==Will miss you==
The encyclopedia is much richer for your presence, and is now much poorer for your leaving. Some things are impossible to replace. My condolences to all who loved BeenAroundAWhile, his contributions to societal knowledge were immense. As for his considerable legacy on Wikipedia, at the moment he is the 712th most prolific English language Wikipedian of all time.

Hello. I have come here to apologize for my disruptive and uncivil behavior on the Wikipedia [[WP: Teahouse|Teahouse]] a year ago. I am sorry for any rude things that I said to the Wikipedia community and aboutt falsely accusing them of having an adgenda against hate groups, pseudoscience promoters, and pedophiles. To be clear, I do '''not''' support or advocate these group's ideologies, "especially those of pedophiles who view adult-child sexual relationships as healthy and harmless", on or off Wikipedia. Please forgive me. [[User:Frogger48|Frogger48]] ([[User talk:Frogger48|talk]]) 07:04, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

To the family: I'm sorry for your loss. BeenAroundAWhile was a valued contributor here for many years. He did a lot of maintenance work, as well as improving articles on a wide range of topics (especially topics relevant to the LA area). If you're curious to see a list of some of them, [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/topedits/en.wikipedia.org/BeenAroundAWhile/0 this is a list by number of edits he made to them].<br/>We have a community newspaper, the [[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]], which may want to run an obituary of some sort. If you feel comfortable sharing (and if you think he would've been ok with it), you could share a little more information about him and/or anything he has said about his engagement with Wikipedia. His account has been blocked (a common precautionary measure), so you'll need to create a different account to respond to this (or email me directly and I'll pass the information along to the Signpost writers [ rhododendrites at gmail dot com ]). &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 13:42, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
==Los Angeles (desambiguation)==
Why not in Los Angeles (desambiguation) not should appear that these words are derivative from Spanish words?. this same should apply it in desambiguations [[Bambino]], [[Amour]], [[Je t'aime]], [[Über Alles (disambiguation)]], etc, etc.--[[User:Vvven|Vvven]] ([[User talk:Vvven|talk]]) 19:35, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

== Westwood, Los Angeles ==


I spent some time combing through his contributions to get to know him as a person and editor here and I must say, he has quite an extraordinary story that will continue to be told to generations of new editors and readers of this encyclopedia. If they seek to listen his Song will continue to be heard. It is a part of his family, I am so sorry for your loss, and, in varying ways, a part of each of us impacted by his life, his time, and his energy. It is a great loss, especially for the future, but it is also a celebration for such a beautiful and amazing life lived, experienced, shared, and now carried by each of us, each in our own way. You will be missed but you will continue to be loved and remembered. Thank you for making your impact and leaving your amazing contributions for us to enjoy. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 12:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi! I want to add in a bit about Warner Elementary from:
*I'm sorry I didn't get to know George better. But we did exchange a couple of messages after I, then editor-in-chief of ''[[WP:Post|The Signpost]]'', noticed that he was giving advice to our reporters and editors. It was almost always spot-on. We'll certainly publish an obituary at the end of this month.

BeenAroundAWhile was my uncle and I thought people here might be interested to know that his very last post to Wikipedia was just hours before he was admitted to the hospital with a brain tumor. It seems that he'd found a stray comma in someone else's work and fixed it. Wikipedia was an important part of his life right to the very end! His family is very proud of what he did as part of your community. [[User:Trinsics|Trinsics]] ([[User talk:Trinsics|talk]]) 18:50, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

*My first and only actual (and brief) chat with him was hardly more than one year ago, but his name had been popping up all over the place on my watchlist.

My interactions with BeenAroundAWhile were brief, but memorable. He was kind enough to thank me for a few Los Angeles area-related edits I made. Although we never conversed at length, I enjoyed looking over his edits, and learned much from his straightforward, "stick to the facts" style. Words cannot sufficiently convey my admiration for his work here and I can only regret never having had the pleasure of knowing him better. My sincerest prayers of comfort to him and his family.

:Well, I finally understand the problem upon your explanation. Nevertheless, when one of the salient facts about a neighborhood is its wealth, or lack of wealth — or any other distinguishing characteristic — then that fact ''should'' be mentioned in the lead, and not simply ignored. I invite you to take part in the discussion on the [[Sherman Oaks, California]], talk page, where I point out that this matter has been carefully considered by others (not just me), and the conclusion reached was that if we can find the sources, we can use "affluent" as a descriptor for a neighborhood.

== Spanish articles on senior high schools ==

Hi! I have been writing some Spanish language stubs on LAUSD high schools for the following reasons:
* To expand Spanish-language coverage of the Los Angeles area
* As a courtesy for Spanish-speaking immigrants who have poor English comprehension
* To encourage the children of these immigrants-students at these schools-to become Wikipedians and improve coverage of U.S. articles in both English and Spanish

I am also having articles on other languages made depending upon the community demographics. An Armenian user made an Armenian article on [[Grant High School (Los Angeles)]] and I'm trying to have a Korean editor make that version for [[Los Angeles High School]].

