Talk:Eric Garcetti

Untitled
However, troughout Garcetti's success there has been a continous feud with some of the neighborhood councils that are situated within Garcetti's District 13; none more other than with the Elysian Valley Riverside Neighborhood Council. Continuing debates on Garcetti's lack of involvement with Elysian Valley, one of District 13's has brought upon an increase in mistrust with many of the issues regarding low income families. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.205.105.10 (talk) 00:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

None more so, you say? Like the rest of the city, you've completely forgotten about his cozy relationship with the LAPD during the Rampart Scandal - But you can be forgiven that, because the Wikipedia article (for example) on the Rampart Scandal concentrates entirely on a handful of incidents - Making the extent of The Scandal (hundreds of officers carrying on like gangsters) incomprehensible to anyone trying to understand it today. Blame cannot be said to rest entirely on junior's shoulders - The rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.205.105.11 (talk) 00:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Currently, it says "Garcetti has publicly stated his deeply held belief that water is a living thing, and that the only proper use for it is in dancing fountains, saying, "It's a good entertainment." According to Garcetti, drinking or even bathing in water is an affront to its "spirit," and he has further advocated in favor of having all fountains blessed by priests.[101]" --- I'm pretty sure that this was a joke — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.198.183.26 (talk) 14:21, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Image
Howdy- So I noticed an edit war has started on this page about the image, which may or may not be free. Rather than breakk 3RR (which some editors may have done), I wanted to open a discussion here on what to do with the image. PrairieKid (talk) 15:12, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't even see the previous edit battle before I uploaded and changed the picture on the Garcetti page. I don't see the issue though; the image is part of the Public Domain in the State of California, as I have already put on the licensing section on the picture's page.  What's the issue?

Early life
There are two references to Garcetti's paternal grandfather and his Mexican origins. The first one needs to be removed; there's no reason for such a reference between the mentions of Garcetti's mother and father. I would attempt this, but the footnoting is so complex I'm sure I'd screw it up. Could someone please look at this? Rontrigger (talk) 02:02, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Too much detail?
Do we really need the day-by-day detail of his actions in office, particularly in the Mayor of Los Angeles section)? If so, by the end of his term, the article will likely exceed any reasonable human's attention span, and make it impossible to really learn anything about him. —&#91;  Alan M 1  (talk) &#93;— 02:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Does anyone care, one way or the other? Is this latest bit really something anyone cared about for more than a moment? I'm getting ready to take an axe to a lot of this stuff, per WP:NOTNEWS. Objections? In case it needs to be said, I have no opinion on the subject himself. I don't live in the city of L.A. and don't care about its politics. He doesn't get to have his daily list of accomplishments promoted here, though. —&#91;  Alan M 1  (talk) &#93;— 03:39, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

He seems like a nice a guy, but this article reads like his resume.

In the personal life section, there is an abrupt shift from discussing his religion to a few sentences about his sister, Dana Garcetti-Boldt. The article makes no clear connection to his sister, so the reference seems out of place. If there is some reason for including the reference at all, it should be in a separate paragraph. &mdash;HowardBGolden (talk) 06:28, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

101SlowJam is not a rap song
See title. This is just Eric Garcetti speaking over music. What is this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.209.98.66 (talk) 22:32, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Eric Garcetti
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 Eric Garcetti'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 "MEE_crackdown": From Mohammed bin Salman:  From 2018–2019 Saudi crackdown on feminists:  

Reference named "ThReut_Abdelaziz_Zahrani": From 2018–2019 Saudi crackdown on feminists:  From Mohammed bin Salman:  

Reference named "OHCHR_2018crackdown": From 2018–2019 Saudi crackdown on feminists:  From Mohammed bin Salman: </li> </ul>

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 ⚡ 14:57, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
