Downey Boys? Williams Ranch, Texas?
This sentence makes little sense: Template:Tq.
- Who or what were the Downey Boys? They are not referenced anywhere else in the article, nor is there an article on the subject elsewhere in the encyclopaedia.
- Where did the people referenced go? The link is to a place in Texas that does not appear to have survived into the 1940s. Are we saying that the zoot suiters moved from LA to a defunct ranch in rural Texas? Why?
- Which also raises the question, 'came back to the... neighbourhood' from what or where? Whilst we try to nail down the destination, can we clarify the starting point?
I don't want to WP:BOLD the statement away, as I suspect there is some rather cool info hidden beneath the confusing phrase. For some reason, I cannot access the RS cited, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the info was meant to be. Any suggestions? Cheers, Last1in (talk) 12:43, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Last1in, I've reworded that para per the source. The wikilink for Williams Ranch was incorrect. (I used archive.org to access the page in the source that discusses the incident.) Schazjmd (talk) 13:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Zoot Suit Riots → Zoot suit riots – Capitalization of "zoot" and "riots" is unnecessary as seen in 1992 Los Angeles riots and Watts riots. DCAllStar (talk) 13:21, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note: WikiProject California/Los Angeles area task force has been notified of this discussion. DCAllStar (talk) 13:22, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Technically, the proposal should be to Zoot suit riots, as "zoot suit" is not a proper noun so only the first word in the title should be capitalized. Anyway, oppose move. A search of google books, newspapers.com, and academic journal papers (via Wikipedia library) shows a consistent capitalization of all three words when referring to the group of incidents.

- Oppose. Seems this is consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of sources per Schazjmd and my own Google search and Ngram.[1][2][3][4][5] --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 01:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
