[edit] Contents menu position
Is it possible to fix the position of the contents menu panel, so it appears beside the introduction, rather than below it with blank space beside it? Maradja 00:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Post Surf Culture for speedy deletion
I've requested speedy deletion of the apparent attack page Post Surf Culture. I mention it here because this is the only page that currently links to it, so the link should presumably be deleted from this page if the attack article is indeed deleted. --Officiallyover 14:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Awesome expansion of this article!
See talk:Gidget for some background. Andrewa 07:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Localism" Inaccurate/Incomplete?
It's interesting that only the negative side of "localism" is portraied in this article.
Don't get me wrong, localism has a very definate negative side.
But it also has a positive side, where groms and newcomers pay their dues and are mentored by older, more experienced locals in a give spot or area. This is somewhat like an apprenticeship.
Also, we don't reference well know "surf gangs" like Da Hui and the Bra Boys, who are intricately tied in with localism and surf culture and have Wikipedia entries of their own. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dougirwin13 (talk • contribs) 01:17, September 20, 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, and everything before the Quotes section should probably be broken up into more sections. —Kenyon (t·c) 08:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] General Surfing Issues
I've added merge tags to three sections that seem to belong more in the general surfing article than this surfing culture sub-article. I think they fall out of the scope of this article. -- Jmartinsson 20:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Billabong logo.gif
Image:Billabong logo.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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 other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.
