789:? I saw you made a small edit. It's a big article, with many fine sections. But there's a gap- we have almost nothing about one of the most interesting periods of the area, 1913 - 1941. I know your allegiance is to another community, but we have to "write for the enemy" around here. Of course the article suffers from the difficult position of the primary city within a megalopolis- the question of how much of the history should be regional versus city-specific. While the L.A. city article should be strict, it makes sense for a history article to be more inclusive. Another odd factor in the article are the "special topics". Those are partly my creation, when I moved long stretches of text that didn't fit the chronology into those appendices. They seemed too important to the topic to delete or move to another article, although the arrangement is clumsy. If we can integrate more of it into the chronology that'd make it less separate. Anyway, any help you can contribute would be appreciated. Cheers, - 1516:, another of my original edits. I have never heard of Old Radio.com nor of Benjamin's Mountain. If anyone is plagiarizing, they are. I find my Knowledge articles all over tell-all web sites. And all those photos are from my collection of Altadena photos. I am a recognized Altadena historian, and that road is damned near in my back yard. It's story is somewhat relative to the story of the Mount Lowe Railway, and those accounts on WP are mine. They come from a myriad of historical tales in Altadena, some published, and some lore. I request that the original text be reinstated. Understanding that WP articles become a matter of public domain, I find it small wonder that irrefutable tales like mine might be lifted and copyrighted on another site. Thank you.-- 5982:"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Knowledge. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at 749:

you couldn't check out. California was a kept secret, the "island" that the Spanish more protected than outsourced. I'm sure that eventually the ruling became a little lax and that maybe exceptions were made, but I'm not so sure about the interstate trade connections. I don't think that Wilson and Chapman were trade connections. There was also a realization by the US govt at the time of the revolutions that there were Yankees in California with interests to protect and that was one of the reason for the conflict leading up to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo, the annexation and the pacification. And the Pattons were Episcopalians???

682:

in California were basically prisoners under state house arrest. That meant you were free to travel about, but not leave California. However, you could marry into Spanish families. General Patton, and the Patton family, were Catholics, so thereby hangs the tale. Chapman was taken prisoner from a captured ship near Monterey. He was a tall strapping redheaded Scotsman who generally found favor with the Spanish and with the Indians, like Wilson. He was given walking freedom due to the fact that he was able to organize the Indians in helping with the logging done in that canyon, but I didn't remember the name "Icehouse."

4266:"Berry was a former teacher become journalist who also had a great interest in his brother-in-law's granary. He was also an asthmatic and the midwest weather went hard on him. He contacted Mr. Meyer J. Newmark who had recently purchased Rancho Santa Anita (Arcadia, Ca.) and was able to get pertinent information on the southland. Newmark even stopped by Indianapolis and gave a first-hand account of California to the Elliotts et al. From that meeting the Indianans formed "The California Colony of Indiana." It took little time to fill the limited roll of the organizations membership." 5392: 1463:

completely will result in them being re-added (WP is not a fan-site, but some treat it as such). The whole history/park grows to a resort/90's section needs to be rewritten and sourced. DL *has* had an impact on where amusement parks headed in the 70's (yes, it took that long for the others to catch up). First use of themeing, the level of detail, ride innovations like steel coasters or other shows, park design, etc. All valid items to include in an encyclopedic article.

I guess I could have integrated some of the more verifiable material into the article, but I felt like the sum of my sources all seemed like hearsay. I couldn't actually point to a decent, consistent source, so I didn't add the stuff to the article. I remember reading that nobody has really done a biography of Wilson, so I figured the disparate source materials had not really been organized yet (beyond the Wilson papers collection at the Huntington). 5818: 5869: 5306: 6014: 5723: 5627: 5531: 7041: 6979: 6216: 5136: 4891: 4346: 5381: 21: 4129: 4009: 3842: 1372: 2695: 3690: 3586: 3482: 3378: 3274: 3182: 3082: 2982: 2882: 2782: 2594: 2494: 2318: 2066: 1890: 1716: 5386: 1070:

hung a horn. The instructions said to use the horn to indicate how many guests were arriving, so that their dinner could be prepared. The chapel was a masterful illusion, from the photos I've seen.

