Nice
[edit]I realize I'm flirting with WP:OWN here, but it is nice to see an article one has created get some attention from others. Since they didn't bother to mention it to me, I'm just going to hide my thanks on the talk page here! So nyah!! Anyways, thanks a bunch for the picture, Parsifal, that's excellent. Thanks also for Squeak and GregorB. I know this article could be so much longer, I was really hoping someone who knows the story would sketch an outline. But then, I've been wanting to read something besides Schopenhauer and Minsky. :) Thanks again, ya'll. It's nice. Eaglizard 09:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Not in San Francisco
[edit]The Krotona page has a photo (jpg) of Knudsen standing by "the Lotus Pond" which the caption says was located "west of Temple Hill Drive, in San Francisco." I feel sorry for the poor wretch who, taking his cue from that, goes off searching for the Theosophists' Lotus Pond in San Francisco, or, trying to locate Temple Hill Drive supposedly in San Francisco. Unless I am wrong (and apologies in advance if I am) there is not and never has been a Temple Hill Drive in San Francisco, and this photo (jpg) should be corrected to say "Los Angeles" (where in fact everything else in the Krotona article is centered, and where indeed there is a Temple Hill Drive where also the Theosophists had a lotus pond). 68.123.4.18 (talk) 02:16, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Good catch, the photo caption on Wikimedia Commons is just as you say. Thanks 〜 Adflatuss • talk 02:37, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
Random Person Inserted Into Article?
[edit]The third paragraph of the article reads, in part: "The Hollywood Krotona building located at Primrose and Vista Del Mar was erected in 1919. Tenants have included Annie Sullivan Knudsen (sugar cane heiress), New Yorker Grace Shaw Duff, Henry Hotchener, Marie Russak, silver screen stars Mary Astor and Charlie Chaplin, and record producer Joshua Rumer of Invengo Records."
Joshua Rumer of Invengo Records is apparently the person listed on this website ( http://loud-stuff.weebly.com/invengo-records.html ) and he seems to be promoting his record company/rock opera project, and has no clear historical connection to the people/place he's mentioned alongside, as he clearly was not born until long after the people he is claimed to have been associated with in the article. Probably best to strike this line from the article. Orwellson (talk) 02:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