Do you know some Spanish? If so you are welcome to help in this effort :)

== Edit-warring on articles about districts of Los Angeles ==

[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]].

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.{{Break}}Note that in addition to [[Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles]], this edit-warring also extends to [[Encino, Los Angeles]] and [[Toluca Lake, Los Angeles]]. If you are unable to reach agreement with the other editors involved, I suggest that you open a [[WP:RFC]] to find a consensus solution, and that in the meantime you all stop adding and/or reverting contested material.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> --[[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span>HairedGirl]] <small>[[User talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 21:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I put the population into the intro to give an idea of how big it is. It isn't an area with three people, it has over 100,000 which is a BIG area. Unfortunately, it was measured in an odd way (by using the population in the zip code) so had to be stated in a complex manner in order to not be misleading about how it was measured. If you have a better way to word it I'd appreciate it. [[User:RJFJR|RJFJR]] ([[User talk:RJFJR|talk]]) 14:43, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

== RfC on LA Metro ==

Hi there,

Would you be open to creating redirects for people who, for instance, search for Palms station, as per Metro, that is not the official name. It really should be just Palms, for example. [[User:TJH2018|TJH2018]] ([[User talk:TJH2018|talk]]) 01:13, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
:I am not sure how that would work, nor what "It really should be just Palms" means. The objection of most commenting editors is to the syntax of the opening sentence, because, as has been stated, Palms is not a station, but it is a community. I might add that when people who live in Palms want to take a train, they will go to Palms station, and not to Palms, because they are already IN Palms. I hope to hear from you again.

== [[Wilshire Park, Los Angeles|Wiltshire Park redirect]] ==

Hi,
Have had a query raised with me regarding the redirect of this page. Could you provide a bit more explanation of the redirect (no issue if you cant).
Would you have any objections in the removal of the redirect restoring the previous page?
Any advice or just a ''cant remember I've slept since then'' would be appreciated. [[User:Amortias|Amortias]] ([[User talk:Amortias|T]])([[Special:Contributions/Amortias|C]]) 20:30, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
:Hello. This little enclave does not offer any sources to show that it is a true neighborhood of Los Angeles. Quite often homeowners' groups or interested real-estate people will say that any given geographical area is a legitimate neighborhood even when they don't have any [[WP:Reliable sources]] to prove it. I believe this was the case with this article, which you can find [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wilshire_Park,_Los_Angeles&oldid=676455854 here]. If any editor or other [[WP:NPOV|neutral person]] wants to write an article citing such sources, I am sure that it would be cheerfully accepted by the community. Does this help?

== Removal of comment ==

My comment on KoreaTown wikipage was eliminated by you. As for being neutral, I have an unpaid position with the association whose webpage was eliminated and redirected to Koreatown wikipage. This has happened to other neighborhood pages that have been reduced to Koreatown. This is a political issue about ethnic enclaves an identity. I appreciate the policing but registering my complaint about having our wikipage eliminated and redirected does deserve to have it comments protected. Where were you when our wikipage was removed and redirected to Koreatown wikipage?[[User:554938Wilshire|554938Wilshire]] ([[User talk:554938Wilshire|talk]]) 19:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
:Trying to help you out, I did a search in the LAPL files of the Los Angeles Times for "Wilshire Park," but I couldn't find any reference to it as an authentic neighborhood. Do you have other [[WP:Reliable sources]]? If you do, let me know, and I will write up an article about the neighborhood for submission. (It is listed as a Historic Overlay Zone, which is not a neighborhood, but simply a zone within a neighborhood.) Or, you can ask some other uninvolved person to do it.

== Wilshire Park ==

Thank you for the link - I am learning as fast as I can, but I am new at this. Your help is very much appreciated. I will tighten it up as suggested, change the tone, and beef up the references - already working on self-educating so I can do a good job.

I have a question for you, since you are a specialist on the narrower topic of neighborhood pages.

What does it take to be allowed a Wikipedia page as a real "neighborhood"? Hancock Park, Windsor Square, Arlington Heights and even "the Flower District," a market for making profit, are allowed pages. How is WP different? WP is identified by Thomas Brothers Guides, by our Neighborhood Council (Greater Wilshire), by the Office of Historic Resources, and even within the Wikipedia page called "List of Districts and Neighborhoods in Los Angeles." What is the criteria for suppressing a page like the WP page, with Wikipedia's support for the suppressor (until you helped me out)? It seems random and arbitrary - or a convenient excuse for somebody with a political agenda and psychic powers to deduce evil where there is none.

