Talk:Eagle Rock, Los Angeles

message: Look gang, I'm fed up with seeing "upper class" "middle class" "upper middle class" wars on this page.  Leave it at "upper middle class" for now, unless you can SOURCE your information.  If I see one more edit on class, I will be removing the line for being WP:OR.  You have been warned.  Timmccloud 00:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Well gang, it looks like the Harry Lauder descendants are now using an IPSock to further their vanity agenda again;Special:Contributions/81.152.59.196.  It was stated in the edit log once before, let me be perfectly clear here: If the "notable resident" doesn't deserve a wikipedia page on their own right, then they are not notable enough for wikipeda references.  Being notable within a specific community is *NOT* notable from an encyclopedic standpoint.  Matthew Lauder, and Matt Jr are just people with a famous relative; that does not make them worth an encyclopedia entry on their own right. Please remove the vanity - if you don't there will be other people that will.  Timmccloud (talk) 15:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting, as if I read the edit hisory correctly you were originally in favour of retaining him here. Is it Wikipedia's explicit policy that every reasonably notable person must have an article page of their own? Matthew Lauder was notable in his own right in L.A.County at the time. 81.151.85.249 (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: People are allowed to change their minds, that's what having an open mind does to you.  No, they aren't required to have their own article, however being locally famous doesn't make you universally famous, and being famous years ago does not mean your moment in the sun can stand the test of time.  Having a wikpieda page dedicated to you is a very good smoke test; if the consensus of wikipedia editors allow the page to remain, then there is a good chance your personal assertation of their notariety will stand up to peer review.  Right now, your edits do NOT pass peer review. Timmccloud (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Matthew Lauder Controversy

message: Would anyone like to comment why the entry on Gang activity in the history keeps getting removed?  Is this some Real Estate agent trying to sell houses in ER, or some gang member displeased with the bad publicity? Timmccloud (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The flagship photo is very nice, with the rock on one side and the full moon on the other, but can't we get something from a slightly less smoggy day?  And yes, I know that's normal but still - I'd like something better to represent Eagle Rock as the first photo... Timmccloud (talk) 00:30, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Describing two incidents of murder in a general section on the history is inappropriate and irrelevant.  Oxy-Librarian (talk) 03:48, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explaining removal of Hillside Strangler and kidnapping. 

message: When you added "moved to a temporary location in Downtown Los Angeles until 1898 when it" to the Eagle Rock, Los Angeles article, did you check it against the source for that paragraph? I tried and it was a dead link. Do you have access to it, so you can correct the link? If you didn't take your information from that source, can you just tell us where you got it from? Thanks?

thread_title:  Sources modified on [[Eagle Rock, Los Angeles]] 

message: What is wrong with Wikipedians (besides myself)?
I did not write the popular culture bit about the fictional character Cole Trickle being mentioned as "from Eagle Rock" in the article.  I did add a source, which has been repeatedly deleted before the actual language was finally removed just because I supposedly provided an "unreliable source".
The page itself asked for sources - so when I provide one it is not allowed?  What is up with that?
As for the source being "unreliable" - it accurately transcripts the relevant line within the movie.  How in the heck can a site that is telling the truth be unreliable? 47.137.189.144 (talk) 04:09, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
