Maybe you don't know spanish... there says that Villa Los Navegantes isn't a important article.-- Warko holic  2008   20:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes i speak english, i know what you say isn't a important article. But I expand the article. OK. MisterWiki (talk) 20:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Removed FAR listing
This is not a featured article, is not close to featured status; I suggest what you are looking for is peer review, where it can be submitted for review. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 21:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Expanding
I'm expanding now the article, but if someone can help me, here is the source: http://www.elrancahuaso.cl/admin/render/noticia/7987 -- MisterWiki   talking! :-D  - 23:52, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've replaced the image of the beach with a collage of photos exclusively made by me and the coat of arms. -- MisterWiki  talking! :-D  - 02:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Surfing
Since Pichilemu is the Chilean capital of surfing, I was just thinking that maybe a section (or sub-section) could be created to discuss that activity. The article Surfing in Chile might have some basic information on the most prominent surfing beaches of Pichilemu. Any thoughts on this idea? Regards, Likeminas (talk) 17:39, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Totally agree with you. Working on it :D -- MisterWiki  talking! :-D  - 00:43, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Photo of Ross Hotel
This photograph is dated 1920, but can't be from then-- the cars in the picture look more like 1940's models. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.251.139 (talk) 07:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Impossible, the photo was taken from a newspaper and it textually says: "from 1920". I don't know if you have proofs about it, if you do, contact me and I'll solve this problem. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  13:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgive me but I am not understanding the fair-use rationale. First, the specified source for the photo appears to be a blog page. I don't see a mention of a newspaper nor the year 1920. Second, no author is specified for the photo nor is their date of death. So there is no real explanation about how the copyright rule applies. According to Chilean copyright law the author would have had to have died before 1939. Whether or not the photo was taken in 1920 is technically irrelevant as far as the justification provided for the photo.
 * Also, I agree with the anonymous editor. The cars are perhaps 1930s or 1940s but they are definitely not from 1920.

The photographer was the father of José Arraño, and died on 1932 (according to my grandma). Maybe the photo is from the 1930s. Correcting this. Sorry. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  17:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * PD. The blog page content was extracted from a 1990s newspaper, El Mercurio, and it did published that photo. At that times, José Arraño was still alive to give the photo. About my grandma, she was a great friend of Arraño. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  17:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, that is more specific. But still if you want this to go for GA again I think the next reviewer will probably require more specific info (depends on how strictly the reviewer follows the guidelines). "José Arraño's dad" is not a very good description of the author. Regardless, did his dad own this photo or did it belong to the newspaper (or someone else)? If his dad owned it was the photo published previously or was the recent publication in El Mercurio the first publication (it says by "Marcelo Simonetti Fotos" but that does not tell me anything about when it was published)? If the photo was first published after the author's death then &mdash; I believe &mdash; his date of death does not apply (it is the number of years since publication at that point as far as I understand).
 * You do not necessarily have to have every detail; but what's provided doesn't yet prove it is public domain. Also if possible it is always best to, in some way, provide an authoritative source that could confirm the information that you are providing (e.g. mention the newspaper explicitly including the date and issue of publication so that somebody could call the newspaper and ask questions if they wanted to).

 * I've added more info to the image's description Mcorazao. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  03:37, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Major copy edit
Hi, I am responding to a request at the Guild of Copy Editors for a full copy edit of this article. If I come across any issues, I will put them here. Thanks. -- S Masters (talk) 07:58, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I require clarification on the following statements: I have to stop now but I will try to see if I can rewrite a better introduction in the next few days. -- S Masters (talk) 11:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * A dock, means something different in British English and American English. The reference points towards the construction of a pier. Is this correct?
 * Pichilemu was between the territories of the Palloquierbico, Topocalma, and Gulaquien. - Do Palloquierbico, Topocalma, and Gulaquien still exist today? If they do, then it should read "Pichilemu is...".
 * In the 17th century, Cáhuil was established as the local centre of the region, also having a deputy. - Deputy what? Chief?
 * Later Lauriano Gaete and Ninfa Vargas founded Pichilemu by drawing the design of the city with the engineer Emilio Nichon, based on the Ortuzar avenue. - Are there any legal claims for him to have founded the town/city? Surely you can't claim to have founded a place purely because you put a design on paper? And the town was already in existence. Should this say "founded present-day Pichilemu..."? Still in this section, "...based on the Ortuzar avenue" - what does this mean? Was Ortuzar avenue the center of the town design? How can you base the design of a whole town on one street?
 * Under "Agustin Ross", I'm not quite sure what this means: "Ross designed an urban setting of high environmental value and landscape...". I have modified it slightly and I hope I did not change its meaning.
 * Currently, "The last popularly-elected mayor was Marcelo Cabrera, elected in 2008 with 42.08% of the vote, who served from May 2009 to August 2009 due to legal action" - means that he served this time due to legal action. I'm sure this is not what it is trying to say. Was he forced out of office due to legal action? What happened?
 * Is "children's garden" supposed to mean "kindergarten"? (I have changed it. Change it back if I am wrong). The education section is extremely boring. It requires more than just a whole list of schools. Maybe some history or stats would be more interesting.
 * I consider the full edit copy completed. You can see the full edit here. If you have any issues or need more help, you can contact me on my talk page. Thanks. -- S Masters (talk) 11:43, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, the article is much better now. However it's worth noting that the main contributor to this article,, is blocked until the year 2020. Graham 87 04:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually he's indefinitely blocked; he was originally blocked for 10 years and I didn't realise that the block had been changed. However the result is the same. Graham 87 04:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I only realized that after I completed the full edit. Nevertheless, Wikipedia continues regardless of people. I hope I have been able to improve this article in terms of readability and clarity (and remove the copyedit tag). :-) -- S Masters (talk) 05:33, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry if this is a little late, but MW (now Diego Grez) has been unblocked, but is restricted to editing in his own and User:HJ Mitchell's userspace for the time being. He's been working on this article there. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 03:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That Editing restriction has been reduced, and he is welcome to edit freely again. –SJ +  02:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
