Why is there a photo of a beach instead of the actual town/urban area in this article? It is by no means offensive but rather odd as it should have formed the basis of another new article , i.e. the Teluk Chempedak beach etc. Alternatively, I suggest that an actual photo of the town be taken, coupled with the current photo of the beach for a sense of completeness. - Arthur Oon 05:09, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Kuantan shall be a big place. Its just not the city. It is around 1200 square km huge. More photos should be placed. Take a shot on the scenery especially at the Panorama hills, the city, the port, ant the waterfall please.

[edit] Media References to Kuantan

Found this interesting reference on Kuantan, it's apparently part of the Command & Conquer mythos/canon

"Nod forces are composed of freedom fighters from other terrorist organizations, mercenaries and conscripts from the territories Nod controls. Before the Sarajevo central headquarters was identified, Nod was believed to have no central command base, instead operating from multiple individual locations, with posts previously identified in Kuantan, Malaysia; the Ar-Rub' al-Khali desert, Saudi Arabia; Tokyo, Japan and Caen, France."

Excerpt taken from the Brotherhood of Nod Wikipedia page.

There's also a mention of Kuantan in an episode of 24, however been unable to find hard substantiation for that.

Worthy of being added in- perhaps a "Trivia" or "Media References" section?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Seal of Kuantan.jpg

Image:Seal of Kuantan.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
