[edit] Request for update
My God: this page needs some SERIOUS work! How is it that about 1/3 of the history of Eagle Rock, which at one point was an independent city before being annexed by Los Angeles (in the 1920's, I think) is taken up by descriptions of two serial killers? (the previous unsigned comment was left by on 08:29, 21 August 2006 Blintz )
[edit] Class Warfare
Look gang, I'm fed up with seeing "upper class" "middle class" "upper middle class" wars on this page. Leave it at "upper middle class" for now, unless you can SOURCE your information. If I see one more edit on class, I will be removing the line for being WP:OR. You have been warned. Timmccloud 00:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- The "class" distinction is WP:OR unless you can substatiate your claim. I will continue to remove "class" based edits until someone can prove it. Timmccloud 13:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hello 76.232.121.133, thank you for your edits to wikpedia. I lived in Eagle Rock for 23 years, I have relatives there, I went to school there, and I know the community well. I personally agree with your opinion that Eagle is a upper middle class neighborhood, HOWEVER opinions aside, this is an encyclopeda, and if you make a assertation, you must back it up with factual evidence. If this is true, you can find any numerous places where the neighborhood is described that meets the wikipedia policy of Reliable Sources, otherwise your opinion is considered Original Research, and that is specifically prohibited. So please state your references in your edits, in the meantime I have removed them and will continue to do so until they are backed up with fact. I am also putting a copy of this message on the article talk page. Tim McCloud, ERHS Class of '79 Timmccloud 23:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eagle Rock deserves better
I am coming in and the tail-end of this silly argument, and may I just say, that anyone who has lived in and around Eagle Rock for the last 49 years (like I have), would know that while it has a good sized "upper-middle class", it is far out-numbered by working class families....soooo, I have I recently edited it as , "working class AND upper middle class", THAT should satisfy the boo-birds. And I agree with the fellow about the silly absurd serial killer inclusions. I also added some historcal info, corrections( all of sudden a few yuppies move in and its the center of the "hipster" universe??? PUHLEEZE!!!, Eagle Rock has been harboring the counter culture since the 20s for chrissakes!!!) and other bits here and there. Hey, Eagle Rock deserves better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garagehero (talk • contribs).
[edit] Check out similar pages
There is a swath of cool communites , all the way from East Hollywood through Silverlake, Los Feliz, Echo Park, Atwater, snaking up through Eagle Rock, Highland Park ,South Pasadena and ending up in Pasadena, all connected. They have some good Wikpages, Echo Park, Silverlake etc., and they are similar communites.There is a real renaissance going on here, buddy boy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garagehero (talk • contribs).
[edit] Matthew Lauder Controversy
Well gang, it looks like the Harry Lauder descendants are now using an IPSock to further their vanity agenda again;Special:Contributions/81.152.59.196. It was stated in the edit log once before, let me be perfectly clear here: If the "notable resident" doesn't deserve a wikipedia page on their own right, then they are not notable enough for wikipeda references. Being notable within a specific community is *NOT* notable from an encyclopedic standpoint. Matthew Lauder, and Matt Jr are just people with a famous relative; that does not make them worth an encyclopedia entry on their own right. Please remove the vanity - if you don't there will be other people that will. Timmccloud (talk) 15:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting, as if I read the edit hisory correctly you were originally in favour of retaining him here. Is it Wikipedia's explicit policy that every reasonably notable person must have an article page of their own? Matthew Lauder was notable in his own right in L.A.County at the time. 81.151.85.249 (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
