WikiProject Southern California
Welcome to WikiProject Southern California.

Since you are in West Hollywood, California, I'll warn you that many of the Wikipedia articles for that area (e.g. Sunset Strip), seem to be hit quite a bit with anonymous IP edits, probably from real estate management companies, that try to promote various residential buildings, as well as the addition of E!-type gossip. I don't know the area well enough to know if any of the buildings are important, but if they are names that I don't recognize, or barely recognize, while living only half-way across the LA Basin, then they are probably not important to an encyclopedia article. If you know of any building that are truly of historic or architectural importance, feel free to add them to articles (with references added so everyone will recognize that they really do have significance).

 * I added some photos on a bike ride this morning. I also have a good pic of Sunset Gower Studios also, but i guess i need to write an article first. Minnaert 21:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Hanna-Barbera Building
This is no longer high priority as April 12 has passed, so don't feel pressed. Still looks like an interesting building, though. Thanks.--Pharos 21:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much. That's quite an interesting "futuristic" sixties building, isn't it? I guess it would be classified as Googie architecture. Oh, and if you have any photo request in the NYC area, I'd be glad to return the favor.--Pharos 07:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Photos
Wow! Those are great pictures. Thanks for uploading them. Cheers, -Will Beback · † · 08:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Wattles Mansion
Thanks for adding that photo - that really caps off the work I did on the article. If only I could get someone in Omaha to follow up on that end of Wattles' legacy... Thanks again! • Freechild   'sup?   05:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

merger of LA County RHP material
I see you completed the merger, mainly a move of table, from List of RHPs in LA to List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles County, California. I didn't know about that way to leave a redirect with an indication that edit history is preserved, nice job and thank you for letting me learn that. And by this diff i see you made a bunch of edits to the table before merging. Thank you for your attention to detail in this! doncram (talk) 18:17, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Invite
Hi, and welcome to the Mariners WikiProject! We are a group of (mainly) Mariner fans who help to improve coverage related to the Seattle Mariners on Wikipedia.

Looking for somewhere to start? Here are a few suggestions.
 * You can check out topics on the main page.
 * You can add WikiProject Seattle Mariners to talk pages of Seattle Mariners-related articles, and assess them as well, which is greatly needed right now.
 * Check out the to do list for the WikiProject, and opt to try and complete some of those tasks.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page.

LACMA
Hi Minna, the version with all of your work, I believe is here. I think between the two of us we can clean it up a bit. I think it's the same kind of work I was talking about re: the ELs, that I didn't have time to get back to of late. I think we can get it spiffed up in the sandbox, move it back with the full history and then go for GA. TravellingCari  22:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)



Wikipedia Loves Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
This event is scheduled for February, but preparations should start sooner. I suggest if you want to participate you folks form an ad-hoc committee and get in touch with the museum people. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 01:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 00:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Christina Aguilera
Hi. Please, i need a good job from you. Do you live near at Walk of Fame in HOllyowod?. I need a picture from Christina Aguilera's star for the article. Obviously in free license. Thanks a lot!. --201.230.104.191 (talk) 18:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I live near hollywood, and would be glad to take a photo, but Christina Aquilera does not have a star on the walk of fame. Minnaert (talk) 16:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Again me. Really Xtina don't have?. The star is new. Was give on 2008. Look the new: . In the other hand, could you contact me on this discussion?: . Thanks a lot!. --190.222.80.166 (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell, it was announced that Xtina would get a star in 2008, but the ceremony never occurred. The recent ceremonies are listed on the hollywood chamber of commerce website (they administer the walk of fame) . I would think that there was probably a scheduling problem and that she is going to get her star in 2009. When she does, I would be more than happy to get a photo.

