Maybe it was the beachside restaurant where you had that first date that changed everything, or the neighborhood watering hole where LA finally felt like home after you moved here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The websites or Instagram pages are still up for many landmarks that were either damaged or destroyed in January’s fires. There are articles strewn across the internet. But if you want their histories, their cultural heritages in context, those — like so many of the structures themselves — are largely scattered to the wind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which is why one organization is taking on a less traditional form of disaster relief: Fireproofing history, by preserving it online. On a recent Saturday, two dozen or so walk-in volunteers and trained Wikipedia editors — who are also volunteers — congregated over laptops and cups of coffee. They’re writing new entries, adding citations, updating information, and uploading photos to Wikipedia articles related to the January 2025 wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have the potential, ourselves, to preserve this history, to preserve what we lost and make sure that what was destroyed in the fires isn’t forgotten,” says Emery Dalesio, an aerospace engineer who moonlights as a volunteer facilitator, organizer, and editor with \u003ca href=\"https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Los_Angeles\">WikiLA\u003c/a>, Wikipedia’s Los Angeles editing group.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12031176/california-other-states-gear-up-fight-department-educations-dismantling\">\u003cstrong>CA, Other States Gear Up To Fight Department Of Education’s Dismantling\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California joined nearly two dozen other states in suing the U.S. Department of Education on Thursday over its move to almost halve its workforce, which Attorney General \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/rob-bonta\">Rob Bonta\u003c/a> said would hamper funding for low-income students and anti-discrimination efforts in districts across the state and Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department announced Tuesday that it would place 1,350 employees on administrative leave next week. Combined with nearly 600 employees who have accepted voluntary buy-outs or resignations since President Trump took office, that constitutes a cut of almost 50% of the department’s workforce — what Education Secretary Linda McMahon \u003ca href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/video/6369901522112\">told Fox News\u003c/a> was the first step to shutting down the department entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This en masse firing exceeds any statutory authority granted by Congress,” Bonta said at a press conference announcing the suit, joined by 20 other Democratic attorneys general on Thursday morning. “Alongside numerous other actions the Trump administration has taken, this sweeping mass firing is, simply put, illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/tornado-pico-rivera-damage-la-explainer\">\u003cstrong>Tornado Touches Down In Pico Rivera, Uprooting Trees\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A small tornado uprooted trees and damaged roofs and cars in Pico Rivera early Thursday, just as a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/march-storm-mudslide-snow-effects\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">powerful storm was moving out of Southern California\u003c/a>, the National Weather Service confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said the tornado touched down between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. with wind speeds of 85 mph. The tornado lasted 2 minutes and was around 1 mile long and 80 yards wide, damaging roughly four blocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Wofford, a meteorologist at NWS, told LAist the tornado measured 0 on the \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.weather.gov/oun/efscale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>EF scale\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, the lowest rating.

The \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Assessment#Quality_scale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criteria\u003c/a> for a \"featured\" article is comprehensiveness, neutrality and accuracy.

A 2014 study found about 25,000 pages of English-language health-related articles. That number is now up to 32,000, Heilman says.
