[edit] Welcome
Hello! I've noticed that you have edited Wikipedia without logging in to an account. I'm happy that you've been contributing. However, I urge you to create an account. Here is a list of the benefits of having an account:
- You can create new pages
- You can use watchlists
- You can upload images
- You can keep your account from being unfairly blocked if you share an IP address
- You can use scripts to better fight annoying vandalism
- After four days, you can edit semi-protected pages
- After a while, you might be able to become an administrator
There are no cons to signing up for an account. In fact, you can find even more pros at the "why create an account" page! Signing up is completely free and you don't need to enter any personal information! Plus you can have a user page like mine! So, unless you can think of a con, sign up for an account right now!

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ellis Hobbs. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Pats1 T/C 02:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

- The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule 'img[0-9]+\.imageshack\.us/img[0-9]+/.*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg)' (link(s): http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/9613/hollywoodmc6.jpg]*HOLYWOOD - April 1977, For Easter sunrise service, viewable from the Hollywood Bowl and in September of 1987 for Pope John Paul II's arrival.[1]*GO NAVY - November 1983, before that year's Army-Navy Game at the Rose Bowl stadium.*RAFFEYSOD - January 1985, by a New Orleans band called "The Raffeys", who were in town trying to drum up publicity.*HOLLYWOOD II - April 1986, to mark the revitalization of area.*FOX - April 1987, for promotion for the TV network.*CALTECH - May 1987, on Hollywood's 100th birthday.*OLLYWOOD - July 1987, during the Iran-Contra hearings (in reference to Oliver North).*USCWOOD - Fall 1987, for the annual UCLA-USC football game.*OIL WAR - 1991, for the Persian Gulf war.*For the 1992 film Cool World, a giant cartoon character (named "Holli Would") from the film was installed, appearing to sit on the sign. This was designed as publicity for the movie, and it remained there for a long time.*PEROTWOOD - During the 1992 Presidential election and the 1996 Presidential Election, both times showing support for candidate Ross Perot. The second time this happened, the pranksters were apparently able to dismantle the security system.*GO UCLA - Fall 1993, for the annual UCLA-USC football game. Twenty members of UCLA's Theta Chi Fraternity achieved the prank, and were subsequently charged with trespassing. This incident prompted the installation of a $100,000 security system in 1994, complete with video surveillance and motion detection.* On January 1, 2000, the sign was lit up in an array of flashing colors in celebration of the new millennium.==Imitations==

Numerous towns around the world have created their own signs that deliberately mimic the look of the Hollywood Sign:*Alburquerque, Badajoz, Spain*Leysin, Switzerland*Bathurst, Australia (on Mount Panarama)*Braşov, Romania*Caurimare, Caracas, Venezuela*Coron, Philippines*Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua Mexico[2] *Cullera, Spain*Culver City, California (on a small hill at the intersection of Sepulveda and Jefferson)*Dartford, Kent, England (Crossways Business Park)*Denison, Iowa (hometown of actress Donna Reed)*Des Arc, Arkansas*Deva, Romania*Dingle, Ireland (taken down after it was discovered to be 'illegal')*Endless Caverns, New Market, Virginia*Fremont, California (Niles Canyon – where Charlie Chaplin made The Tramp in 1915 for Essanay Studios)*Hammarstrand, Sweden[3]*Heywood, Greater Manchester, England*Keelung, Taiwan*Lomas de lo Aguirre, Chile*Los Santos, San Andreas (fictional - reads VINEWOOD after the area in which it is located)*Machynlleth, Wales*Manhattan, Kansas*Richmond, Virginia (put up illegally, later taken down)*Matmâta, Tunisia*Mosgiel, New Zealand*Nouméa, New Caledonia*Oroville, California*Penticton, British Columbia, Canada*Pismo Beach, California*Randers, Denmark*Rasnov, Romania*Ponce, Puerto Rico*Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Portugal*Reykjanesbær, Iceland*Riverview, New Brunswick, Canada *Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada *Seligman, Arizona A large S on Seligman Mountain.

In Duarte, California the Duarte D can be seen off the 210 freeway. Next to Dodger Stadium is another imitation of the sign with the words "THINK BLUE". Rose Hills Memorial Park also has their own sign far from the main cemetery grounds with the simple words "ROSE HILLS". It is made with the same material as the actual sign as well as the same style, but glows neon pink in the evenings.The Hollywood Sign has been replicated on the side of a small hill next to a bar called "Legends" on Bradford Road in Batley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.[[springfield.png|200px|thumb|left|Springfield png) .
