Please do not recreate this article. The term "Central Los Angeles" is not used, outside of the construction "South Central Los Angeles." You may be looking for Downtown Los Angeles or the area code 323. It's an oddity of Los Angeles geography that there is a West L.A., and East L.A., and a South L.A., but no North or Central L.A. jengod 20:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Recent changes adding info under "Geography: The City of Los Angeles"

Hi. I reverted the changes made by User:Precision123. My Edit summaries stated: "This lead is more reflective of the gist of the article" and "The changes made by Precision123 reflect the city as a whole and not just Central L.A. Also he or she did not leave any edit summaries." User:Phatblackmama reverted with a message on one of the changes stating "reformatting to match other LA pages; also formatting in columns." These recent changes seem to be totally unwarranted, and I'd like the preceding two editors to discuss them here (and to justify them) under WP:Bold, revert, discuss. These recent changes don't seem to be consistent with any WP:Guidelines that I'm aware of. Thanks. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 22:26, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss what you think is wrong with these additions. They do not "reflect the city as a whole" as you incorrectly stated -- only the area that the City of Los Angeles Planning Department refers to as the Central Area (which goes from downtown on the east to mid-Wilshire on the west).

I agree with User:Phatblackmama. The previous lede gave too much weight to the L.A. Times definition (it used a number of square miles that only the Times definition uses.) My edit was to make it neutral. The City of Los Angeles has, in fact, a definition for Central Los Angeles (the closest thing to an official defintion), and it is not the same as the Times. My edit made it accurately reflect all the information/sources used in the article, not just one. Thank you. Precision123 (talk) 19:47, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
