Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Faircrest Heights, Los Angeles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crenshaw (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reynier Village, Los Angeles

Do you have any reason to think that this is a real place? It seems that it has a neighborhood association, founded in 2005, which is not recognized by the city, and that it's been mentioned once in the LA times and once in the Jewish Journal of Greater L.A., both right around the time the neighborhood association was founded. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. I'm thinking seriously about sending it to AfD if I'm not missing anything. Thanks.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:31, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Put a WP:Prod on it and see if anybody objects. It's easier. GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:59, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I guess so. I found another marginal source, which is a KCET blog about South Robertson that has a little photo spread on it, but the blog post was funded by the South Robertson Neighborhood Council, so it doesn't really count, but it might be enough to force it to AfD. Anyway, I was just thinking it'd be nicer to see if there's anything I missed before I do one or the other.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 01:20, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated it for deletion. No claim to notability. GeorgeLouis (talk) 02:36, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

July 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Carthay, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Both of the small areas you added went to the same page on Carthay.

Zipmap.net?

Hello. Recently you made a series of changes to some of the Los Angeles neighborhood articles, citing the zipmap.net website. Can you let us know why you think this site is a WP:Reliable source? Thanks. GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:27, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this site shows a boundary map of the Pico-Robertson neighborhood. Just click on a number next to the zipmap.net on any of the articles and it will show you. (talk) 09:44, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The question actually was, to paraphrase, "What makes you think this site is a WP:Reliable source?" Specifically, some of the boundaries seem to be at odds with those plotted by the Los Angeles Times, which is a reliable source. How do you propose to handle the differences? My idea would be to adopt the L.A. Times boundaries, but if you don't want to do that, then to omit the street boundaries altogether and just refer to adjoining neighborhoods in a general way. If we put all the conflicting street boundaries into each neighborhood article, they are going to get rather long and confusing. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:04, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another way is to use a separate paragraph to point out the conflicting boundaries, instead of weaving them into an existing paragraph. What do you think? 12:15, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Random code showing up in your edits

It appears that something in your system is automatically inserting junk code into articles, such as in your edit here. I'm sure you've encountered an edit filter informing you of this. Could you tell me what operating system and browser (along with any browser extensions) you use, so I can help you diagnose the problem? Regards, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:45, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disneyland edits

FYI . . . Disneyland is not in the City or County of Los Angeles. Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 03:34, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Danica McKellar. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 18:11, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Crystal McKellar, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Note, I realize this is before you've had a chance to react to the warning on the edits to Danica McKellar, above, but need to note two distinct problems: both changing info so that it is contrary to factual cited material (D McK); and changing/adding information without any source (both D McK & C McK). TJRC (talk) 18:15, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Looking at the warnings above, both from me and Bahooka, and number of your edits being reverted by other editors for being unsupported and/or erroneous, I am reverting any recent edits you have made that have not included supporting citations. I assume these are good-faith errors, but it appears that you are making these edits without the careful regard for correctness and verifiability that Wikipedia requires. TJRC (talk) 18:21, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Bahooka beat me to most of them. TJRC (talk) 19:49, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Crestview, Los Angeles & La Cienega Heights, Los Angeles

You recently created a page for Crestview, Los Angeles. However, you have provided no citations or references of any kind. I suspect your page will be nominated for deletion unless you add something - anything - that indicates that this neighborhood actually exists outside of your own opinion.

Additionally, you re-created a page for the deleted neighborhood of La Cienega Heights, Los Angeles. But again, you have provided no further citations or references from beyond when this page was last deleted. I personally know that this particular neighborhood has city installed signage, but you have not even documented that much with a photo of the sign. That would be a begining. With no further work on your part, I suspect this page will be deleted again.Phatblackmama (talk) 17:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
