Surfing in Lyme Regis
Hello PaleCloudWhite. Thank you very much for the information and the link for explanation. How is it best to resolve this issue. lyme Regis offers som great surfing and our shop is right on the seafront. We are constantly being phoned for a surf check hence we thought it should be on Wiki. Is there a way to include the surf factor in the article on Lyme Regis? And in there include a link to our contact page so that prospective visitors know there is a number to call in order to get a surf report? Mike8586 (talk) 18:14, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello again. The information provided in Wikipedia should be determined by and based on reliable sources (see here for a description of what that means). If such sources cover surfing in Lyme Regis, then such information can be described in the article (albeit reworded so copyright isn't violated). My view is that it might also be possible to have an external link to a site which describes daily surfing conditions, though only if that site doesn't contravene the principles outlined at WP:ELNO. Please note however that I am not an expert on every Wikipedia policy, so you might also like to ask at the help desk or the tea house. Thanks. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 20:31, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