pixes. Now, personally, I don't care, but you won't ever satisfy the blimpos with them. I liked the one with the parked Hindy in color, but I'm told it was colorized, and I'm not sure that's true, but it looked real good. Too good for colorizing. Make your appeal to some of the other zeppelin fans, they are the ones who pooh-poohed the colors.--

1025:(which I personally do not care about, but many people seem to), you will need to provide many in-line citations or the nomination of your article will be summarily rejected.

Thank you for your interest in the photo. It was taken below the Woodbury/Arroyo roadway that crosses the dam's spillway.

The map of which you speak is a John Woodbury map, and of course, as you may know, he was one of the principals of the Rubio Land & Water Co. So Rubio water owns the original. Duplications were made back in the 70's when Robert Petersen was writing the "Golden Years" book. So large copies are not

As for the Pattons, while they may have converted to Catholicism much later, they were Episcopalians when they came to California after the Civil War, from Culpeper County, Virginia. George Patton Sr. and George H. Smith (stepfather to George Patton Jr. who married B.D. Wilson's daughter) were close

Spanish and Mexican policies -- like in Texas - were strict in theory but rather lax in practice. Practically speaking, Californians needed the Yankees and their trading connections. I think it a stretch to describe that "gringos" were under a form of "house arrest." There were quite a few here --

700:

From what I understand, the Mexican policies were comparable to previous imperial Spanish policies, which had been so strict as to forbid trade with other countries, and which ran the colony almost as a military outpost. Wasn't the trade that Richard Dana participated in illicit? Anyway, I don't have

Sorry to keep pruning your stuff, but you are putting disproportionately large amounts of details on peripheral matters into these battle articles. If we spend 2-3 paragraphs on the infantry actions, spending equal or greater space to details about Lowe and where his balloons were is not appropriate.

I would assume that the tribe would prefer the name from their native language and that the recognized tribal name "Gabrielino/Tongva" is probably used because they were called "Gabrielino" in treaties or some other earlier form of recongition. Personally "Tongva" seems like a better name to

Please don't take my request as a challenge. When I called your additions "improvements", I meant it.

No, I don't think that any of the "blimpophiles" appreciate the colorized bw's. I made some colorized bws on my website over the Mount Lowe Railway---and they are cheezy. But they helped define some otherwise unidentifiable objects in the picture. There was no real pictoral value to the colorized H

Hi you were saying on the Hindenburg page that the "H on fire picture was pretty cheezy."

I refrain from footnoting references to pages in books I have read, because I don't need the article to sound like I wrote it while I was reading the book. The article on McClellan looked just like that. As the numbers of the refs went down the page, so did the pages referred to in the book the guy

Excellent sourcing here! I have a great book called the History of Los Angeles County (1885) which pretty much related the stories I had told above. There was probably more "house arresting" among the Spanish Californians than the Mexican regime. It was a roach motel policy: you could check in, but

Very good gentlemen, your understanding of these two men is pretty good. It is very plausible that Wilson had to become a Mexican citizen and a Catholic at that time in California history.

Wow, what a collection! Thanks for recording the history of the area, and of its people. I was looking at the "Altadena Panorama", trying to deduce its vantage point. Somewhere along Castle Canyon, or at Inspiration Point? It'd be fun to take a similar picture today. The hills haven't changed much

Yes, I've heard pretty much the same thing. There's an unrelated story that John Robinson tells of a Mr. Chapman who smuggled into L.A. in the olden days. He was thrown into jail because he was a Yankee, and as such could not legally reside there. It turned out that Chapman was a woodsman and the

Also, my understanding of the Don Benito thing was that to become a citizen of Mexico at the time, one had to swear to be a Catholic and take a Spanish first name. When Wilson went to what was then Mexico in the early 1840s and wanted to own land, he became a Mexican citizen and took the name Don
