message: In the later half of the 20th Century has there been any violence in the L.A Chinatown that would be an equivalent if not smaller version of the Chinese Revolution back in the 30s? -Teofil Bartlomiej 21:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "Chinatown Los Angeles California, Restaurants in Chinatown, Pictures of Chinatown" is not all that reliable reference. For example, "Hop Louie has been around since 1941" is not true. Ucla90024 (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Would someone please explain to me the space devoted to the movie " Rush Hour"? It seems like a lot of [undue weight] and even more mystifying to me is, if you are going to feature a move, why the heck isn't it the classic "Chinatown"? It features Jack Nicolson, at his finest , before he started taking roles where he only plays " Jack Nicolason. Been wondering about this for awhile now, esp, since the movie has many great scenes of Chinatown before the many renovations. TY. Namaste...DocOfSoc (talk) 14:13, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The material is essentially unsourced anyway, and appears to be original research. I don't remember how Chinatown looked in Chinatown (film). In any case, it certainly deserves a mention if we can find a source. This one isn't much help. " [The film's title, according to Towne, referred to a 'state of mind' rather than an actual geographic place.] [..] In the startling and despairing ending scene, the only scene in the film that actually takes place in Chinatown... The sequence opens in the circumscribed area beyond true police and governmental control with passing views of neon-lighted Chinese restaurants and colorful lanterns...    Will Beback  talk   20:03, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I believe that there should be a balance of pictures that is pleasing to eye and appropriately placed in article.  Galleries are relatively bottom heavy and do not add to  associative material in many articles. I give up the duck! I still think the historically prominent Felipe's should have an image but am not going there ATM.  I believe there is a good balance now. Namaste...DocOfSoc (talk) 01:29, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why ethnoburb is used in the lead paragraph.  From the wiki article "ethnoburb": "An ethnoburb is a suburban residential and business area in North America with a notable cluster of a particular ethnic minority population."  
Chinatown is not suburban and so is not an ethnoburb.  The coiner of the term ethnoburb used it specifically to contrast Chinatown with L.A.'s suburban Asian population centers.

message: I find it a bit disconcerting to see the display of climate data at , added in edit of 09:22, 23 March 2021.  I'm sure that inclusion of climate data has been discussed numerous times before, one instance is this discussion at Project Cities Archive from 2014.
I am not looking to see an "improved presentation" (well, aside from replacing this with an obscure link in the page footer, linked to something completely off-page).  I don't think this belongs. Removing it would be an improvement.  Please express your opinion. Fabrickator (talk) 04:23, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
