Talk:Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

Hotel Roosevelt?
Why is this article called Hotel Roosevelt? The hotel is named Roosevelt hotel, its backwards. I'm aware that the NY Roosevelt hotel uses that direct link but why not use Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel or Roosevelt Hotel (Hollywood)? After all, it is widely known as the famous Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. I've never heard of it being called Hotel Roosevelt. ♣ DeathRattle101 AKA LUX ♣ (verbalize generosity ) 09:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * FYI, the tag you keep putting at the top isn't helpful to others (like me) who would like to help. You'll need to be more specific about what you want cites for (if it's the pop culture section, it should be in the pop culture section; you may want to place tags), what you'd like to see expanded (it's already a decent size - expand tags are for 1 or 2 sentence articles), what needs cleanup (I see no grammar, spelling, or formatting mistakes), etc. Maintenance tags without talk page explanations don't serve much purpose.

 * Fare enough, what I mean by expanding is that theres a lot more info thats out there about the hotel such as the haunting claims, the pool side Tropicana Bar, etcetera. Almost everything lacks sources so I figured that would be self explanatory. ♣ DeathRattle101 AKA LUX ♣ (verbalize generosity ) 09:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * But it doesn't need expansion. You just want expansion. The expand tag is for articles that don't meet the criteria for stubs and are therefore likely to be deleted. This article already has a stub tag, so it shouldn't be marked for expansion.
 * The sources aren't self explanatory because most things don't require an in-line citation. That's why I put the tag on the pop culture section, since that's the only part that seems to be in need of sources. I don't see any dubious claims in the first section that might need a cite at this point. If there's something in particular you doubt, mark it specifically and I'll see what I can do to help.

 * The National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form for the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District lists "Hotel Roosevelt" as a contributing property. Is this enough to mention that the building is also know as Hotel Roosevelt in the text of the article? Gb321 (talk) 19:33, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Coordinate error
The following coordinate fixes are needed for Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Given coordinates seem to lead to somewhere called Winnetka Avenue - not Hollywood Boulevard.

34.06.04.87 - 118.20.30.09 would be right for the Roosevelt as far as I can see.

 * ✅. The title coordinates (in the upper right corner of the page) were correct, but the ones in the infobox weren't. Deor (talk) 12:00, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Alleged Hauntings section
The "alleged hauntings" section seems disproportionately large (not to mention uncited and POV) for this article. I believe it should be trimmed significantly, to just what can be cited. If no one objects, I will undertake this trimming in a week or two. --MelanieN (talk) 17:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Since no one has objected, I trimmed it and added sources. --MelanieN (talk) 15:02, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
