Possible Copyright Violation / Plagiarism
[edit]After reading this article and checking the reference link to "Beach Balls: Facts and Trivia" (see the article, the site in question is also on the spam blacklist], I've noticed that the introduction is copied, albeit with minimal modification, from the aforementioned page. I believe that there is possible plagiarism.--Lykoped (talk) 17:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Jonathon DeLonge
[edit]This was introduced by a vandalous IP editor in 2005. I suspect the existing Time magazine reference cited this page in its creation. I see no reliable evidence that this person existed in the 1930s. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:57, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Beach ball's inventor
[edit]Every search for this "Jonathon DeLonge" only leads to that dubious Time page and the article here. I found another website that also states about DeLonge but I'm afraid it got the information either from Wikipedia or from the Time page. I found absolutely no other results for this person. Shouldn't it be deleted already? Gidev the Dood(Talk) 19:21, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
Worthwhile info?
[edit]Beach balls were used for special effects in the Lost In Space 1966 episode "The Golden Man", inflated by special effects as alien "landmines" emerging onto the surface from being buried. GBC (talk) 22:05, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
