Talk:Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Myrtle Beach, a WikiProject which aims to expand coverage of the Myrtle Beach/Grand Strand area on Wikipedia. Please feel free to join us in the editing process.

Hello,I realize that you have a very big website and that it is going to take a whole lot of time to probably do work to each and every different page that you have on different pieces of information. I will come in and periodically input in some stuff into your Myrtle Beach page because it is heavily missing some things that I think you guys should have in there to be talking about a city with this type of magnitude. It like other major cities like it must have lots and lots(tons) of info on what they have to offer and also what they have as for entertainment and for history as well. So, I will come in and help you out with this. You may want to come in and rearrange it sometimes though. You know update the information that I place in.

[edit] The New Roads Are Done

I've added all of the new roads to the article. I'm working on the other content as well, in the future.

[edit] Copying and Pasting from Myrtle Beach Tourism Sites/Resources

A lot of people are doing it, so I thought I'd make a note of it on the talk page, but PLEASE do not copy and paste material from these websites. First off, it's plagarism. There are possibly copyright infringement issues that result from it. Second, it's not NPOV. These sites use flowery terms to describe Myrtle Beach because they are advertising for it. It is not exactly what you want in an encyclopedia. Third - and maybe I'm being redundant here - copying and pasting advertising material onto Wikipedia is, in fact, advertising. Wikipedia is not a forum for advertising. So please, quit copying and pasting this material onto the site. If there is something worthwhile from one of those sites, summarize it in neutral terms and link to the source. --Jakob Huneycutt 18:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral Point of View

We really need a neutral point of view on Myrtle Beach's page. See below:

With numerous players ranked high in the state and region, they are a powerhouse that are expected to take it all this year. The guys team is as strong as ever and is looking for and excellent season.

An unidenified player from Myrtle Beach High School will be playing a dissapointing role on this team. Upon researching his career statistics it was shown that he was constantly injured. The Thunderboltz are hoping he does not blow their chances of winning any games.

These comments have since been removed. --Isipeoria 20:46, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restaurants

This section should be altered or removed due to POV issues (eg. "Great tasting massive buffet"). Some entries may also violate spam policy. I have removed Address and Phone numbers but will leave the section cleanup for a project member. Wikipedia is not a Tourist Guide... Squeakygoose 16:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I live in MB. There are several "great tasting massive buffets" in the area. Believe me, I know. I've eaten at almost every restaurant in a 20 mile radius! --Krusty Surfer Dude 02:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
