Talk:Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale)

message: I don't know where this would fit in the article, but here goes:
The first of Forest Lawn's reproductions of DAVID was shattered by an earthquake. The replacement was positioned on a layer of Teflon, then a newly invented and promoted substance. The park management opined that in the event of another earthquake the statue would merely slide over the tremors and remain intact. It didn't work.--Saxophobia 23:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: A number of interment locations are also kept from the public eye. Perfect, up to here; I'd liked to have the section ended HERE. But now: The Court of Honor advertises that in some of the crypts beneath it are spots which no amount of money can buy, but individuals may be "voted in" as "Immortals."
Am I the only one to regard the latter phrase as fantasy-fiction-style drawl. Immortals? Ah yes, and if you are one of the "privileged" individuals, you can probably find mages living in these crypts which can still make the earth shake by a spell? Well, then they could as well resurrect the dead again. ;) -andy 92.230.10.22 (talk) 12:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there is a section of floor crypts reserved for -so called- Immortals. Two people interred here are Dr. Eaton (The Founder), and Jan Styka, the artist who painted the large "Crucifixtion" painting (which is the largest Oil-on-canvass painting in the world).

message: Could people please stop adding him until it is clear that he will be buried there? I mean, it is good enough to add him when he is actually there, six feet under.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 19:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I changed 43 uses of the dagger (†) to the abbreviation NP, meaning Non Public, because some of the people so marked were not Christians, and the symbol can be misconstrued as a Christian cross. Sincerely, your friend, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:32, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Somebody called NP "terrible." Not very nice language to use when another editor tries to do something positive. If anybody has a better idea, please use it. And, besides, how do we know these particular graves are Not Public? Is there a Source? I didn't see any. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 01:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Changing the list into columns messes up the formatting and makes it difficult to browse alphabetically. It is also the reason that the images had to be scaled down, which would in turn force readers to click through to the file page to be able to see any kind of detail. A gallery isn't a good solution; the images illustrate specific graves on the list and were placed accordingly. All the other cemetery articles are formatted as single lists for the same reasons. See Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, Hollywood Forever, Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, or any number of others.
A noble effort—I can certainly appreciate the time it took—and I do think the other changes are good. I'm just going to go through and put the list & pics back while leaving all the rest of the recent changes intact. Kafziel Complaint Department: Please take a number 16:58, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not a huge fan of splitting articles and creating content forks, but this article is insanely long. We really should turn the list of notable internees into it's own article/list. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:48, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree and believe there would be no objections, though I am not sure what the title of the article would be. See https://www.verywell.com/inurnment-vs-interment-vs-internment-3972242 . BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:01, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no objection to the split. Perhaps List of notable internments at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale), or List of notable interments at Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and put them all in the one place, separated by cemetery? --Killer Moff (talk) 09:33, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: *Split, per Killer Moff. The article consists of a short article and a long list. It would be simple and sensible to split it into an article and a list. The list is long enough to merit a Glendale-specific list rather than a generic Forest Lawn one.  Scolaire (talk) 18:29, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the lists for each Forest Lawn cemetery should be created only when they are sufficiently long, as this one is. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 00:39, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