WP is an historic district, and as you know, education is necessary to effectively prevent the loss of historic resources. The WP site had links to City agencies, historic articles, etc. The Wilshire Park Association, the "enclave" refered to so dismissively, is a legitimate 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mandate to educate and teeny-tiny barely-break-even assets - all from the donations of residents. The members are all volunteers and have no profit motive. WP doesn't need or want a presence on Wikipedia for any other reason than to make our historic district function well for the benefit of current and future residents. The removal of this information, which is valuable on many levels, was wrong. How arrogant of the KTown editor to let his imagination see little WP as a threat to the Koreatown fiefdom and cause all this bad feeling and resentment. And it's a shame. It's divisive. And wasteful.

This has also been done to neighborhoods miles away from Koreatown, by the same editor. Clearly, to me, the motivation here is something other than as stated. This is obviously flag planting and suppression. How can Wikipedia, whose mantra is respect, free expression and factual accuracy, allow this and side with this editor, and offer no solution to the conflict except to let it happen? It was necessary to lie about fellow editors and 'gin up non-existent conflicts of interest to do it, but Wikipedia bought it wholesale with no investigation of this editor's history. "Helpful," as one dismissive response said, or not, the term that applies is "bullying."

As I said, I am working on a new page, but I am afraid it will be attacked again. I don't have the time or appetite to play with this game any more. How do I get this to stop, once and for all, considering this is a repeat performance? Does this behavior rise to the level of requiring administrative intervention? Can the editor be banned from interfering further, based on the past and current incidents?

-------
I am glad to help you out, but I think you are misconstruing a few things.

First, I was the editor responsible for merging the article on Wilshire Park, Los Angeles, to [[Koreatown, Los Angeles]]. I did this on 23 December because the former article, which you can read by clicking [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wilshire_Park,_Los_Angeles&oldid=696220942 here], did not have the required [[WP:Reliable sources]] to fill out a complete article in the Wikipedia style.

There were other problems with the old Wilshire Park article, too, all of which were marked at the top of the page; that is,
* This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2013)
* The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (July 2013)
* This article possibly contains original research. (July 2013)
* This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (July 2013)
* This article has an unclear citation style. (August 2009)

Therefore, as is often the case (spelled out [[Wikipedia:Places of local interest|in this essay]]), I redirected the page to [[Koreatown, Los Angeles]], which is a larger neighborhood of which Wilshire Park is a part (according to a very good source, the ''[[Los Angeles Times]].'')

To respond to some of your points:

* ''What does it take to be allowed a Wikipedia page as a real "neighborhood"?'' If a [[WP:Reliable source]] refers to any given district as a "neighborhood," or a "district," then I have been listing them at [[List of districts and neighborhoods of Los Angeles]]. If they have enough information that can be found in [[WP:Reliable source]]s, then somebody might write a separate article about them, or a separate article might already have been written.

* ''WP is identified by Thomas Brothers Guides, by our Neighborhood Council (Greater Wilshire), by the Office of Historic Resources.'' As odd as it may appear, Wikipedia uses for the most part only ''secondary'' sources, not primary. Read all about it at [[Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary and secondary sources]]. This is to assure that ''the subject of the article is indeed [[WP:Notable]]'' (that is, people are taking note of it). This is a stricture that many folks have difficulty in comprehending.

* ''What is the criteria for suppressing a page like the WP page?'' The page is not "suppressed." It is simply redirected to another page where cited information about Wilshire Park can be found. Anybody can add additional information there with, of course, neutral, reliable sources. If there are enough sources (that is, a lot of places where folks are talking about Wilshire Park), then a larger article can be written.

* ''Can the editor be banned from interfering further, based on the past and current incidents?'' Yes, there is a procedure to have any such editor called to account, but it would be better (in my opinion) to concentrate on encyclopedia-article writing.

I hope this helps. Sincerely, [[User:BeenAroundAWhile|BeenAroundAWhile]] ([[User talk:BeenAroundAWhile#top|talk]]) 04:40, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

:Hello, again. It would be better to ask a similar question in the Talk page of that article. Right now I am working on another project. From the editing you have done over there, you seem to want to do the right thing, and I hope you stick around to work on other articles with which you might have an interest, but not a direct connection.

[[User:BeenAroundAWhile|BeenAroundAWhile]] ([[User talk:BeenAroundAWhile#top|talk]]) 02:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

And thank you - you have taught me a lot, and I appreciate your time. I really am trying to wrap my head around this but with only limited results. Writing is not really my long suit, as you can tell, and it was kind of you to suggest that I continue.
My "direct connection" as it is called has been deliberately suppressed in the latest revision, I have added many new sources including from the LA Times, and deleted anything that could reasonably be considered subjective or poorly cited, but it is still being flagged. It is no different in tone, content or citations than pages for analogous named communities like [[Hancock Park]], [[Windsor Square, Los Angeles]], [[Miracle Mile, Los Angeles]] and many others. It feels like being told "Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West." I will, however, do as you suggest and ask this question of all the editors of the article.

