Talk:Half-pipe

Title
The title of this article is spelled incorrectly. Half-pipe is the correct spelling, which currently redirects to this. See the Webster's Dictionary entry here:.

The main article should be "Half-pipe" and this page should be the redirect. I am willing to make the changes to this and the articles that link here myself but will wait a while to see if there are any sources supporting the unhyphenated "halfpipe" spelling (sources on par with Webster's, that is).

Bias
There is a significant pro-Australian bias in this article. From a brief read, it seems like the only halfpipes in existence reside in NSW, Australia.


 * Agreed. I want to delete the section, I'm not sure halfpipes in Australia is very encyclopedia worthy... Orbframe 08:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Because I'm an Aussie, and have no experience in Extreme sports, I'm not the person to correct this. I'm just trying to give you guys the heads up -- Saberwyn - 02:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Definitions
The article is missing the definition of fs/bs transition. I think it's one of the most common questions among beginning boarders and should be mentioned here.

Alex Perelson AfD
Hey. The articke about vert boarder Alex Perelson is undergoing a deletion debate. I don't think anyone involved in the debate (myself included) has anything but a superficial knowledge of skate culture. Is this lad a flash in the pan or do you think he's notable? There's been no recent discussion there and I would like to bee sure we've generated a clear consensus. Please pipe in. Thanks. - House of Scandal (talk) 16:48, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

[citation needed] Is this a valid citation?
This is my first attempt at making an edit on Wikipedia and I am requesting an opinion on the validity of a citation for answering this citation needed request.


 * Tom Stewart, one of these young California skateboarders,[citation needed] looked for a more convenient location.

Tom Stewart is referenced by skateboard photographer Warren Bolster in Gesmer, Daniel (2004) The Legacy of Warren Bolster: Master of Skateboard Photography. Publisher: Concrete Wave Editions. ISBN-10: 0973528613.

The Legacy of Warren Bolster contains only two photographs of Tom Stewart and just a scant few sentences of information on him and his product/company, Rampage, Inc.

Examples from the book are Web published at these URLs Tom Stewart, Rampage

Do you agree or disagree that this is enough to satisfy the citation requirement?

 * That does look like good sourcing especially given the date of the photograph. If it came down to it, a competing claim to being the first half-pipe would probably be about as good.  In that case, we'd present both claims with backing citations and allow readers to make up their own minds.  —EncMstr (talk) 20:17, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

I have a question for anyone who knows the answer. Is there a standard or required length for half-pipes in each sport that uses them?TnTaur (talk) 16:18, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Zaugg Ad
Hi, I’ve noticed that there seems to be an advertisement for Zaugg and added an advertisement banner accordingly. I don’t know what else to do. Thanks! AwesomestUser (talk) 17:24, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

I agree that it was like an advert, so I cut the content down to one sentence with a more neutral slant, and removed other non-encyclopedic content that mentioned two companies that train equipment operators. Itsfullofstars (talk) 18:03, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
