Article content should be taken to Agustin Ross Cultural Centre, not the main city article. Firstly because the Library is located on the Cultural centre. Secondly because the Main City Article is focused on other topics and not much about education, so an infobox about the library would look weird. --Diego Grez (talk) 15:06, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Surfing

Pichilemu is one of the most important and popular beaches to do Surfing in Chile. I assume that most (non-Chilean) people looking up for Pichilemu on the internet, don't precisely do it to know more about its government or politics. Most people know Pichilemu because of its surfing. Adding that Wikilink just provides more information on that topic. But I won't pursue that debate, so I'll leave it up to you. In any case, you have done a Good job with this article. It looks nice. Likeminas (talk) 17:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Exactly for that reason, I am going to create an article (soon, but not now) on the surfing in Pichilemu, it has some groovy points for surfing ;) Well, it is an article on the commune, and it should include that information, which may seem pointless to foreigners, but well. :) Cheers, Diego Grez (talk) 21:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

From the Scottish Chilean page

The beach resort city Pichilemu, was developed by Agustín Ross Edwards of the Edwards family, a financially powerful family of Scottish and English descent prominent in Chilean society. In part of the region's Scottish settlement and leanings to British culture, Pichilemu was sometimes called Pequena Edinburgo or "Little Edinburgh" after Scotland's capital city.

from my readings, besides the fact that Mr. Ross was of Scot ascent (fact which itself has little importance with the town, since not even his buildings, the park, the former illegal casino, were inspired in Scotland architecture), there was never a British/Scottish settlement in Pichilemu until very recently at an inarguably international settlement called Pura Vida at La Cruz hill.