I don't speak or read spanish, so i have trouble reading your user page, but i wil post this there also. Minnaert (talk) 18:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok. No problem. When Xtina's ceremony, please go there and take a lot of picture to upload to Wikipedia. Thanks a lot again. --190.222.80.166 (talk) 22:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art LACMA meetup
Due to some unforgivable confusion on my part, the meetup on Saturday the 28th needs to be rescheduled. Please see Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Loves Art/LACMA rules to vote for a day/time that works best for you. Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience.  howcheng  {chat} 05:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Standard Hotel
How fun that you started the article. Both LA locations are interesting (there are some nice design details left over from the Downtown location's days as an oil company headquarters). Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:18, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You might be interested in Armet & Davis and Pann's. I stole your Norm's photo, and hopefully I can get some even better ones and hook them for DYK and illustrate them more fully. I had never even heard of Googie architecture and I think the whole subject is rather fun. It ties a lot of art, culture, architecture, and design together. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:51, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art new date
Based on participants' votes, Wikipedia Loves Art LACMA has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 21, 2009 starting at 1:00 PM. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment and cannot attend. I will need someone to be coordinator for that day. Let me know if you are willing. Thanks, and have fun!  howcheng  {chat} 17:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art preparations
Are you read for WLA this Saturday? Here are some last minute preparations you should do before you arrive.
 * 1) Be sure you have a spiral bound memo pad or notebook (and pen) to take notes and to use for writing the accession numbers, which you then have to photograph (see Wikipedia Loves Art/LACMA rules for details).
 * 2) Be sure to print out the scavenger hunt list at Wikipedia Loves Art/LACMA rules/list. You may also wish to visit http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=onview1 to make a plan of attack.
 * 3) Since tripods and monopods are not allowed in the museum, consider making a string tripod (not as good as the real thing, but better than nothing).

Additionally, we will plan to eat out afterwards at a nearby dining establishment (TBD) -- hope you can join us for that. And finally, I was able to make arrangements for my daughter so I will be able to attend after all. Looking forward to seeing you there!  howcheng  {chat} 19:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Johnie's coffee shop
Nice photo. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I happened to pass by Johnnie's the other day and I thought of you. It's on Fairfax? I guess I should look at the article, ha ha. Also, there's a Culver City art walk 12-8 p.m. May 30 if you're into that kind of thing. Kind of a fun area. But you can't get ketchup at the Father's Office's Culver branch, which come to think of it is probably notable enough for an article. But I'm all about Tomboy's chili cheeseburger... Never been to Tommy's though. And the Saturday evening gallery openings happen all over town and have free booze, but the LA Weekly doesn't include many of the listing any more so you need to find a gallery guide or maybe wing it. But it's kind of fun if you haven't been. Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Art Whizin
If you are ever in the area it would be very cool to get a photo of the Chili Bowl restaurant on Pico boulevard (that is now Mr. Cecil's California Ribs). There's a photo of it in the LA Times article and it looks cool. Let me know if the ribs are good if you get any. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:14, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Resurrection of Southern California Task Force
After moving from Los Angeles County to Kern County to San Luis Obispo County, I am finally realizing that there is life in California outside of L.A. and San Francisco, where I lived and grew up. Oh, I have also lived in San Diego, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento counties, and I earned my undergraduate degree in Riverside County. I am trying to breathe life into the Southern California Task Force, and I hope you will join me. Could you visit our list of participants at the other end of this link and update your description of what you are interested in doing for us, assuming that you still want to be in the mix, that is.

In recompense, I will buy you a drink during the Wikipedia Welcome Week I am planning for Morro Bay on the Central Coast in July. Yours sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 18:31, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia
Hi Minnaert. I noticed that you copied some of the content at Frank & Seder Building (Pittsburgh) from Frank & Seder Building. Please note that you should provide an attribution notice when you copy content from other Wikipedia pages like this—see WP:COPYWITHIN for more info. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 01:21, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the edits to Frank & Seder Building (Pittsburgh) Lord Bolingbroke. I wasn't sure how best to include the detail from the other Frank & Seder, I had assumed preserving the references was enough, but the See Also addition makes a lot more sense. Thanks, the article is much improved.
