Group of Pictures

I was originally going to say that the pictures should be removed; however, what about using a hidden template to do this:

Pictures

Drum Barracks
Historic Banning Park Home, American Colonial style
Banning Park, Tudor Revival architecture
1200 Banning Blvd, near Banning Residence Museum
Spanish architecture inspired Banning Park home
The Don
Wilmington Municipal Building
Saints Peter and Paul's Catholic Church

I still think that the blvd one should be removed. If there are no objections, I will go ahead and do this. Ryan Vesey (talk) 05:30, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's an interesting idea, but it seems the WP community has adopted a policy against galleries. Have you seen this done elsewhere? GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:26, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and hid them. I couldn't think of a serious reason not to do so, and it makes the page look a lot better. GeorgeLouis (talk) 09:41, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people

Synthetrix has been added to the list of notable people several times. As of right now, his notability is not established as his page was deleted for being non-notable. Does anybody have any information, backed by third-party references, that would establish notability? Ryan Vesey (talk) 21:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can't respond about that particular artist, but I've just marked the entire list as needing sources. I hope this can be done soon, lest some of the articles be deleted. GeorgeLouis (talk) 09:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Wilmington, Los Angeles

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Wilmington, Los Angeles's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "MappingLAHarbor":

From San Pedro, Los Angeles: [1] "Harbor," Mapping L.A., Los Angeles Times
From Los Angeles Harbor Region: [2] "Harbor Region," Mapping L.A., Los Angeles Times

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:43, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
