Intro and pictures

I edited the intro to trim some " peacock words" and promotional text. I don't know how a beach can be "elegant", for example.

A lot of new pictures have been added. Maybe too many? Some might be better placed in other articles or in the Wikicommons, which has a whole gallery of Malibu photos. commons:Category:Malibu, California. We should avoid repetitive or uninformative pictures, and avoid using them just because we have them. We can also set up an small gallery in the article, at the end.   Will Beback  talk  09:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC) reply

I live there over 25 years so I can help edit photos. Thanks. Ericmalibu 14:38, 14 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Climate box

The climate box was updated on April 8th, 2021. Can anyone shed light on why this data is so vastly different than the previous climate box? (e.g. summer significantly hotter). Was the old box incorrect?

Changes to Malibu Road Markers ask question of editor

@ Fettlemap: Hi Fettlemap. I agree the fun facts are not appropriate. But how about if we let the specific marker locations stay in the paragraph? Thanks. Ericmalibu 20:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC) reply

These are details that mean nothing to the general reader. Not appropriate for Wikipedia Fettlemap ( talk) 20:34, 15 August 2020 (UTC) reply

Discuss Add Surfer and Celebrity History

Hello Wikipedians. I live in Malibu and it has a rich history of surfing and celebrity lifestyle. How should this be added to the page? In separate sections or culture? Thank you Ericmalibu 12:08, 11 September 2020 (UTC) reply

The article already has lots of content on surfing and celebrities including List of people from Malibu, California. Content supported by reliable sources could be added to Culture section but definitely does not need a new section. Any added content should succinct and clearly related to Malibu rather than general information. Some existing content may need to be altered to integrate new content.

Remember, no original research. You mentioned history of surfing and celebrity lifestyle so anything notable can go in the History section. Otherwise an on-going characteristic could be in the Culture section. Anything trivial will be deleted. Fettlemap ( talk) 03:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC) reply
