Copyvio
I created this article and I don't remember using the source you've found, although I certainly did use a source, which I should have credited. It may have been the Heritage Trail page or some other page or offline resource which they too have used. If you look at the very first edit you will see that the amount of material from that source is quite limited, and that I (and others) have introduced plenty of original material, including an image which I took myself. I do not believe that the article exhibits more than fair use. I request a reappraisal of the copyvio on this basis. Naturenet | Talk 19:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, I've made a note with the copyvio listing that your statement is here. However I do not understand enough about copyright violations and what is and isn't allowable as fair use to give you any answers. When someone who does understand examines it I'm sure they will comment here. There isn't any need for a "reapraisal" as such - the article is currently marked as a possible copyright violation - if an article is found to be a copyvio then it is deleted; if it isn't a copyvio then the notice gets removed. If some bits are ok and others not then its more complicated than that, but the current situation is only temporary. WP:CP should explain more if you want to know.

Comments

 * There is no discussion of its length, or age, which I gather are somewhat special.
 * The iron pilings are rotting? Surely you mean rusting ???--Filll 14:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Claimed legend
The claimed legend about children being thrown off the end of the pier needs to be substantiated by citation, or deleted. It may be true, but is also the sort of thing someone might have made up and added to Wikipedia for amusement. IanB2 (talk) 23:00, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
