank you, GeorgeLouis (talk) 14:40, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Regarding this material: Usually we don't put external links in the middle of articles like this; perhaps just a line about the event would be better?  Also, if you're associated with the BID you shouldn't be adding links to your organization's web pages without discussing it on the talk page; see WP:COI for details.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
