Responding to 2025 wildfires

A number of folks related to Wikimedia LA have started to work on topics and articles related to the recent fires. I thought I'd point out a few here in case folks want to help:

Feel free to highlight more. @JSFarman, Ser Amantio di Nicolao, Penny Richards, and Jengod: - Fuzheado | Talk 14:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to start on articles for Pasadena Humane Society and Watch Duty. (I can't believe there isn't already an article.)
Thank you Andrew! JSFarman (talk) 02:49, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, great idea. If you don't mind, I started it here: Draft:Watch Duty. Edit away! - Fuzheado | Talk 14:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone able to get a picture of G-Son studios in Atwater village?

Looking for a photo or two to accompany the article about the Beastie Boys legendary studios, G-Son, but I can’t find anything that’s free to use/CC licensed. FOARP (talk) 01:13, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to deprecate Incorporated and Unincorporated area static maps

I have started a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California#Proposal to deprecate Incorporated and Unincorporated area static maps, proposing to deprecate the Incorporated and Unincorporated area static maps like File:San Diego County California Incorporated and Unincorporated areas San Diego Highlighted.svg, many of which were originally uploaded in 2007, in favor of using Template:Maplink and the like, and have those templates automatically import the current border data from OpenStreetMap and other sources. Please make any comments there. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:24, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
