copyvio scan looks ok, I'm not a fan of the green and reds in the table. Recently updated, created article, above 1500. Should note WP:U.S.. I don't like the two Alts, the main hook is ok, but needs rewording, or something to explain what diseños is Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:56, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ALT 1B ... that grantees of ranchos of Los Angeles County submitted hand-drawn maps called diseños (example pictured) when making their land claims to the U.S. government?

@Lee Vilenski: just wanted to circle back on this. What else can I do on my end? TIA jengod (talk) 17:16, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Sortable" table[edit]

The so-called 'sortable' table, isn't sortable. Click on areas or years and the resulting order is apparently random. Celia Homeford (talk) 13:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