== Russia and homophobia ==

Hi, my intention in highlighting that Russian public opinion survey in the [[Pussy Riot]] article was to give a cultural context to their LGBT advocacy. In the West we have undergone a major cultural shift in the past 50 years; LGBT people are generally accepted and most of us have at least got to the point of acknowledging that someone's personal life is their own business. Russia hasn't gone through this cultural shift, so PR's LGBT advocacy is quite shocking to conservative Russians and was probably a factor in the conservative backlash leading to the anti-gay advocacy laws. I think the article is better if some cultural context is given, and the public opinion survey is one way to do this.

== James Greer McDonald ==

Can you explain in more detail your reasoning behind the revert? 'we don't need this level of detail' makes no sense. The birth day of the person is already in the article, so the 'level of detail' is already there, I simply made it more consistent with other biographical articles. For a simple example, look at the [[Deaths in 2016]] list, and you will note that every single article, large and small, consistently does the same thing with birth and death dates. Why on earth would this particular biographical article fall outside of the norm. [[User:Omegastar|Omegastar]] ([[User talk:Omegastar|talk]]) 01:47, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
:Because to my knowledge there is no guideline, or policy, demanding that exact birthdates be placed in the lead of the story. I think you can agree that the main thrust of a lead should be the MAJOR details of a person's life, not the exact date the person was born, which teh reader can find later on. All people are really interested in at first glance is the time period that the subject lived. I am sorry that other articles have the exact birthdates, but I am not watching those. If you can find a policy that REQUIRES the exact birth dates, I would be happy to be notified. Sincerely, [[User:BeenAroundAWhile|BeenAroundAWhile]] ([[User talk:BeenAroundAWhile#top|talk]]) 03:37, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
::Here is the policy: [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biographies#Opening_paragraph]]. Specifically, point 2, "Dates of birth and death, if known". The examples given below all provide the day of the month of the year, with the only exception being lack of knowledge of said day or the month of the year. Since that knowledge is not lacking for the birthdate of James Greer McDonald, it should be included in the lead.

:::That is a guideline, not a policy, and I don't happen to agree with it. Cramming specific birthdates into a lead is simply cramming too much extraneous information into it, and I am sure you can see my point. Still, I appreciate your looking up this guideline. Doesn't change my mind about good composition though. I really can't see the point of taking a perfectly good sentence and adding a few words that destroy its flow. But it is your decision.

== Edits to La Canada Flintridge page ==

Just wanted to further clarify my edits to the La Canada page to avoid any back an forth. Sport Chalet's source page shows it closure, the wording was been adjusted to reflect this as requested on the talk page. [[Delphi Academy of Los Angeles]] is a dead link, I had removed it. Also it seems that La Crescenta-Montrose percentages didn't add up (66+20+20 > 100). I had updated the percentages to reflect the referenced source to match. I would appreciate it if instead of simply reverting edits you check out the talk page or the referenced sources. If any of my edits look unclear, or if I am making any assumptions you think are wrong I would love to hear why you think these edits are incorrect and see if there is a better solution. Thanks!

I got those information from other Wikipedia articles, and the references that I have provided comes from the various online articles published by the various news agencies and some of them are from reputable entertainment magazines.

== References and further reading ==

I just have to speak to you about [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nothing&diff=751647950&oldid=751646647 this edit] which is rather misguided. Further reading is for sources that may be of interest to the reader but have not been used to provide information to construct the article. In this particular article that is obviously not the case because the works listed have all been cited multiple times in inline references. Even when references have not been cited inline, it is possible that they could still be [[WP:general references|general references]]. The distinction between general references and further reading is important. According to [[WP:FURTHER]] general references are subject to the [[WP:external links|external links]] guideline whereas general references are not. This could potentially lead to sources being inappropriately removed for not meeting the [[WP:ELNO]] restrictions.

There is no "normal" style for referencing on Wikipedia, multiple styles are acceptable. See [[WP:CITEVAR]] and [[WP:STYLEVAR]] which proscribe arbitrarily changing acceptable styles. See also [[WP:FNNR]] which explicitly allows various section heading names. The style used in the article in question has certain advantages. Where a references is cited multiple times, but to different pages, the full reference need only be entered once in the bibliography and shortened references with the specific page number can be placed inline. It also has the advantage that the bibliography can be sorted alphabetically by author, especially helpful if the list is very long. There is no doubt that this style is accepted at even the highest level of quality scrutiny on Wikipedia; I have written a number of articles using this style that have become [[WP:FA|Featured Articles]] and appeared on the main page. For instance, see [[Mechanical filter]].

If you have a problem or seek clarification, either fix it yourself or ask on the talk page, don't just mindlessly tag a featured article. Thank you.

:{{ping|Cassianto}} while I agree that Featured Articles should be edited with care, that does not mean they should not be edited at all, or even tagged. In this particular case I think the tag was justified, maybe to the extent that I am considering reinstating it myself. The meaning of the tagged phrase "earned her an extended audience" in the lead isn't clear, it isn't in the body of the article (and is therefore uncited), and the year given (1919) contradicts the year given for perfomance of the song in the body (1918). The editor had raised a valid issue which did not deserve this rather bad-tempered response.

