Good job with that portal! I happened to come across the SF portal, and I wanted to see if Los Angeles had one. Little did I know that you just created it this week. Nice work. Killiondude (talk) 02:07, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I noticed there was one for every other major city so i decided to create on for the best one! SoCal L.A. (talk) 02:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. House1090 (talk) 04:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Could you specify where they're in an edit war? It would probably help others like me. :-) I don't see anything from their contributions (at first glance). Killiondude (talk) 04:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I think it means how he keeps rearranging the information and deleting some of it.SoCal L.A. (talk) 04:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes I am rearranging it from largest to smallest (what may be popular to you may not be to me), you may add your infor again. SoCalL.A. You have no sources or references stating OC is a metro, which its not. This user is assuming Ownership because he created it. House1090 (talk) 04:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
If you noticed i changed it to regions so it is correct. SoCal L.A. (talk) 05:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
the title of the module on the portal is changed. not the page name for editing. I had it smallest to largest but since that is the most logical and chronological order.SoCal L.A. (talk) 15:04, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. There is a setting under your Special:Preferences (under the editing tab) to prompt you if leave a blank edit summary. -Optigan13 (talk) 07:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you've been working on Portal:Los Angeles and thought you might be interested in joining WikiProject California.
If you are interested in California-related themes, you may want to check out the California Portal.
If you are interested in contributing more to California related articles you may want to join WikiProject California (signup here). Optigan13 (talk) 07:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the invite. I joined and i also joined the Los Angeles task force.
SoCal L.A. (talk) 00:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- On a related note, take a look at Help:Link and Wikipedia:Transclusion. When you added your name to the list, the {{WP:WLA}} caused the LA task force page to show up. I fixed it now, and it's no big deal, but if you see that happen another time, that's what's going on. -Optigan13 (talk) 23:00, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Sure I would like to help, let me know what you need or when to get it started. House1090 (talk) 01:08, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okay but I wont have much time today, but dont worry I will add a lot of info. House1090 (talk) 01:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:13, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for creating the LA and Inland Empire portals! I am spreading them around articles related to both subjects! It would be really helpful to have all LA-related articles have a link to the LA portal and all IE related articles have a link to the IE portal. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
For placing articles in Category:Cities in Southern California. It's better to add the related county categories of Category:Cities in California by county as subcategories of that one, instead of individual cities. I just did it for San Diego County, diff, but I'll leave the rest to you. I'll try to go through and check out Portal:San Diego in a bit. Thanks -Optigan13 (talk) 04:22, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry but i don't quite understand what you're saying. Could you possibly rephrase it differently? — Preceding text originally posted on User talk:Optigan13 (diff) by SoCal L.A. (talk⋅contribs) 21:29, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Nevermind i understand now. But i thought i had that covered by adding the templates. Yes, no? — Preceding text originally posted on User talk:Optigan13 (diff) by SoCal L.A. (talk⋅contribs) 21:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- I was looking at this edit you made to San Diego. The templates will show what counties are in, but not actually do any subcategorization of them. It's easier for these regional categories like So Cal, SFBA, to think of them in terms of what counties are included. Does that make any more sense? -Optigan13 (talk) 04:41, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah i get it now. Thanks. Okay so just add the counties to the category then. — Preceding text originally posted on User talk:Optigan13 (diff) by SoCal L.A. (talk⋅contribs) 04:49, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- I noticed all the cities were removed and the counties replaced them. I think it would be beneficial to have both counties and cities on that page since some southern california cities are in counties not part of SoCal i.e. Santa Barbara. So if you don't mind i am going to add some cities to the list. SoCal L.A. (talk) 23:07, 25 December 2009 (UTC)— Preceding text originally posted on User talk:Optigan13 (diff) by SoCal L.A. (talk⋅contribs) 23:07, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Oh and i also noticed that some county categories were empty so that doesn't help either. It really can't do any harm having the cities pages in the category either. The SFBA and IE categories display them like that so i don't think it matters. If anything it helps. I think thats all. Thanks for your help btw. SoCal L.A. (talk) 23:18, 25 December 2009 (UTC)— Preceding text originally posted on User talk:Optigan13 (diff) by SoCal L.A. (talk⋅contribs) 23:18, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Like they said below it's best to not add redundant sub-categories. If there are missing county categories, it's better to create the county categories that are missing. Category:Cities in California is also a mess, it should probably only contain the cities in CA by county, with the relevant sub-cats such as history of cities of California, etc. -Optigan13 (talk) 02:13, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- I understand that now. Thanks. SoCal L.A. (talk) 06:01, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, could you please read WP:SUBCAT? If I read it correctly, it means that articles in e.g. Category:Cities in Los Angeles County, California shouldn't be placed in Category:Cities in Southern California too. So, please, don't add articles to this category when they already are in one of its subcategories. Especially when somebody recently undid such addition of yours as on Burbank, California. Thanks.

