Third opinion request

Hi Ucla90024!

You listed a request at WP:3O that was malformed. I would like to get the request fixed for you, but there seems to be no talk page where any discussion is actually taking place on the issue. I am going to remove the request for now, but please relist it once you have begun a discussion (preferably at Talk:United States Army) about the issue. Other editors there may help to decide concensus without needing the third opinion. If you need help listing the discussion correctly, feel free to ask. Jim Miller (talk) 01:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks. But the discussion was at his talk page: [[1]]. He just keep saying a picture is bias when other unit pictures are not provided. It's an impossible job to have a picture of all units and every picture is bias in one way. Ucla90024 (talk) 17:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Rick Neuheisel

Thank you very much for your quick attention to my revision (237204266) of this article. I made this edit quite on the spur of the moment. If in my haste I committed a factual, stylistic, or grammatical error here, you need not hesitate to bring it to my attention--if you prefer, by all means point it out on the discussion page of article Rick Neuheisel. I will be glad to revise my work if I am in error. Let me know what I can do to reach an edit satisfactory to both of us. We seem to share a kindred spirit in our support of Bruin football, and I look forward to conversing with you!

Rick Neuheisel

Please look at the edit history of this article and its related "diffs." I had nothing to do with the "goat" nonsense, whatever on earth that is. I did not include it, did not re-insert it, and I can assure you that only by some accident did that line reappear in the article; perhaps I was inadvertently working on the wrong version and saved it. My edits were as follows: I added to the story of the 1984 Rose Bowl by including the date (January 2, which I thought was a significant point because January 1 was a Sunday, which moved the Tournament of Roses to the next day); I also included the fact that the Bruins' victory, an entirely unexpected rout over the "Fighting Illini", made the team worthy of a national ranking. I embellished the summary of this game and Neuheisel's efforts in part because I was there, and I still cherish the memory of that afternoon. A closer look at the history of this article shows that the "goat" foolishness was added by User 24.124.127.57, whoever he is; with additions like this he understandably wishes to be anonymous. I approach the Rick Neuheisel article, and your page, with all good faith, support, and friendship. I have taken the liberty of reinserting my edits to the article. Thank you, Nick.

Just to add--

I would greatly appreciate that; I have long been an admirer of his.

Los Angeles areas

Hmm - I understood that neighborhood councils and community areas are distinct - but I'm trying to figure out which is better to describe the community - Or we could mention both (i.e. XX Neighborhood council and YY community area) WhisperToMe (talk) 04:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

• Communities are the legal names. Additionally, sub-communities are noted in the community plans and signs are put up. For example, you can see "Pico-Union" signs are put up in the Pico-Union area of the Westlake community. There are many sub-communities in a community. Ucla90024 (talk) 04:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
  • So, if Pico-Union is a community within Westlake, we can refer to West Adams High School as being in the Pico-Union area of the Westlake community, correct? WhisperToMe (talk) 05:12, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

• West Adams serves South Central, Wilshire, and Westlake communities. West Adams is located at Washington Blvd and Vermont Ave., southwest on the Pico Union Neighborhood Council map, whereas Pico Union is the brown area in Westlake community on the map., as outlined by the blue dotted lines. I will have to take a look to see what community area signs are put up by the school. No question the Pico-Union signs are not located there. Pico Union signs should be located east of Hoover Ave. Ucla90024 (talk) 05:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

• • This sentence for Los Angeles High School "The attendance boundary consists of a contrasting spectrum of economic diversity ranging from affluent Hancock Park to the low-income, densely populated immigrant community of the Pico-Union District." is totally wrong. Don't know there such thing as "Pico-Union District". See Pico-Union. Ucla90024 (talk) 05:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

• • • Regarding West Adams, its address is indeed 1500 W. Washington Blvd. - The address, though, appears within the brown border in this map: http://cityplanning.lacity.org/complan/cnc/citywd_nc/pdf/picounion_nc.pdf - The school is next to the intersection of South Vermont and West Washington. The map says that the Pico Union Neighborhood Council extends to the Santa Monica Freeway - the brown border exists within the Wilshire, Westlake, AND South Los Angeles community areas. However this also proves that the school is within the South Los Angeles Community area, NOT the Wilshire community area. I corrected that in the article. Now as for LAHS and Pico Union, this is likely no longer true because of the fact that West Adams opened. I think the "Pico-Union District" thing is just casual speech. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

1. The templates give community names, but there is not much else that I see. In other words, does the Los Angeles WikiProject have guidelines on how to determine the correct community? What are the tools that a user can use?