::Have people lost the ability to discuss things anymore? Is that how we communicate now, through tagging? There are [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marie_Lloyd&action=info#mw-pageinfo-watchers 30] people watching the page, some of whom may be qualified to answer such curiosities. I'm confident that this editors question could have been answered more timely if they had've had the common courtesy to start a thread on the talk page rather than tagging questionable text. Again, this is a featured article and deserves a bit more respect. {{u|Spinningspark|You}} and BeenAroundForAWhile might think it's OK to deface an FA with unsightly templates but frankly, I don't.

:::It's perfectly normal to tag problems in articles and you should try not to take it so personally. You do not seem to be disputing that there is a problem, and I take it you are not in a position to fix it (presumably you would have done so already if you could) hence the tag is valid and usefully draws the attention of those that might be able to do something about it. It is not always necessary to open a talk page thread if the isssue is obvious. Certainly for a banner template, or where the issue is complex, the tagger should explain him/herself on the talk page, but this case does not seem to call for it. Thirty watchers is actually a very low number, there are more than that watching my user page, and the number who are actually actively reading recent edits is much lower—in single figures.

::::Do {{u|Spinningspark|you}} think tagging an article is "fixing" the problem, or simply passing it on to someone else? I do not think there is a problem; the text is obvious when it says her audience grew. You say: {{green|"It is not always necessary to open a talk page thread if the isssue is obvious."}} If its that sodding obvious, why can't BeenAroundForAWhile be bold and fix it themselves? I also don't see the similarities between your watchers and ML's watchers? I hate to break it to you, but ML is a featured article about a Victorian stage performer who led a full and prosperous life within the English Music Hall, whereas your page is a user page where you talk about you and only you. Some of the 30 watchers on ML would be people who know about the subject and who have the sources available to fix things, whereas the watchers on your page are formed of people who like participating in forum discussions and small talk. I don't see the parallel.

==Thank you for the endorsement.==

I have worked for months to research the page I created and was very discouraged when someone nominated me to be banned immediately when I haven't even put in the in line article citations yet, and worse yet, by someone who apparently is awarded thoroughly.

I don't think anyone on wikipedia knows as much as I do about the page I wrote, otherwise they would have written the article already. I am certainly open to improving the article and plan to get the citations in line within 24 hours. Everything is cited below, but I haven't been to bed yet tonight (now morning) just to get that far. I hope the mods agree with you, the article is worthwile, and I hope I can learn to write better articles because in that field I am well respected subject matter expert and I think I can contribute a lot and improve a large number of existing articles as well.

I feel like, and maybe I'm wrong, the whole point of wikipedia isn't for one person to get everything perfect immediately, but for the community to work together to act as a system of checks and balances to make the best articles possible.

I see that you have been engaged in a slow edit war at [[West Hills, Los Angeles]] about inserting the word "affluent" in the lede.

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

You are cordially invited to the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/6thWiknic|6th Los Angeles Wiknic]], a part of the nationwide [[WP:Wiknic|Great American Wiknic]].

== Replaceable fair use File:Thomas-D-Shepard-of-Los-Angeles-1962.tiff ==
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Thomas-D-Shepard-of-Los-Angeles-1962.tiff]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:Thomas-D-Shepard-of-Los-Angeles-1962.tiff|the file description page]] and add the text <code><nowiki>{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}</nowiki></code> '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:Thomas-D-Shepard-of-Los-Angeles-1962.tiff|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=BeenAroundAWhile&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:di-replaceable fair use-notice --> -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 11:01, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

== Logo for Trump 2020 campaign ==

Your removal of the image [[:File:TrumpPence20logo.png]] from [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2020]] was for incorrect purposes. While, indeed, it resembles the 2016 campaign logo, it is not the same logo. This is the logo that has been used on the vast majority of the 2020 campaign's materials as so far, thus it is to be considered their current logo until a new one is released.

A dramatic reading? Sounds really original! [[User:BeenAroundAWhile|BeenAroundAWhile]] ([[User talk:BeenAroundAWhile#top|talk]]) 05:09, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

==Pantomime==
Hi. That's a beautiful drawing, but did the article specifically say that the costumes were used in a pantomime? They look more like [[Edwardian musical comedy]] costumes to me. Pantomime costumes are usually way over-the-top. Thanks for any advice. -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 05:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
:It said "pantomime." Obviously not the old kind of mime. Probably just a silent parade of models. [[User:BeenAroundAWhile|BeenAroundAWhile]] ([[User talk:BeenAroundAWhile#top|talk]]) 05:54, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

# remove the text that looks like this: <tt><nowiki>{{proposed deletion/dated...}}</nowiki></tt>

Also, ''be sure to explain why'' you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on [[Talk:Glendy B. Arnold|the article's talk page]]. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on [[User_talk:Onel5969|my talk page]] if you have questions.

Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Los Angeles Daily News logo March 17 1934.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F7|section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

==List of notable people photographed by Takuma Kajiwara==
Hi, just wondering if there is a reason you split this list out of the [[Takuma Kajiwara]] article? That article isn't too long, which would be the normal reason to split. Perhaps there is something about his photogrpahs of these people that makes them more notable than the photographer, hence justfying an article all to themseleves?--[[User:Pontificalibus|<strong style="color:#555555">Pontificalibus</strong>]] 18:00, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

:I don't mind if you combine the two again. You have a good point. I split them because the original gallery was way too long, encompassing as it did every single Kajiwara photo that could be found. That's not the purpose of WP. There is discussion in the Talk page over there. If you want to put a smaller gallery into the main article, limited to Notable people, just mention it on that Talk page so there is a record. Thanks so much!

== Todd Starnes Profile ==

Hi BeenAroundAWhile, thank you for your note!

We reviewed more than once what's currently on Todd's page. We are trying to NOT make any changes in the sections that have been previously added (contributed) by others on this page, despite some editing and factual errors there.

We only added a list of accomplishment with the respective references from reputable sources, linking directly (hyperlink) on their Wikipedia page and sourcing it with the respective LIVE factual pages on internet. Our intention is to contribute and make this page as factual as possible.

I would really appreciate if you could review and reconsider the following additions to this profile, which only aim is to add factual data. Again without detracting any previous inputs/contributions. Note: in each of the sections below, we have all external sources and urls to everything we quote:

'''Lecture circuit'''
Starnes regularly gives speeches at political gatherings, such as the Heritage Foundation, Young America’s Foundation, Reagan Ranch Center, Values Voter Summit and the Faith and Freedom Coalition. He has also spoken at The Billy Graham Library and The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove. Starnes has also delivered speeches at a number of Christian universities and colleges - including Liberty University, California Baptist University, the Master’s College, West Coast Baptist College and North Greenville University. He has delivered commencement addresses at Toccoa Falls College and Truett McConnell University. In 2016 Starnes was selected to deliver the Ray Newman Ethics and Religious Liberty Lecture at Truett McConnell University. In 2018 he was a guest speaker at the Spiritual Leadership Conference in Lancaster, California.
Starnes has also spoken in a number of churches across the nation including the Bayside Church in Sacramento, First Baptist Church in Dallas, Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida, Skyline Church in San Diego, Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California, and First Baptist Church Atlanta.

He has been a regular featured speaker at the annual meeting of the National Religious Broadcasters. In 2017 Starnes conducted an interview with Dr. James Dobson to commemorate his 40 years of broadcast ministry. Starnes has also been a regular speaker at the Watchmen on the Wall Conference in Washington, D.C. In 2016 Starnes was featured as a keynote speaker along with Michelle Malkin and Dinesh D’Souza at the Oregon Liberty Alliance Freedom Rally in Portland.

'''Awards & Honors'''
Starnes is the recipient of an Associated Press Mark Twain Award for Storytelling. He is also the winner of a regional Edward R. Murrow Award by the Radio and Television News Directors Association. The National Religious Broadcasters honored Starnes with its Board of Directors Award. First Liberty Institute’s “Defender of the Faith” award, Vision America’s “National Hero of the Faith” award, Bott Radio Network’s “Watchman on the Wall” award and Pacific Justice Institute’s “Light in Media” award. In 2017 Starnes was inducted into the Roaring Lamb’s Hall of Fame - an honor also bestowed upon Lt. Col. Oliver North, John Wooden, and S. Truett Cathy.

'''Radio Station Events'''
Starnes frequently makes appearance at radio station events around the nation. In 2017 he launched his “Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again” Tour in St. Louis at KFTK. Several hundred listeners attended the book signing. He was also the keynote speaker at a sold-out event at the Uptown Theater in Wichita, Kansas hosted by KNSS Radio and Bott Radio Network. In 2013 Starnes was the guest speaker at KPEL Radio’s “Night of Conversation.” That same year he headlined with Ann Coulter at WOWO’s town hall gathering in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Starnes typically arranges his book tours to include stops in cities where his radio show and commentaries are broadcast. Among the stations he’s visited are KOA in Denver, KFBK in Sacramento, WREC in Memphis, WERC in Birmingham, WOAI in San Antonio, KTRH in Houston and WDUN in Gainesville, Georgia.

