The office of mayor is non-partisan. The party affiliation is not necessarily more relevant than their ethnicity or religion. I object to posting it and will remove it, despite user:Cmdrbond's nifty "colouring" job, unless convinced otherwise. Cheers, - Willmcw 07:12, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Willmcw. Totally irrelevant. You might just as well shade the boxes for ethnicity or religion. Ethnicity in particular has more relevance in local politics than do national political parties. GeorgeLouis ( talk) 00:10, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Four problems: (1) The office is nonpartisan. (2) In the added column, there were no sources for the claim of the given mayor's party affiliation. Without a source we can't use it. (3) Some mayors changed their political affiliation. (4) Really, there is no consensus that this column should be there. An observation: Each mayor's article should have information about the party affiliation, or lack thereof, so it is not absolutely necessary that this chart include it: Deleting the info from the chart does not mean that the info is deleted from the encyclopedia; it is just in a different place. I hope everybody understands that this is nothing personal. Sincerely, a friend to all, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 19:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
You are right about the office of the mayor. It and the other posts were at one time VERY partisan. Haven't a chance to investigate just when the switch to nonpartisanship was made, though. I have been VERY busy writing new articles for every single City Council office since 1925, starting with Charles Randall. I'm up to Ned R. Healy, which is a chore because there is no LA Library file posted on line for him. I believe I will start the article anyway and ask for the help of any editor who can get to the downtown library to check his file: They won't do it for me by e-mail. Also, you might want to check List of Los Angeles municipal election returns, which I've begun. I've also completed updates for all the City Council districts— Los Angeles City Council District 1 through Los Angeles City Council District 15. Also I updated all the council members from District 10—mainly because I had a good personal picture of Herb Wesson I wanted to use. In truth, I have never seen those sites you mentioned. I am more of a Los Angeles history buff. But I guess this doesn't have much to do with improving this page. Sorry for bending your ear.

I noticed that Mayor of Los Angeles redirects to this list. Why not have a page all about the mayor and his job and all the background on him and then inside that page include all the lists that are on this page? -- Cmdrbond 21:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Why is there a gap, January 13, 1855–January 25, 1855? The mayors preceeding this time and the one after all served May to May, so it seems odd that there is a break for this time... but even weirder that it's the same mayor before and after it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.13.132.150 ( talk) 04:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
On May 1, 2008, the Mayor of Los Angeles welcomed illegal and illegal immigrants to events designed to protest enforcement of America's immigration laws. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.148.23 ( talk) 00:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
The official city website describes Villaraigosa as the 41st Mayor of Los Angeles ( here). The list on this page makes him the 52nd Mayor. Even excluding from the numbering scheme those who served only as Acting Mayor (all three of them), there's still a major discrepancy. Clearly something's wrong – any ideas what? — Lincolnite ( talk) 08:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Couldn't this page List of mayors of Los Angeles (pre-statehood mayors) be better named ? Something like List of pre-statehood mayors of Los Angeles, California following the governor's list List of pre-statehood governors of California - although not as directly connected to Statehood.

I just noticed that for 1929 and 1932, William E. Bonelli is listed as the/a losing candidate, yet clicking on his name redirects to William G. Bonelli. On the "G" page (and the JoinCalifornia website which was the apparent source), he's listed as having run unsuccessfully for mayor both years. I presume that "G" is correct based on the available information (a search for "E" turned up no credible references), and will change it from "E" to "G" for both entries, however I wanted to put an extended note here in case someone is able to document that "E" is actually correct and I am mistaken.

I deleted this recently added paragraph because the chair of the Board of Supervisors is just never referred to as the County Mayor, except maybe in an L.A. Times headline, and there seems to be no chance of confusing the two offices.
The title should not be confused with the mayor of Los Angeles County, which refers to the chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The County mayor title is purely ceremonial.

They should not be listed here. The council president is always acting mayor when the mayor is out of the state. For example, G. Vernon Bennett was acting mayor when Fletcher Bowron went gallivanting. What do the rest of you think? Yours, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 00:21, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
I added the party color to the list so that this list would match the featured list for Mayor of San Francisco more closely. I personally like including the colors because it makes it easier to visualize the political party at a glance better than with just text. It also seems like this standard that is generally accepted for other featured lists of mayors. Finally, I don't think that the fact that the coding is a little more complicated in and of itself should be a concern since this will be transparent to most users. I didn't want to revert back the edit without some discussion first, and I'm interested to see what other people think. mcd51 ( talk) 15:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