2. Regarding "correct" communities and neighborhoods, this will have to have a reference. The neat thing about community neighborhood or council boundary maps is that they provide a reference for saying "X is in Y community or Z this." As per WP:V things generally need to be referenced, so having these maps really help. Of course address name in the case of the San Fernando Valley help too.

• "Even with these communities, there are number of errors. For example Temple-Beaudry in not located within Pico-Union." - Is Temple-Beaudry where the Belmont Learning Complex is? If so, the map that I used, which was published on the City of Los Angeles website, does not show that particular area as being within Pico Union (I used the map with the brown in it, which doesn't match the map you cited at laalmanac.com). If not, then is there a correct or "correct" map published by a different agency in Los Angeles?

3. I am aware that definitions of actual neighborhoods can vary depending on the source. Sometimes I like to use homeowner's association maps. Other times I go by the address.

So, how can we determine which object is in which neighborhood? Some neighborhoods have homeowner's associations (i.e. Hancock Park), but there are some that do not. How are we to "define" the neighborhood in the cases of the homes that do not have neighborhood associations? In other words, if there is a verifiable source that gives "narrower" boundaries of a particular community, we could use that source instead of a neighborhood council, etc. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC) WhisperToMe (talk) 00:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Alright, this one http://www.crala.net/internet-site/Projects/Pico_Union_1/upload/2008PicoUnion1and2Map.pdf is a good source - I suppose we can use that to define what is in Pico Union and what is near Pico Union. BTW, I was looking for something like this map - A Wikipedia list of neighborhoods couldn't be used to necessarily "cite" anything since Wikipedia cannot use itself as a source; but this Pico Union map here is great. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:29, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

• See also Harvard Heights, Los Angeles, California, which defines the relations to Koreatown, Pico-Union, West Adams, and Arlington Heights. West Adams Prep. High School is located just on the south side of Washington Blvd. of Harvard Heights south boundary and which places it into West Adams. The city planning community map is the official "cite" and LA Almanac maps are not bad, but have errors as pointed out. Ucla90024 (talk) 01:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
• I think it depends on what the kids choose, as Belmont, Contreras, and the Belmont LC all share an attendance zone. There are a bunch of smaller schools that also share Belmont's zone. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
• Then Contreras should be added to your list. Ucla90024 (talk) 01:57, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Westlake

I'm not convinced that Pico-Union is a subdivision of Westlake... the PU neighborhood council map that you link to above seems to put them at the same level, as separate districts, no? I live in Westlake, and never imagined it stretching below Olympic – cacahuate ^talk 02:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

But if you look at the Westlake plan map [2], you see the same area on both maps [3]. And the PU Neighborhood Council Map [4] shows the three communities (blue dotted lines) -- Wilshire, South Los Angeles, and Westlake (Pico-Union district not even mentioned). I was vice-chair of the advisory committee and we went through all that and still has the fancy scroll of Pico-Union Committee on my wall. Ucla90024 (talk) 02:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Well then, I stand corrected. Welcome to my neighborhood – cacahuate ^talk 02:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

• I must say different people use different name for different area of Pico-Union and Westlake. Media have use Pico-Union incorrectly for years, stretching them all over the place when reporting incidents. Like I said, why Temple-Beaudry listed under Pico-Union and Byzantine-Latino Quarter in Echo Park-Westlake on the List of districts and neighborhoods of Los Angeles? I have tried to correct LA Times and others, but reporters said people called themselves Pico-Union. Pico-Union is third worst area in LA, and why would anybody want to be associated with it? The late LA Times columnist Jack Smith (columnist) and another columnist hated it when Westlake park was changed to MacArthur park. They campaigned to have it changed back. BTW there's a movement to bring back Westlake Theater. Ucla90024 (talk) 03:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Oooh, tell me where and when, I'd love to see the theater revived... people can buy their discount socks elsewhere! – cacahuate ^talk 04:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Images

