message: @Billinghurst 
You removed the reference I added yesterday. It has also been removed from the French Wikipedia. May I know the reason for this deletion? This is a recent, detailed and sourced scientific article on Vieuxtemps which seems to me to deserve to be included in the article. Could you undo the removing? Ralbetier (talk) 06:59, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You added an external link, rather than a reference--which would be use as citing sources when adding extra information. There was no particular clarity on the addition on any wiki, no demonstration that we had a reliable source and it was spam-like in its addition. We are not a directory so some caution in the methodology so it looks less spammy and that you are showing due consideration of any addition. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your reply. I have added the article as an external link rather than as a reference, and by formulating it more succinctly. As far as the reliability of the article is concerned, this is a recent academic publication that fully meets standard scientific criteria, as one contributor on the German wiki also pointed out.

Talk:Los Angeles Fire Department

Talk:Los Angeles Harbor Light

message: In a posting in the WikiProject on Lighthouses, User:Jimbthom asked: "How can I contribute to the Los Angeles Harbor Light page.
I served on the light in the early 1960's. I found little information on the Internet on L.A. light a few years ago and decided to take on the task of researching the history of the light and create a website exclusively all about the light. I spend a couple of years but only got about half way through when I had to put the project on hold. I haven't worked on it since 2004 so I removed the data at that time. I recently gave some thought to resuming the project. However, I realize that a website that I maintained would only be short term as I am getting along in age. I then found that there was one on Wikiipedia. I found some of the info came from my research that I sharred with others, which is good. I also found some info that was incorrect or was incomplete.
I have over 100 photos, some 30 pages of Word Documents (lots of raw data and resource information). I also have a PowerPoint presentation of over 70 slides.
Is there any intrest by the WikiProject Lighthouses project in my research?

Talk:Los Angeles River bicycle path

message: From what I can tell, "LARIO" is just a local name for the combination of the lower, east-side-of-river section of the subject of this article, and the Rio Hondo bicycle path... correct me if I'm wrong. --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 21:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose, for now: It seems the Los Angeles River Bicycle Path is a name used for the entire 51 mile planned LA River route from Long Beach to Canoga Park, with current completed pedestrian/bicycle path sections having asphalt or DG (decomposed granite) pavement. It seems the Los Angeles River Bikeway/LARIO is a name used for only the lower river section from Long Beach to Vernon, which is an asphalt paved "Class 1" bikeway.  The east-side-of-river section connection to the Rio Hondo bicycle path seems to not be distinguished by a name.  Then the city of LA seems to also use the name "Los Angeles River Greenway" for the entire river's planned continuous walk/bike routes. My use of "it seems" & "oppose, for now" here stems from current online research results, which lack a sole agency/organization definitively defining/distinguishing them. I may be wrong. — Look2See1 t a l k → 07:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Los Angeles University Cathedral

message: At the moment there are two articles about this building; Texaco Building about the building and Los Angeles University Cathedral about the theater in the building.  Now that Dr. Gene Scott has sold the building to a real estate investment company, I'd suggest it would be appropriate to merge the two articles into one.  I'd also suggest that the primary name for that article should be something like United Artists Theater or (avoiding confusion with the similarly named United Artists Theatre Building in Detroit) United Artists Theater Building (Los Angeles) since (as shown in the coverage of the sale) this is the more commonly used name for both the building and the theater.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Formerly? 

message: If the zoo is rebranding itself to "The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens" (The Web site seems to indicate this, but the entrance sign photo just says "Los Angeles Zoo), the the article name should be changed. If we are not going to change the name, then the intro sentence should be reverted to "Los Angeles Zoo (formally ...)" I have no personal preference as to what the name should be, but it should be reflected in the intro and the infobox properly. If someone does not propose a name change I am going to revert the intro. Don Lammers (talk) 20:10, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Los Angeles Zoo is still the WP:COMMONNAME for the subject and should be used as the article name.  The formal name, which includes "and Botanical Gardens", can be noted in the intro.  I think the last edit should be reverted to reflect this.  72Dino (talk) 20:45, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Michael Rivero

message: *Times-Picayune, Suicide Video Finds Home on Internet:
"In an e-mail interview with the Daily News, the site's author, Michael Rivero, said he "thought long and hard" about including the video.
"In the end, I felt the video, as ugly as it is, provided the clearest example of what should have resulted had Vincent Foster actually died in the manner described in the official report," Rivero said.
*The Denver Post, Militias fearful attacks will speed erosion of rights 
But the rhetoric can still be inflammatory, even  frighteningly paranoid. In a recent Veritas article, writer  Michael Rivero explored how leaders have often exploited tragedy -  even trumped it up - to accomplish political goals. 'Is terrorism  inside the United States really from outside, or is it a  stage-managed production, designed to cause Americans to believe  they have no choice but to surrender the Republic and accept the  totalitarian rule of a new emperor, or a new Fuhrer?' he wrote.
*Newsday, TWA flight 800 10 Years later the legacy; Conspiracy theorists still see it differently
Former Kennedy administration spokesman Pierre Salinger held a press conference in March 1997, declaring that TWA 800 was accidentally taken down by a Navy missile during a secret military exercise off Long Island. Salinger died in October 2004. Michael Rivero, who maintains a 13-year old Web site www.whatreallyhappened.com, has picked up on this theory.

Talk:Los Gatos Creek Trail

message: Due to the Lenihan Dam outlet project, there's a detour in the Los Gatos Trail  Rather than crossing the dam face to connect with Alma Bridge Road, the trail goes up the West side of the spillway, under Alma Bridge and across the inside of the dam (the reservoir level is lowered during the project) to connect with Jones Trail.
Mile Marker Zero is on the part of the trail that crosses the dam face so is inaccessible, but it is visible from Alma Bridge Road.
The comment in the article about the first 0.5 miles being downhill is now inaccurate.  If you start from the "pedestrian detour" sign & entrance from further Southwest on Alma Bridge Road than the normal entrance, there's a short downhill to the inside base of the dam, then a steep climb to the top.--Morganw (talk) 03:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Los Osos, California

message: I've said this before on other talk pages of unincorporated areas, but I disagree with the usage of "census-designated place" as the title or identifier of any settlement, regardless of size or status. No one ever says "I live in the census-designated place" of X. Since under California law there are only incorporated cities and unincorporated areas, the usage of terms like town or village would be inappropriate, so if something is not an incorporated city, we should refer to it as an unincorporated x, where x can be area, community, town, or whatever--we don't need to split hairs over that, as long as the word unincorporated is used. However, I think any use of "census-designated place" is inappropriate unless we're actually talking about Census data. I feel like other editors may be getting too hung-up on the bean-counting technicalities being produced by the US Census Bureau when it comes to placenames (on which, by the way, the Census Bureau is not the authority anyway--that rests with local government, and where that fails, with the United States Board on Geographic Names).
