Why is this page allowed to exist on WikiP? There are no sources given, although the facts seem to be solid. I think it was written by the cathedral public-relations machine itself.

Shouldn't we just delete it until the people who wrote it put in their sources?

Like many pages, this article was written before we became as concerned about having every sentence. It would be inappropriate to toss out the article just because the sources which were undoubtedly consulted to write are not listed. If there are any particular facts which you think should be sourced then the current practice is to add the {fact} template. - Will Beback 07:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Popular culture

The church was featured on October 25th, 2006's episode of South Park. Just noting incase there ever is a "trivia" section about this famous cathedral.-- Freepablo 02:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC) reply

It is Wikipedia policy to discourage trivia sections, but the fact could be integrated into a beefed up "Popular culture" section. -- Gerald Farinas ( talk) 03:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Saint Vibiana?

According to the article, she is actually burried at the cathedral. Is this true? Or is it just some relics relating to her? -- Ragemanchoo ( talk) 07:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Some Feedback

I have contributed to this article and have footnoted my work (#3 and #5) and I will continue to do so. To suggest the article was "written by the cathedral public-relations machine itself" is not only ludicrous (go read my contributions) but sadly, it smacks of anti-Catholic bigotry.

Yes the earthly remains of Saint Vibiana are located in the sarcophagus in the St. Vibiana chapel at the cathedral. Dataproducts ( talk) 20:27, 11 September 2008 (UTC) reply

"full name"

The text says "The cathedral is named in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the patronal title of Our Lady of the Angels, echoing the full name of the original settlement of Los Angeles (Spanish: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles, or "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels")." The word "Queen" does not appear in the footnote, and the article History of Los Angeles says "The name first given to the settlement is debated. Historian Doyce P. Nunis has said that the Spanish named it "El Pueblo de la Reyna de los Angeles" ("The Town of the Queen of the Angels"). For proof, he pointed to a map dated 1785, where that phrase was used. Frank Weber, the diocesan archivist, replied, however, that the name given by the founders was "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de Porciuncula", or "the town of Our Lady of the Angels of Porciuncula." and that the map was in error" Why does this article contradict what the diocesan archivist himself said? -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 11:02, 16 June 2017 (UTC) reply

Category:Christian organizations established in 2002

Is this category appropriate? It should be considered that the cathedral parish is an entity that has existed for much longer than that. The site has changed, perhaps the parochial territory is different, but there was continuity with archbishop, a stable community, etc. Elizium23 ( talk) 03:23, 4 December 2019 (UTC) reply
