Correction

The Hollywood Forever Cemetery entry lists Martin Landau as Jean Harlow's agent. Her agent was Arthur Landau and I would guess it is he who is interred there. Lvuback1 (talk) 03:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File:Bugsy Siegel Crypt.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

	An image used in this article, File:Bugsy Siegel Crypt.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations What should I do?
	Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

I wish to contest the deletion of my personal photo: Bugsy_Siegel_Crypt.jpg - This is a photo that I personally took and IS NOT a copyright violation. The fact that someone has copied my photo from Wikipedia to some other web site DOES NOT make my copy a violation! I can provide an original, if necessary, that the photo is indeed mine.

It looks like it's already deleted, so I don't know what the issue was. There's some chance that the copyright concern was over the monument itself. Sculptures can be copyrighted too. In any case, I suggest uploading the image again, perhaps to Wikipedia rather than Wikimedia. Will Beback talk 23:20, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that Dee Dee Ramone was mentioned twice. Once under his legal name (Douglas Glenn Colvin aka Dee Dee Ramone) and again as Dee Dee Ramone. I think one of these should be removed. (I recomend keeping Douglas Glenn Colvin aka Dee Dee Ramone. ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.123.241.235 (talk) 22:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History section needs references

The second paragraph does not have any references on Jules Roth, particularly about him and also his ownership of then Hollywood Memorial Cemetary. Need those citations that show he was a convicted felon, misusing funds, etc.. Janetmanning (talk) 17:16, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Half of the ages are wrong

If a person was born in 1900 and died in 1950, there is only a 50% chance she was 50 years old when she died, it's just as likely that she was 49. Many of the listed ages on this page are incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.154.116.178 (talk) 19:09, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I deleted this sentence from the History section:

"In 2015, a lawn on the south end of the property was paved and made into a parking lot for Paramount employees."

I'm 100% sure that's wrong. The south end of the property abuts Paramount, however the cemetery does not have any land to spare. The cemetery did not have any empty lawn space on the south end that could accommodate a parking lot. I live nearby and have seen the grounds numerous times over the years. I can assure you, a new parking lot has not been added. 63.92.241.249 (talk) 04:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC) Darwin[reply]
