Talk:Mayor of Los Angeles

message: I noticed that Mayor of Los Angeles redirects to this list.  Why not have a page all about the mayor and his job and all the background on him and then inside that page include all the lists that are on this page? -- Cmdrbond 21:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree (similar to lists of prime ministers and articles on the office). Though, for now, the description of the office itself is quite short. The situation is similar to many other lists of mayors. Unless the description is quite lenghty (and different from that of the same office in other cities in the state), I'd keep the redirect. The details on the mayoral races might warrant a separate page. -- User:Docu—Preceding undated comment added by Docu (talk • contribs) 22:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree too. "Mayor" makes more sense for a main article title than "list of mayors". The list is a component, but it is more generally about the office. -Willmcw 09:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should we change this to Mayor of Los Angeles? 

message: Why is there a gap, January 13, 1855–January 25, 1855? The mayors preceeding this time and the one after all served May to May, so it seems odd that there is a break for this time... but even weirder that it's the same mayor before and after it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.13.132.150 (talk) 04:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Couldn't this page List of mayors of Los Angeles (pre-statehood mayors) be better named ?   Something like List of pre-statehood mayors of Los Angeles, California following the governor's list List of pre-statehood governors of California - although not as directly connected to Statehood.Emargie (talk) 18:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See also List of pre-statehood mayors of San Francisco , List of pre-statehood mayors of San Diego, California.  Emargie (talk) 15:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Moved to List of pre-statehood mayors of Los Angeles, California.  Note that there is also a page List of mayors of Los Angeles, California (post statehood) that currently re-directs to Mayor of Los Angeles, California#List of mayors.   The page List of mayors of Los Angeles, CA (post statehood) currently re-directs to Mayor of Los Angeles, California#List of mayorscould be deleted.Emargie (talk) 17:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I just noticed that for 1929 and 1932, William E. Bonelli is listed as the/a losing candidate, yet clicking on his name redirects to William G. Bonelli.  On the "G" page (and the JoinCalifornia website which was the apparent source), he's listed as having run unsuccessfully for mayor both years.  I presume that "G" is correct based on the available information (a search for "E" turned up no credible references), and will change it from "E" to "G" for both entries, however I wanted to put an extended note here in case someone is able to document that "E" is actually correct and I am mistaken.

message: I deleted this recently added paragraph because the chair of the Board of Supervisors is just never referred to as the County Mayor, except maybe in an L.A. Times headline, and there seems to be no chance of confusing the two offices.
The title should not be confused with the mayor of Los Angeles County, which refers to the chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The County mayor title is purely ceremonial.

message: They should not be listed here. The council president is always acting mayor when the mayor is out of the state. For example, G. Vernon Bennett was acting mayor when Fletcher Bowron went gallivanting. What do the rest of you think? Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:21, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Having heard no objection, I removed the three acting mayors. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 14:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The acting mayors listed are those that were acting at times when there was no regular mayor, in or out of state. They should be listed. There is plenty of precedent for this practice in other lists of executive offices. Otherwise, you have inexplicable gaps in the list.WQUlrich (talk) 19:57, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No matter how you slice it though, these estimable placeholders were not the Mayor of Los Angeles, as the title of the article indicates. GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:50, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Acting mayors 

message: I added the party color to the list so that this list would match the featured list for Mayor of San Francisco more closely. I personally like including the colors because it makes it easier to visualize the political party at a glance better than with just text. It also seems like this standard that is generally accepted for other featured lists of mayors. Finally, I don't think that the fact that the coding is a little more complicated in and of itself should be a concern since this will be transparent to most users. I didn't want to revert back the edit without some discussion first, and I'm interested to see what other people think. mcd51 (talk) 15:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked at a few other lists of politicians, including List of Governors of California (featured), List of Presidents of the United States, and List of United States Senators from California, and it really looks like the standard is to show party color on lists of US politicians. I'm going to go ahead and restore the version with party color. If people have specific concerns about how this particular list is formatted, I'm happy to work toward consensus on making changes. mcd51 (talk) 14:44, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
