James T. Butts

[edit]

He seems to have gotten more votes than Daniel K. Tabor, but he is not the mayor until he is sworn in. http://www.jamesbuttsformayor.com/ Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:42, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lawrence Ross

[edit]

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)[reply]

Aha- he was added as Lawrence Ross Jr.. tedder (talk) 01:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hannukah in Inglewood . . .

[edit]

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)[reply]

"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)[reply]

Thanks, friend tedder. Good food for thought. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnic Diversity table

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hillcrest-Saint John

[edit]

If there actually is a Hillcrest-Saint John area, we need a source that says so. Thank you, GeorgeLouis (talk) 14:54, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Freeman

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

New lead

[edit]

This article is lengthy enough so that we can get cracking on a better WP:Lead. Who wants to try? Yes, I am from Inglewood, and I have BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 07:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have been derelict in not trying for a new lead myself, but I will get to it ere long. Thanks for waiting. Meanwhile, I am leaving the hatnote in case somebody else want to give it a go. Yours, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 17:39, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Climate

[edit]

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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather-summary.php3?s=59227&cityname=Inglewood,+California,+United+States+of+America&units=|title=Inglewood, California Köppen Climate Classification (Weatherbase)|website=Weatherbase|accessdate=August 25, 2017}}</ref>

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.

Placing two wikilinks next to each is confusing and unnecessary. It is not obvious to the reader that there are two links. It is best if they have one link to the main topic (the name of the spring) where they can learn about what a spring is if they need further information. It is not helpful to have the link to natural spring on the Inglewood page. 〜 Adflatuss • talk 00:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
