Photo

It's a shame that the lone image that used to be in the article has been removed for copyright reasons. I have an image of the Windansea surf shack (licensed under Creative Commons Noncommercial) that could be used. See it here: http://flickr.com/photos/jbird/318008591/sizes/o/ I am the photographer and there are no copyright issues. I would edit the article myself to include the image but I'm not that savvy with formatting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.37.154.155 (talk) 16:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposed

Since Windansea, Windansea Beach and Windansea, California have nearly duplicate wording and cover the same topic, I propose that they be merged into Windansea Beach and Windansea, California and Windensea be changed into redirect pages or into an article that covers the community of Windansea (if it's even a community or separate from the beach). I'm not familiar with the area, though, so I can't say whether the community (if it exists) deserves an article of its own. Orayzio 21:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The main article should be at Windansea, which can cover the neighborhood and the adjacent beach which is its namesake. Windansea Beach and Windansea, California should be redirects to Windansea. By the way, since Windansea is a neighborhood of La Jolla, a community of San Diego, arguably, by the absurd convention some editors promote, the name of the article should be Windansea, La Jolla, San Diego, California. Absurd! Windansea is a unique name, and the name most often used to refer to the area; it should be the name of the article. By the way, the name itself is completely informal. There is no offical recognition of this name. The La Jolla realtors call this neighborhood the Beach-Barber Tract. Hope this helps. --Serge 03:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's very helpful information, but I will point out that there is official recognition of Windansea Beach here and [here]. Windansea, without the "Beach" is also mentioned in several documents on the San Diego web site, as well as a Windansea Park. It appears, though, that Windansea Beach is the most common designation and the most encyclopedia-worthy name, which is why I lean towards including Beach in the surviving article name.

Confusing text

@Freshiker: You wrote, "The presence of surf beginners in the water may disturb the stricter surfing etiquette observed in more treacherous terrains." What is a "surf beginner". Do you mean someone who is a novice surfer? What is "stricter surfing etiquette"? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:41, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the blurb. Surf beginner is novice surfer, and the surfing 'etiquette' was simply reused from the source. You can phrase it differently, it's OK with me. Freshiker (talk) 15:50, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
