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:

• New category: Category:Buildings and structures destroyed by the January 2025 Southern California wildfires
• New articles
  • Robert Bridges House
  • Zorthian Ranch
  • Altadena Community Church
  • Topanga Ranch Motel
  • St. Matthew's Episcopal Church and School (Pacific Palisades, California)
  • St. Mark's Episcopal Church (Altadena, California)
• Articles for improvement
  • Community United Methodist Church of Pacific Palisades

Feel free to highlight more. @JSFarman, Ser Amantio di Nicolao, Penny Richards, and Jengod: - Fuzheado | Talk 14:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250114144800","author":"Fuzheado","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Fuzheado-20250114144800-Responding_to_2025_wildfires","replies":["c-JSFarman-20250115024900-Fuzheado-20250114144800"]}}-->

I am going to start on articles for Pasadena Humane Society and Watch Duty. (I can't believe there isn't already an article.)
