Talk:List of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments in South Los Angeles

To do list

Is this up for DYK, if so what date? This article created 10/8, so presumably up for DYK on 10/14 or so. Then that is deadline for fixing it up. To do:

• Finish importing any entries from List of RHPs in L.A. into 2nd table. Have imported South Los Angeles and West Adams entries from there, so far.

University Park ones from there are already covered. There remain numerous entries just labelled "Los Angeles" which appear from their addresses to be in the West Adams or other subarea within South Los Angeles. doncram (talk) 23:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC) Seem to be done with that. doncram (talk) 19:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

• Continue checking those imported into 2nd table to merge / eliminate dups already covered, and to otherwise edit. Have processed through McCarty and Rosas entries in table below. Seems that Cbl62 processed through the rest.
• Address a number of parenthetical "Ed. note" items added to some descriptions, noting small data discrepancies
• Check List of California Historical Landmarks for any CHLs in area, add those to 2nd table. I checked the wikipedia list (which is incomplete for Los Angeles County), and then also the state's own list, finding no more. doncram (talk) 17:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
• Visit all the existing LAHCM articles, particularly NRHP ones, add LAHCM info to infoboxes (may require converting from NRHP infobox to local1 infobox, or using NRHP2 infobox, i forget which)

To do list items added 10/8. doncram (talk) 18:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Additional "to do" thoughts for tasks to be done before listing on DYK:

• Prepare at least a stub article and photo for each of the HCMs from 1-100 in South LA;
• Add coordinates for all HCMs and seek to include more precise neighborhood info; and
• Come up with a catchy DYK hook to draw attention to the article. Cbl62 (talk) 21:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
• Check for outliers that really don't belong in South LA. For example, the city list included Carroll Street even though its north of downtown and clearly doesn't belong. It also includes the Gerry Building in the South LA, even though it's in downtown. Once we create a downtown list, Gerry Building should be moved to that list. Also consider whether Paul Williams House and Rocha House more appropriately belong in the Westside list.Cbl62 (talk) 21:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Then I'd support excluding Carroll Street and Gerry Building, upfront, from this article about South Los Angeles. I forget, have we yet started a list of LA HCM info issues, for reporting to the officials? These data issues should be put on a list similar to wp:NRIS info issues. We should just note the errors centrally, not display them prominently in the list-article (at most put in a footnote explaining that the HCM office list erroneously includes those specific sites which are in fact outside the South LA area), and perhaps notify the HCM later. doncram (talk) 23:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I noted about 9 in Arlington Heights, Harvard Heights, or Mid-City, which in my view should be moved out. I moved out Paul Williams House, which is in Mar Vista, yes that should be covered in a Westside list-article (does that exist already? I copied it into the sandbox4 list for now). I find no Rocha house now, perhaps you moved it out already. doncram (talk) 19:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

which ones of these are in South Los Angeles?

The following NRHPs in List of RHPs in L.A. don't have neighborhoods identified. Which are in South L.A.?

• Alvarado Terrace Historic District 17 May 1984 Alvarado Terr., Bonnie Brae and 14th Sts. 34°2′42″N 118°16′50″W / 34.045, -118.28056 (Alvarado Terrace Historic District) Los Angeles Historic district southwest of downtown with well-preserved mansions built 1902-1907 overlooking park Nope, not in South LA

Clark as a tribute to his mother NOT IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES. I think this should be listed at 306 Loma Dr, not S. Loma Drive. It's not clear to me by the wall-map which neighborhood it is in, perhaps it is Pico-Union neighborhood. But it is not South LA. doncram (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2008 (UTC).  ::It seems to be in WESTLAKE. doncram (talk) 23:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I edited its article and List of RHPs in L.A. to state it is in Hollywood area, but by the Los Angeles neighborhoods wall map perhaps it should be in "Greater Mid-Wilshire / Hancock Park" instead. doncram (talk) 21:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

CHISL to add?

La Mesa Battlefield California Historical Landmark (#167), in Vernon, California site of the last engagement of the Mexican-American War in California, fought 9 January 1847. Should this be covered in the 2nd table? Vernon is a separate city i think, but it is within the South Los Angeles area broadly defined. doncram (talk) 20:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

If we start going outside city limits, that opens up another can of worms, i.e., should Beverly Hills or Santa Monica be on the Westside list, should City of San Fernando or Burbank be on San Fernando Valley list, or Monterey Park be on the Eastside list? I think we need to stick to city limits unless it's been declared an HCM by the city. Otherwise, these lists will get out of control. Cbl62 (talk) 04:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay by me. doncram (talk) 19:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