Hi, SoCal! You have been very busy creating portals - thanks for doing all that! I have a question about some cities in San DIego County, that have been tagged with the "San DIego Portal". Someone objected to El Cajon being linked to that portal, and they removed it on the grounds that they are not the city of San DIego, and I think they are right. So I was looking for the appropriate portal to use for cities in San Diego County - something other than the San Diego portal. I was thinking to use either the Southern California portal or the Southern California Cities portal, but I see that Southern California Cities has not been put on any city pages. Did you have something else in mind for it, or is that the portal I should link to, for cities in San Diego County other than San Diego? I didn't want to start putting it on pages like Fallbrook and Escondido if that wasn't what you intended. --MelanieN (talk) 16:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)MelanieN
- Hello Melanie. Do you mean there was a link to the SD portal in the see also section of El Cajon? If so that wasn't my work at least i have no memory of doing so. Earlier someone suggested that the portals be linked to "related" pages. While that person has been doing that with the LA, SD, and IE portals i have not. I think that a link to the SoCal cities page isn't neccesary however it wouldn't hurt. SoCal L.A. (talk) 01:41, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I will revert you and this is why
- You dont own wikipedia, any one can contribute w/o your permission
- You could not even read the things you had w/ your poor pictures, they blocked the words!
- The metro summarize's the regions where the cities are, so why cant we have that?
- Why do you have three cities w/a lot of information and the rest with none.
- I will make the pictures bigger for you and every one else.
- You shoud of started the disscusion as you reverted me, just because you felt like it.
Have a nice day and see you in the talk page! House1090 (talk) 02:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- You don't either. Start a converstion topic in the talk page so others can voice there opinions.SoCal L.A. (talk) 02:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
The article El Centro Metropolitan Area has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
You forgot to add a copyright tag to File:Cimmarons.jpg that you uploaded recently. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 06:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
If you would like I can ask for a third opinion to see what others think? I can put it in Wiki's 3Opinion. House1090 (talk) 06:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Thanks for your opinion on the Tenn Rep article. You are from So Cal L.A.? We live in Santa Monica.Malke2010 23:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Your welcome! Just doing my job. Yes, in fact i am. I have moved around San Diego for a long time, was born there actually, and lived in Orange County for a while. It's one of my favorite places in the world. SoCal L.A. (talk) 00:04, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for the imformation! I had looked through those sites especially the ones about the new San Bernardino Urban core, but I did miss some information that you pointed out. Again thanks! House1090 (talk) 05:19, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Why have you been removing stuff from the El Centro Metro article? I reverted you as you have no edit summary nor excuse. House1090 (talk) 00:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- I actually do have an excuse. The density was for Imperial County, i need to find the stats. for the area itself. I reverted until i can add the correct information, which it was not. SoCal L.A. (talk) 00:41, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- I believe wikipedia works by providing correct information, not incorrect or unreferences material, with which i was removing. This has nothing to do with deletion but everything to do with making it correct. As for giving me time, you cannot revert my edits as that would be adding incorrect information. SoCal L.A. (talk) 00:48, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated El Centro metropolitan area, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/El Centro metropolitan area. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. House1090 (talk) 04:46, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- I wi
Pretty disappointed you didn't bothrt doing much checking. The article was being reverted by one editor without wp:consensus but claiming there was consensus. Consensus on wikipedia is a policy. I hope you recheck your decision. Also the template has by consensus as they are notable other links to items not released. SunCreator (talk) 07:38, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- I will check it again. Like i said i didn't understand the conflict very well. SoCal L.A. (talk) 07:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for the update. It restored my faith in the 3O process a little. SunCreator (talk) 01:43, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
If the El Centro Metro article does get deleted. I saved all the information to make a merge possible so let me know if your interested or if you have the info saved your self. Salcan (talk) 08:10, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- When you merge content on Wikipedia, the source article is rarely actually deleted, due to licensing procedures. It is more likely that the history will be left intact and that it will be redirected to the county article and the content will be merged in there. Killiondude (talk) 08:14, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
I don't think that category belongs on a city article. If hose places don't have wikipedia articles, they are not sourced. You should see what others think on the talk page. House1090 (talk) 23:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- Are you implying the don't exist? They don't have articles because someone hasn't taken the time to create them. Though i understand your POV. On another note, please refrain from keeping future arguments off my talk page as i presume you will start one on this. Instead use the talk page of Palm Springs. Thanks in advance. SoCal L.A. (talk) 23:54, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Template:Inland Empire, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You cant just move pages because you feel like it without other users opinions. House1090 (talk) 05:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I notice that Portal:Atlanta and Portal:Miami do not exist.
Would you be willing to make portals for those cities? Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 16:38, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
- Of course. I would be delighted to. Miami will be first on my list, then i will make one for Atlanta. I am very busy (with having a life :) ), but i will get to work on them ASAP. SoCal L.A. (talk) 06:39, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

