Is the big long Spanish name still in force? I thought that most of it had just been dropped. -Smack 23:03 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Searching the official city web site for the Spanish name gives only a few historical hits, and the current city charter and the city seal use "The City of Los Angeles", so I moved the Spanish name to the history section. 130.188.8.9 07:50, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)
To alleviate size stress on this page, I moved the history to a separate page. 209.245.203.129 01:15, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I'm having a bit of a problem with the "religion" section. The assertion that "no religion was founded there" is troublesome, and the rest of the section is amazingly non-informative. I actually know less about the major religious factions in Los Angeles after reading this. I will research and augment. - Feedle 16:46, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I dunno how Koyannis' picture got taken off the article, but I put it back on. WhisperToMe 00:21, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)
oil
I believe that I have read that California lead the nation (and was a significant portion of world output) in oil output, in one year in the early 20th century -- perhaps 1923 ? I think this was driven by huge finds near and in Los Angeles. This article only alludes to oil discoveries in the late nineteenth century.
Vasquez rocks
Is the Tiburcio Vasquez in the article the one whom the Vasquez rocks are named for? They sit on the north side of Freeway 14 (Antelope Valley freeway) near Pearblossom. All I know is that bandits used to hide in Vasquez rocks 207.69.139.9 08:36, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Yep, vasquez >> vasquez rocks
History Moving?
I think we should move the history section to its own page--it really is quite big. jengod 23:30, Feb 8, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, move to its own page, but leave a one paragraph summary on this one and head it as:
==History==
''Main article: ]''
