Talk:Hastings Pier

Campaign website

The article reads more like a website for the Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust, I appreciate the efforts being made to save the pier but the article lacks balanced and referenced information and probably does not present a neutral point-of-view. Probably worth having a clean-up to better balance the text and remove some of the promotional stuff that is not relevant to the Pier. Perhaps if the Trust is that notable most of the information could be moved into an article on the Trust. Any comments? MilborneOne (talk) 22:19, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

October 2010 Fire

Incredibly fast editing to cover the fire in 2010 - kudos Londonclanger! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.8.187 (talk) 07:27, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Can somebody please put this image in a way that doesn't mess up the page entirely?

Was or Is?

Should it be 'Hastings Pier WAS a pleasure pier', or 'Hastings Pier IS a pleasure pier'? Currently, at this time, the extent of the damage is not known. Deanybabeh (talk) 08:51, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Personally (i may be wrong about the definition of a pleasure pier, but i would think theres nothing pleasurable out of seeing rubble of a grand building. So I would nt object to saying 'was' until that is they announce what can be slavaged/ re-built. Basically though with the tag showing its a current event and rapidly changing was and is could beinterchangable based on findings. Others may disagree, but i think was is ok to use, but im not too familliar with the pier, or 'pleasure piers'. Ottawa4ever (talk) 11:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, have left as is for the time being. Deanybabeh (talk) 22:33, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Gallery

Have taken a lot of pictures of the fire damaged pier, showing detail etc. Can a gallery be added? Deanybabeh (talk) 00:49, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Other photos that people have of the pier prior to the fire could also be added? Deanybabeh (talk) 22:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I removed a whole host of external links from this article and posted a No More Links message. Where a link adds intrinsic value to the article it should be added, but please do not add droves of news reports from various national and international news services.

New photos?

Are there any photos of the re-opened pier, from 2017 or 2018 that can be contributed to the article? Since I read this article last time, these parts (several re-openings) had been added, but no photos how the pier looks like after being build up. Thank you. --212.8.208.204 (talk) 14:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

The photo in the infobox is from 2018 and presumably shows the current look. However, it is a view of the pier buildings from the pier itself, it would be good to also have a view of the pier from a distance. Verbcatcher (talk)

 Done – I have uploaded a suitable photo to Commons and added it. I did not put it in the infobox as long-and-thin pictures do not look good in infoboxes. Verbcatcher (talk) 19:19, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. --212.8.208.204 (talk) 10:08, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
