message: Hello  "Is it me or does the percents exceed 100 Percent? How and why would it exceed 100 percent?")  - The racial makeup of the city was 51.13% Black or African American, 45.04% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race, 17.10% White, 1.14% Asian, 0.69% Native American, 0.36% Pacific Islander, 27.38% from other races, and 4.20% from two or more races.

:Rounding can make it exceed 100% sometimes. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hispanics or Latinos can be white, black or (sometimes) Asian, and often "from two or more races."  If you omit Hispanics/Latinos, the percentages total around 100. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 23:21, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, if you mark multiple races you are counted as each of those (in addition to "two or more races"). --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 16:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Noticed that Inglewood was credited as the birthplace of Paul Pierce, but that is actually false.  Paul was born in Oakland, but moved to Inglewood before high school.  He did attend Inglewood High, but was not born there, nor does he consider himself from Inglewood, rather Oakland.  I know his brother Jay...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.78.171.28 (talk) 20:27, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Please help expand these sections, with proper references. You can use Gladys Waddingham's book (she has much more than what I have added) for the African-American era, and you can use the L.A. Times files for a whole lot, too. Don't just toss in stuff because you "heard it somewhere"; Inglewood is much too good for that. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The "fact" that Inglewood was a disguised location in Grand Theft Auto needs a source other than fan blogs, fan sites and copies of the old Wikipedia article. Is there anybody in a position of authority who has made that statement? If so, use him or her as a source. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 08:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This article needs a map that locates Inglewood within LA area.
As a matter of fact, ALL artilces about cities and towns need associated maps so the reader knows where the place is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.191.244.12 (talk) 12:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. You can get to the map links by clicking on the coordinates in the box to the right, but it would be better to have a direct link, which I will add. I think the reason we don't have maps to go along with the articles is because of copyright problems. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

message: It would be nice for the interested editors to separate the deletion of the supposed copy violations (debatable) from the rest of the cleanup (which might be OK). It seems that a link to a Youtube video is not really a WP:Copyvio. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Move history to its own article?

message: Hi. Just wondering where the list of neighborhoods came from. It should have a source. I question some of them. For example, what is the "Grevillea Park neighborhood"? Does it include the city hall and Inglewood High? Some of the neighborhoods are repeated. Also isn't the Centinela Springs "neighborhood" nothing more than Centinela Park? The Centinela Adobe "neighborhood" is part of Westchester, not part of Inglewood. Could somebody kindly produce a source? We don't want to put anything in here we can't prove some way or another. Sincerely, your friend, GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:01, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Inasmuch as there has been no reply to the above, I am deleting the section because it lacks sources and has some errors as noted above. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Just noticed that city-data.com was cited as a source. This site is reliable for some things, but certainly not for a list of neighborhoods in Inglewood. Just click on http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Centinela-Springs-Inglewood-CA.html or 
http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Centinela-Adobe-Inglewood-CA.html or http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Grevillea-Park-Inglewood-CA.html, and you will see what I mean. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This section does not describe how the city shifted from having no black residents to being a majority black city - it jumps from one to the other. Was the shift gradual? Was it sudden? Were there any causes? --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 17:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good question. I'll do some research in the L.A. Times files and see if I can find a good article to use as a source. GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: African American influence

message: When adding to the "Notable residents" list, let's make sure they are truly notable and that there is a reference, or source, of their notability. If they are already listed in Wikipedia under their own article, then they are by definition notable and don't need any further sourcing. At least that's the way I see it, and I hope you agree with me. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:39, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Lawrence Ross, author, was added to the Notable list, but his article does not give any facts about his living in Inglewood. If you can find a good source, just add him back to the list. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 01:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Not sure how to handle this. The addition was unsourced, but there are some websites that include the words. Does anybody know WP policy on linking to such sites? Isn't there a Wikipedia:Copyright_Problems policy against doing so? In puzzlement, GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "published" doesn't have to mean "published as text easily available on the internet". I'd tend to think WP:PASI applies- in other words, the song cites itself. On the other hand, given that nobody besides Hollywood Undead "published" the song, it isn't terribly notable. Contrast with the Dr. Dre song, which was discussed in other publications aside from the lyrics in the song. So I am saying it shouldn't be included unless it becomes a cultural touchstone. tedder (talk) 20:20, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hannukah in Inglewood . . .  

message: Have been reading the article and one thing confused me. On what basis is the following section of the table of Ethnic diversity based.
"Ethnic diversity	Moderate	Moderate	Moderate	High	High"
:
:Who denotes what is moderate and what is high? For instance, in the first three hoods the white population is negligable at between 2-6 percent. Black at an average of 50 and Latino the same. However, in the last two, where the white percent is much higher, integration is labelled "high". 
Someone please explain the system used for this. Is this section even necessary because the numerical statistics are shown as well right above. Alexandre8 (talk) 23:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I added an explanation from the L.A. Times website. Just eyeballing it, I can see that Westchester, Los Angeles has a lot of whites, but also a fairly large proportion of blacks and Asians, so that might explain the high figure for ethnic diversity. The other districts are "moderate," which is not too bad when you compare them with, say, East Los Angeles. Anybody who hangs in any of the Inglewood-and-surrounding neighborhoods can see that there are all kinds of people there. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:39, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hillcrest-Saint John 

message: Daniel Freeman is credited as the city's founder in both his bio article and the article about Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital, yet that fact gets only a very fleeting aside in this article (in the section on Schools history): "The schoolroom, named Bucephalus Hall, after a horse belonging to town founder Daniel Freeman..." Surely there should be a sentence or two in the history section about his role in the city's founding... Perhaps one of the regular editors could take care of this omission? Regards, Cgingold (talk) 06:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Preferably someone with an Los Angeles Public Library card to access the sources cited in the Daniel Freeman (Los Angeles County) article.—Stepheng3 (talk) 01:58, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have an LAPL library card, but some other editor has gone through all of Wikipedia and changed the LAPL library citations so that they no longer lead directly to the LAPL but they go to Proquest, which is no good for thousands of LAPL card holders. Not much we can to about it now, although I've sent a message to the LAPL to see how we can log in through Proquest, if we can. No response yet. In the meantime, I will look at the page again and see if I can tackle the problem that Cqingold raises. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 17:45, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

message: This is what the article said under "Geography":
===Climate===
According under to the Köppen Climate Classification system (Csb on the coast, Csa on the inland) Inglewood has a Mediterranean climate.
Now the language errors aside, (which I originally just wanted to fix,) the linked page given as a source clearly says: "Bsk", "Tropical and Subtropical Steppe Climate". That's why I moved the section here.
Now I think it would be very interesting if anyone could find out, whether there was an error in one of those two assessments, or if there was a reclassification over the course of the last three years (what with global climate change and all...).
That would be some great information to have in the article.