SoCal: I appreciate your working out with me to improve the introduction, but please do NOT revert my change to the demographics section again. That section CLEARLY STATES that the METROPOLITAN area of Miami is the fourth largest and has a broken link. That is just wrong, there is no place for discussion. Please let me make that correction without going through so much trouble.--AndresTM (talk) 04:43, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Southern Border, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit.

I agree with you and your revert, I have the page on my watchlist but if I miss something let me know. User:Polaron might revert you as I have tried to have the version you have now.

This list is not an MSA list. The note includes a portion of the MSA and a portion of the Riverside area as well. Linking to the MSA alone is misleading. Because the Forstall and MSA definitions do not match, a wider containing region (which is the five county region) is more appropriate as the list is currently defined. --Polaron | Talk 05:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry SoCal but I dont know where else to respond, Greater LA is not a metropolitan area it is a region of different metropolitan areas combined. Again, Sorry SoCal. House1090 (talk) 05:36, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- It's okay, however we might consider moving this talk to the talk page. Polaron, by keeping it just Los Angeles it is congruent with New York and the other cities on that list. After all most of those should just be Greater "City Name", but they use the largest or most important city to represent the area. hopefully that makes sense. SoCal L.A. (talk) 23:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- As does the footnote i gave. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA covers Los Angeles and Orange counties. Oxnard-Ventura-Thousand Oaks MSA covers Ventura county and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario MSA covers Riverside and San Bernardino counties. All five counties if i'm correct. SoCal L.A. (talk) 04:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
- Just for the sake of process can we pick this up at Talk:List of metropolitan areas by population#Los Angeles definition and footnote. -Optigan13 (talk) 07:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
- The Forstall definition doesn't cover the entirety of the five counties. It only covers portions of all five. Using MSAs is misleading. --Polaron | Talk 15:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I did a new section for the IE as its used to divide Inland SoCal w/Coastal SoCal. I hope its okay with you. Best Regards, House1090 (talk) 23:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well i made it so that it only had the largest. I didn't bother having any smaller divisions since the list would be huge. SoCal L.A. (talk) 23:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Never mind i see what you did. Great idea :). SoCal L.A. (talk) 23:58, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I hope there was no offense taken to my declining to file the move request for San Diego-Tijuana. The discussion surrounding El Paso-Juarez became really nasty with one admin even threatening to block me. Essentially two of the admins felt that, regardless of whether what the other editor had previously done was ethical or not, they did not want to do anything about it unless there was consensus among a lot of editors. I objected to the attitude and it turned into a thing. Thankfully Doncram was willing to mediate a little and the situation was put back on a constructive path.
Anyway, do what you feel is best about San Diego-Tijuana. I just don't want to burn bridges any further at this point.

