Thank you for pointing out WP:IDHT. This user is ignoring community input across many pages, not just at West Hills, Los Angeles. Just looking back over a few months -- Here are the Los Angeles neighborhoods where he has re-edited the lead section multiple times to insert data from the LA Times Mapping Project regarding income, ethnicity, marriage rates, and/or population density. Each time this information was removed, BeenAroundAwhile re-inserted it, ignoring the obvious objections of other editors, earlier Talk page discussions, and the RFC you referenced.


 * March 5 - re-inserted "high income" into lead section of West Hills, Los Angeles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Hills,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=768870623)


 * February 19 - re-inserted "affluent" into lead section of West Hills, Los Angeles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Hills,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=766259846)


 * February 17 - re-insertied "low income" into lead section of Vermont Square, Los Angeles (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vermont_Square,_Los_Angeles&diff=next&oldid=763265439)


 * February 10 - re-inserted "youthful population" into lead section of West Adams, Los Angeles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Adams,_Los_Angeles&diff=next&oldid=764676358)


 * February 1 - re-inserted "low income into lead section of Vermont Square, Los Angeles (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vermont_Square,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=763265439)


 * January 12 - re-inserted "affluent" into lead section of West Hills, Los Angeles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Hills,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=759599396)


 * January 4 - inserted "low income" into lead section of Hollywood. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hollywood&diff=next&oldid=758206605)


 * December 20 - re-inserted "affluent" into lead section of Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sherman_Oaks,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=755806108)


 * December 2 - re-inserted "affluent" into lead section of Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles after this was thoroughly discussed on the talk page just 11 months earlier. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sherman_Oaks,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=752578486)

On a side note - this user created the LA Times mapping project Wikipedia page, which is his sole point of reference. He has also gotten pushback on re-writing articles based on this data. (see the Harvard Heights, Los Angeles talk page.)

It appears that his goal is to re-write every lead so that they read like the one he wrote for South Park, Los Angeles.


 * South Park is a 1.41-square-mile. low-income neighborhood in South Los Angeles, California. It is notable for its dense concentration of residents, their youthful age range, their high ratio of single parents, their low rate of marriage and their low median household income. South Park is third on the list of Los Angeles city neighborhoods where adults over age 25 failed to finish high school—69.4%. The district has three middle and four elementary schools.

His goal appears to be to re-write the lead section of each Los Angeles neighborhood so that it lists data about income, marriage rates, and education level derived from the LA Times mapping project. Here is an example of how he wrote the lead for Bel Air, Los Angeles.


 * October 26 - inserted "high income" in lead section of Bel Air, Los Angeles, along with data about marriage rates and education level. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bel_Air,_Los_Angeles&diff=next&oldid=746066710)


 * December 9 - deleted all remaining information in lead section of Bel Air, Los Angeles other than data about income, marriage rates, and education level he added in October. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bel_Air,_Los_Angeles&diff=next&oldid=753928490)

March 4 - deleted famous pieces from the Broad Collection because they were not individually cited. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eli_Broad&diff=next&oldid=768597092) The pieces are listed at the Broad website, so citations would have been easy to insert (http://www.thebroad.org/art/kara-walker) (http://www.thebroad.org/art/jean%E2%80%90michel-basquiat/horn-players)

February 15 - deleted the movie Down for Life from the list of movies shot in Watts because the user who added it did not put in a citation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Watts,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=765575484) The movie has its own wikipedia page, and was shot in Watts.

February 13 - deleted Frank Churchill from notable residents in Castaic, California. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Castaic,_California&diff=next&oldid=765221785) A source is available on google books:  (https://books.google.com/books?id=rhWuWtj4_KcC&pg=PA53&lpg=PA53&dq=frank+churchill+castaic&source=bl&ots=jSsb-Sj-GL&sig=-oiGNxthwaydqW8OnWGRuoMbk-0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiXnM6S1tTSAhUHOiYKHXm_DoIQ6AEITDAH#v=onepage&q=frank%20churchill%20castaic&f=false)

February 6 - deleted information regarding Sun Valley, Los Angeles with the explanation "reverted good faith edits". The user Aerogami came back and restored the information a few days later and added the explanation "I forgot to add the link to the source. No need to go around like a boss on wikipedia. Less confrontational techniques make for better teams. All that was needed was to request a ref. Cooperation is key"

February 1 - deleted the entire section titled "NoHo Arts District" from the North Hollywood, Los Angeles page because it hadn't been updated in awhile. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=North_Hollywood,_Los_Angeles&direction=prev&oldid=763141306). Considering it linked to a main article about the NoHo Arts District, Los Angeles, it wouldn't have been hard to edit it down and/or update it.

January 26 - deleted "notable landmarks" and the First African Methodist Episcopal Church from Jefferson Park, Los Angeles. The church has it's own wikipedia page, it is in Jefferson Park, and it's address is easy to confirm (http://www.famechurch.org/contact.html). Also deleted the "Television" section instead of asking for a citation.

December 9 - deleted Magic Mountain amusement park from the lead of Valencia, Santa Clarita, California.
