"Coat of Arms"?

Do we actually have a source that identifies the familiar Beverly Hills sign as it's official coat of arms? That seems odd. The image is sourced to the BH official website, but I could find nothing indicating it has the status of a coat of arms. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually referred to as a "shield," and I invite you to make the textual change 'cause I don't know how to do it. See https://www.newspapers.com/image/192597188/?terms=Beverly%20Hills%20Shield&match=1. Thanks. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 21:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

{{help}} - Whoever knows how: pls change the caption under what is not a coat of arms to read "Shield".

I thought this would be easy but I am also unable to figure it out. I did rename the file over at Commons, the field it is under in the infobox was already "image_shield" so I'm fairly baffled. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:55, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done I figured it out by looking at the infobox documentation. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:00, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done Got fixed at some point. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 21:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beverly Hills

This entire story is so inaccurate i dont where to start. Beverly hills began when burton green couldnt buy a house in Hancock Park (because he was Jewish). It was called Beverly Hills because his wife’s name was Beverly. Hence, beverly blvd. beverly drive. Burton avenue. There were no race restrictions. Only that each home be 1 acre in size north of wilshire boulevard. The south was reserved for the working class. Their child “dolly green” was an equestrian. Yes. He did build the Beverly Hills hotel. It burned to the ground and was rebuilt. This is why wikipedia doesnt work when it comes to facts. 190.218.230.250 (talk) 21:18, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The content in the History section of this article is reliably sourced, while none of your claims are. General Ization ^Talk 21:25, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, Burton E. Green's wife was named Lillian, not Beverly, and the Beverly Hills Hotel never burned down. General Ization ^Talk 21:27, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Broken article

I do not know what has happened, I didn't cause it but I came across this article and it appears to be broken. I am not a skilled enough editor to attempt to fix it, so perhaps this message can get to someone more qualified to fix it (as said before I did not break it, I found it this way.)