All i know is that Wikipedia shouldn't be taken so seriously it affects your life, your real one ;). But back on the subject, i have already voiced my opinions so all i, and we can do, is sit and wait. Oh and no bridges burnt ;). SoCal L.A. (talk) 00:41, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey, do you think SLO county is in southern California? The SoCal article does not count SLO as in SoCal in some parts of the article, yet it does on other sections. I think it is, since Santa Barbara is usually included in SoCal. House1090 (talk) 01:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Not really, i mean it is more culturally part of the Central Coast, as is most of Santa Barbara County. Also as far as stereotypical SoCal goes it's definitely not. The only part of Santa Barbara County that is considered part of SoCal is the city of Santa Barbara. However i consider them parts of the Central Coast. I'll will fix the article so that it is consistent though. Thanks for letting me know :). SoCal L.A. (talk) 01:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I decided against it as soon as it came out of my head actually. Since it's such a controversial topic it might take weeks to reach consensus. It also doesn't seem that big of a problem at the moment. As far as i can tell even the State has trouble defining the region. SoCal L.A. (talk) 01:24, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi again! Besides Miami and Atlanta, I noticed that Portal:Sydney is merely a redirect to Portal:Australia - I think Sydney needs its own portal. Why not try to build the Sydney one too? WhisperToMe (talk) 08:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for making the Miami Portal! Now I am adding it to articles across the Miami area! WhisperToMe (talk) 00:42, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- You're welcome, i'm working on Atlanta right now. As soon as I finish Portal:Atlanta I will work on those Australian portals. I have yet to finish Portal:Brisbane. SoCal L.A. (talk) 02:26, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I've tagged Imperial Valley task force and the left panel for deletion as housekeeping requests, because at this time there's no consensus for creation of the task force, and I don't want to leave those hanging around and forgotten once that discussion gets archived. -Optigan13 (talk) 09:29, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
FYI: I created Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Conurbation guidelines. It is currently simply an essay though hopefully with some revision and discussion it will become a guideline.
Hi! A user here User_talk:Jojhutton#Carlsbad believed that the San Diego portal was only meant for the City of San Diego and not the rest of San Diego County (Encinitas, etc) - even after I showed him that other parts of SD County are discussed in the portal, he is still insisting on excluding portions of SD County and removing portal links from articles in other parts of SD County. Would you mind helping me get the point to him? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 09:43, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

On Saturday January 15, 2011, Wikipedia will turn 10 years and people all over the globe will be celebrating Wikipedia on that day. No event is currently planned for Orange County Wikipedians, so I am leaving a message with some of the currently involved editors listed in "Wikipedians in Orange County, California" to see if we might want to meet on that day, lunch, dinner, group photo or other ideas welcomed? I will start a "Turning Ten" discussion thread on my Talk page to see if any interest can be planned for and determined. I am located in Old Towne Orange off the circle.Tinkermen (talk) 19:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

The article Southern Border has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This disambiguation page has been around for two years, yet no main-space article links to it, still? I think we may be "disambiguating" something that was never ambiguous. No obvious reason why these two specific southern borders should be disambiguated; what about Sudan? Former Yugoslavia? Russia-Georgia? Surely all of these are just as notable. If this disambiguation page had any real purpose to serve, it would be serving it by now.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I am WP:boldly culling the membership list of the Los Angeles Area Task Force. Some people don’t participate any more. Because you joined more than ten years ago, I am asking if you still want to be listed as a participant. I’ll be deleting those who say no or don’t answer, and then we can move merrily forward.

 Dear SoCal L.A., You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list. | |
