This should be its own portal about the metropolitan areas in SoCal. I will move it to be its own portal if no one disagrees by 12-17-09. House1090 ( talk) 02:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Yet another user unwilling to talk it out, its horrible to see what wikipedia is becoming, a place to vandalize. I rearranged the metros to show largest to smallest, it only makes sence. Also Orange County is not a metro its in the LA MSA, user SoCalLA keeps on revertiong me without stating why, or references. I just reverted him for the last time as it was my second, I am not going further with this. If he does not state reasons or references I will take him to AN, I dont want problems, I am trying to settle them. If some one agrees with him or if he can state why he is reverting me I am willing to listen and move on. House1090 ( talk) 04:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
It was suggested at
WT:CAL#Portals of Los Angeles and San Diego that a template akin to {{California portal}}
be created for this portal. Now obviously with the focus on the metropolitan area, the seal of the city of LA is not appropriate. Any suggestions on what image, if any, we should use? --

This article contains the sentence "Hollywood leads the world in the creation of motion pictures". This statement seems ambiguous at best, and under some interpretations might be false. Although Hollywood generates the most revenue for its motion picture output ($11B in 2010, well ahead of Japan and India), it does not lead the world in either the total number of films produced (India), or the aggregate number of tickets sold (India again, followed by China.) ( reference article). Manning ( talk) 21:35, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
I updated the intro article to reflect the current article on the greater area. it just needs to be updated as the actual article changes. no rewrite necessary. i also updated the DYK to show actual articles, not unsourced factoids. i mostly edit the SFBA portal, but whats the point of having a competition with the LA portal if its not up to snuff? id like to see both be high class. this has potential, if people can get behind adding more info.

Is this portal replacing the Los Angeles portal? Otherwise, what's the idea of replacing the templates in articles for places actually within Los Angeles itself? Please enlighten me... -- jnkyrdsprkl ( talk) 20:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:31, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