The image guidelines/policies on dead people is that one may use a fair use image of the person as long as there is no free alternative. If you have photographs of the subject, think about if the photographs represent the popular depiction of the subject. If it seems that your photos would portray the subject as he would be known throughout the US, then the guidelines would prefer your photos instead of the FU photos. However I am not the most experienced on photo policies, so please see Wikipedia:Non-free content, Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Policy, and the associated talk pages if you have any further questions. As for --Then you wanted "This section does not cite any references or sources." for list of alumni. That would be hard to do with a long list. I have a list from the LAUSD and have verified with some high schools-- If there's a list from LAUSD then it should be easy to reference most of them - Just repeat the same reference over and over for those that the list covers. See what I did at Lamar High School (Houston) WhisperToMe (talk) 19:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you very much for the photos :) WhisperToMe (talk) 11:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Template:User BRUIN ALUM

On the UCLA talk page you mentioned that you preferred the previous color scheme of this template. I can't say I disagree with you. The graphics standards document offered the official color choices, so I tried them. I'll be curious to see whether there is consensus to observe the standard or revert these colors. Thanks for your input. Newportm (talk) 17:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

You mentioned

True, that's the official university color. The athletic department use their own True Blue color of blue. They have used different shades of blue and called different names. The current color of blue polo shirts by Adidas is best. Ucla90024 (talk) 17:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Newportm"

Overland Avenue School

The school seems to be in the Palms/Century City/West Los Angeles area. I'm not sure what boundaries would put it in exactly what community, but the school seems to be in one of the three communities. I think it is most likely in "West Los Angeles" - I wonder if the LA Times did a report on West LA; if so it could mention what schools that are considered to serve West LA. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Alumni list

The reason why I did blanket removals like that is because of WP:BLP (I know not everyone on the list is alive, but some people are) and WP:V - Our criterion for inclusion is verifiability, not truth - i.e. we have to be able to verify that such is the case. Anyhow, if there is a list of notable LAUSD alumni, please campaign to make it public so we can reference it. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

WP OWN and edit warring

You seem to suffer from WP:OWN on Tournament of Roses Parade. Your edits to the article today have not been productive. If you'd like to take it to the talk page to discuss them, fine. Your two edits here and here show that you are now edit warring by making simple reversions. Let this note serve as you 3RR warning. Newport Backbay (talk) 18:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

UCLA player/coach pictures

Hi, we both seem to cross paths with our interests in LA football and our associated schools. I saw your note that you saw Norm Chow --I assume you're sometimes on the UCLA campus. Have you considered visiting a practice to get key player/coach photos? I've done it once for a USC practice and covered nearly all the key people on the roster --just by politely asking to take their photo (I really only had one shot since I live in MN but was in town that day). Since I know you're into these topics, I thought I'd throw the idea out there. All the best. --Bobak (talk) 14:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Photo uploading

Hi, UCLA! I'll check out the deletion. If pictures are proven to be copyrighted, they can be deleted. But if your picture was not copyrighted and it was made by you it should not have been deleted. I'll check it out :) WhisperToMe (talk) 01:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

• I'll check out the commons to see if he stated why he deleted it... WhisperToMe (talk) 01:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
• The three images that were deleted were listed at commons:User_talk:Ucla90024 - Let's see what the deletion requests say... the pages should explain why the request was made. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:15, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

If you want to, please talk to commons:User_talk:BrokenSphere on the commons: he has a talk page and he can say more. I cannot look at the image as I am not an admin on the commons. However, I understand that if you take a photo of a statue solely showing the statue or a photo of a work of art solely showing the work, you cannot claim public domain if the work of art is copyrighted. However you should be fine uploading school photos. School photos can be claimed as PD. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the Rose Bowl, the photos themselves weren't deleted. This is a Wikipedia:Content dispute over which images to include in a particular article. I would either talk on the other guy's talk page and/or on the talk page and ask why. Anyway, this should not affect uploading of school images. Please upload the school images and put them in their articles. I'll look at the parade article. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