'''Fox News & Commentary'''
In 2011 Kevin Magee, the senior Vice President for Fox News Radio, asked Starnes to consider writing and hosting three daily short form features for Fox News Radio. The one-minute commentaries were the brainchild of Hank Weinbloom, Fox News Radio’s managing editor. The idea was to broadcast items of national interest covering news, politics, and entertainment - with a dose of humor and satire. The commentaries were launched on a handful of radio stations on November 11, 2007 and quickly become one of the largest radio commentaries in the nation. Today, more than 520 radio stations broadcast the daily commentaries including WOAI - San Antonio, WREC - Memphis, KUFO - Portland, Oregon, KRMG - Tulsa, Oklahoma, KPRC - Houston, WIBC - Indianapolis, KFTK - St. Louis, KNSS - Wichita and KPEL - Lafayette, Louisiana. American Family Radio and Bott Radio Network also broadcast the daily commentaries. A number of radio broadcasters and listeners have compared Todd’s commentaries and broadcasting style to the late Paul Harvey. Tony Duesing, the program director at KNSS said, “Todd’s commentaries resonate with our radio listeners, what Todd says matters to them. He’s not just reporting on a news story, but going beyond that to pull emotional strings. Very similar to what the late Paul Harvey would do with his listeners.”

==Geographic Location Boxes==
{{moved discussion from|User talk:phatblackmama}}

Hello again. I left a message before about your reverting the geographic boxes that I so meticulously added to Los Angeles neighborhoods, puzzling over Thomas Guides and that big wall map that some newspaper publisher (I forget which) was selling about ten years ago (I paid for it). I never received a reply from you. Now I see that you have moved everything over to a discussion group on another page. It would have been nice had you notified me on my Talk page when this was done. I find it all very upsetting, and at my age I don't need to be upset any more than I have to be. If you "pinged" me, as you stated on the other page, well, I don't know what "ping" means, and I never got any message if that's what pinging implies. Anyway, as I said before, I would just like the geographic boxes to be left where they are because they serve a useful purpose fully in line with the purposes of Wikipedia. I don't keep my eye on your Talk page as much as I should to read any replies, but it would have been very neighborly if you had simply left me a note on my own page about your plans for a round-robin concerning this matter. This is Wiki-courtesy if nothing else, or should I say just "courtesy," as I learned in the second grade in Inglewood City Schools. I am particularly incensed because of all the work I put into not only the L.A. neighborhood articles, developing a very large number of them myself, from scratch, particularly those in the previously uncovered area of South and Central Los Angeles (I started in San Pedro and ended in Sunland-Tujunga), but also the research and writing about Los Angeles City Council members going back to the earliest days as well as the pages on the City Council itself and all the early L.A. elections. You might also consider my article on the Ku Klux Klan in Inglewood, which unveiled an unsavory facet of local history that I had heard about as a youngster but had never been fully explained, but now it is. It is a true slap in the face. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 12:19 am, Yesterday (UTC−8)

:: I moved your novella over to your own page. It is rather disingenuous of you to say - in December - that you were unaware of the topic being moved to “Template talk:Adjacent communities" and yet you added to that discussion at that location back in October.
:: Please keep the discussion centralized at Template talk:Adjacent communities.

:: And don't bring up the Klan again.[[User:Phatblackmama|Phatblackmama]] ([[User talk:Phatblackmama|talk]]) 23:03, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

:::Hi. I am puzzled by what I feel to be a peremptory directive. I am rather proud of all my work, as I am sure all Wikipedians are proud of theirs. (I took the photo of the gravestone, too.) But I will avoid that topic in any further message directed your way, though not necessarily any message sent to others. As for those dates, I accept what you said, so I guess I just forgot about the interchange and I didn't follow it afterward. I apologize for any mistakes I made in my actions or my messages.

I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

==Disambiguation link notification for March 13==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[Los Angeles Examiner]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Platform]] ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Los_Angeles_Examiner check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Los_Angeles_Examiner?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are [[WP:INTDABLINK|usually incorrect]], since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].)</small>

==Re. belated welcome==
Hello BeenAroundAWhile. A belated 'thank you' for the belated welcome to Wikipedia ( and the imaginary plate of biscuits...) : much appreciated. I have had, and am still having, a wonderful time editing Wikipedia. It's nice to receive some positive feedback occasionally. Much as I love Wikipedia, I don't feel I've been given a huge amount of encouragement, given the huge amount of time and trouble that I've expended on editing pages and sometimes creating them from scratch.
I'd be the first to admit to not being great at coding, but I have a huge amount to offer in the way of esoteric information ( thanks to my large, specialist library ) and detailed, self-created photo's ( mainly of plants ) uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I've sometimes got the feeling that certain Wikipedians seem to value the dotting of 'i's and crossing of 't's in terms of coding above actual content. I've also encountered ( rarely, thank heavens...) what seems like outright vandalism, based not on legitimate grounds but mere whim - an editor will delete info on the grounds not that it's unreferenced or badly referenced, but simply that they don't (for whatever reason) LIKE said info.
Sorry to moan a bit, but it helps occasionally to get things off my chest. Editing can be a very solitary pleasure. Re. my poor coding : case in point : this comment is showing up not as a new topic, but as part of the 'Art and Feminism' discussion (which, of course, it isn't). Try as I may, I can't seem to rectify this - sorry !

