The spelling of the "Cocoanut Grove" was just "corrected" to "Coconut Grove". How sure are we that this is a correction? It clearly has been the "Cocoanut Grove" in the past - many nightclubs use this spelling. Had it been changed to "Coconut" at some point? If so, it would be of some interest to say when. I think Image:Cocoa(sic)nut.png refers to this nightclub, though it's hard to be sure due to poor resolution. - Nunh-huh 00:23, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- You may be right - both are used in articles, but "Cocoanut" seems to be the right version. Mea culpa.Willmcw 00:27, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- I was sort of wondering if they changed the spelling after the famous "Cocoanut Grove" fire (in Boston)...not that it's much of a change to Coconut... but if they thought they were warding off a curse or something... maybe not... - Nunh-huh 00:48, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- It has always been "Cocoanut Grove" and stayed that way until the hotel closed. Any spellings in connection with The Ambassador Hotel that are "Coconut Grove" are simply wrong. 71.107.57.131 06:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Hotels
Why on earth would someone remove Category:Hotels from an article about a hotel???
- Because there is already Category:California hotels. All hotels in California are hotels, so there's no reason to double categorize the article. See Wikipedia:categorization. I guess we really need a "defunct hotels" category. Thanks, -Will Beback 21:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Angel
The Angel episode "Parting Gifts" which was filmed at the Ambassador was from the first season, not the third. (This is hard to verify from an acceptable-to-Wikipedia source, but see eg here.) --Bth 09:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article Clean-Up
I just want the Wikipedia Community to know, I cleaned-up this article. Many people might want to learn more about The Ambassador Hotel. Asher Heimermann 09:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of External Link to 'Art The Doorman' article.
To whomever are helping edit this article, please note the repeated, unwarranted vandalism of the link to The Ambassador Hotel's longest serving Doorman, "Art The Doorman" Nyhagen, doorman at the Ambassador Hotel for over 45 years, and doorman at the door, and questioned by the various investigating authorities for almost 48 hours upon the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Any viewing of the link, not to mention the 13 other Ambassador Hotel history sites that link to it as well, will show the validity and appropriateness of the link. I don't intend to get into deletion war with, WikiOTR, and his history of vandalizing and link spamming other articles. Any help or further assistance would be greatly appreciated.76.170.239.56 08:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- The link appears reasonable and informative. Why is it being deleted? -Will Beback · † · 00:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

- The user named WikiOTR has apparently made it his or her mission in life to eliminate any and all links originating from that host site. I agree. The link is both informative, reasonable and historic in the vein of the article.76.170.239.56 05:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