:"Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information '''about themselves''', especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as the following criteria are met:

:#The material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim.
:#It does not involve claims about third parties (such as people, organizations, or other entities).
:#It does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject.
:#There is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity.
:#The article is not based primarily on such sources.
:These requirements also apply to pages from social networking websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook."

The main reason why I chose to add that particular citation is that one of the others was rather vague regarding the number of USO tours which she had done. Lacking a definitive answer to that question, I added a ref to her verified Facebook page. If you feel that this source fails the criteria above, there is already another citation for that statement which also states that she did 16 tours with the USO, so perhaps that is sufficient.

Will miss you[edit]

The encyclopedia is much richer for your presence, and is now much poorer for your leaving. Some things are impossible to replace. My condolences to all who loved BeenAroundAWhile, his contributions to societal knowledge were immense. As for his considerable legacy on Wikipedia, at the moment he is the 712th most prolific English language Wikipedian of all time. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:04, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

90 years. We will miss you pal, Your memory is permanently recorded here, and we will not forget you. Cheers. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 16:04, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Rest in peace. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 00:38, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I gave him this barnstar almost exactly one year ago and am deeply saddened by his passing. Dronebogus (talk) 21:32, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To the family: I'm sorry for your loss. BeenAroundAWhile was a valued contributor here for many years. He did a lot of maintenance work, as well as improving articles on a wide range of topics (especially topics relevant to the LA area). If you're curious to see a list of some of them, this is a list by number of edits he made to them.
We have a community newspaper, the Signpost, which may want to run an obituary of some sort. If you feel comfortable sharing (and if you think he would've been ok with it), you could share a little more information about him and/or anything he has said about his engagement with Wikipedia. His account has been blocked (a common precautionary measure), so you'll need to create a different account to respond to this (or email me directly and I'll pass the information along to the Signpost writers [ rhododendrites at gmail dot com ]). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:42, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My condolences to the family and friends of this person. Andre🚐 00:13, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He will be missed here and surely so to those in his non-digital life. May his memory be a blessing to all those who knew him. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's always sad when we lose a long-time Wikipedian, especially one who has contributed so much. Condolences to all his family and friends. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RIP, a user with an amazing story. There is an obituary here with details about his upcoming memorial service (which will be held both in-person and virtually). Graham87 17:39, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We have lost an outstanding editor who contributed so much to this encyclopedia. Cullen328 (talk) 17:43, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I spent some time combing through his contributions to get to know him as a person and editor here and I must say, he has quite an extraordinary story that will continue to be told to generations of new editors and readers of this encyclopedia. If they seek to listen his Song will continue to be heard. It is a part of his family, I am so sorry for your loss, and, in varying ways, a part of each of us impacted by his life, his time, and his energy. It is a great loss, especially for the future, but it is also a celebration for such a beautiful and amazing life lived, experienced, shared, and now carried by each of us, each in our own way. You will be missed but you will continue to be loved and remembered. Thank you for making your impact and leaving your amazing contributions for us to enjoy. --ARoseWolf 12:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm sorry I didn't get to know George better. But we did exchange a couple of messages after I, then editor-in-chief of The Signpost, noticed that he was giving advice to our reporters and editors. It was almost always spot-on. We'll certainly publish an obituary at the end of this month. Smallbones(smalltalk) 00:01, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BeenAroundAWhile was my uncle and I thought people here might be interested to know that his very last post to Wikipedia was just hours before he was admitted to the hospital with a brain tumor. It seems that he'd found a stray comma in someone else's work and fixed it. Wikipedia was an important part of his life right to the very end! His family is very proud of what he did as part of your community. Trinsics (talk) 18:50, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I was checking his contribs occasionally and it was when I saw he had not edited since July, I began to fear the worst. And now it's confirmed. Very sad day. I'm not familiar with him on here but obviously he made an impact. My condolences to his family — Python Drink (talk) 23:18, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I wasn't familiar with BeenAroundAWhile but I was familar with his work and we will miss him and all that he contributed to the project. Thank you so much for letting us know. He did a helluva lot of editing here! Liz Read! Talk! 20:02, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • My first and only actual (and brief) chat with him was hardly more than one year ago, but his name had been popping up all over the place on my watchlist. The only reason to ever check his edits (upon seeing them on my watchlist :-) was to perhaps learn something. Peace to his family and friends. He charmed and impressed me, not only with his awe-inspiring age ... he was a wonderful editor, and I miss him. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:29, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My interactions with BeenAroundAWhile were brief, but memorable. He was kind enough to thank me for a few Los Angeles area-related edits I made. Although we never conversed at length, I enjoyed looking over his edits, and learned much from his straightforward, "stick to the facts" style. Words cannot sufficiently convey my admiration for his work here and I can only regret never having had the pleasure of knowing him better. My sincerest prayers of comfort to him and his family. QEPD. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 02:36, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

R.I.P.; You'll be missed, Dude!!
