Pronunciation
It's [tʃɛlt.ən.əm]: three syllables, not two. Even that would probably be considered a slack/casual pronunciation; I've heard [tʃɛlt.ən.həm] and even [tʃɛlt.ən.hæm]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.53.241 (talk) 14:15, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- No, definitely two syllables. At most.
Three syllables is the correct pronunciation as dictated by the rules of language language. There are three clearly defined syllables and this is the correct prounounciation.

Council control
The control of Cheltenham Borough Council is given as NOC, but it's actually a majority Lib Dem administration now. Since the elections in May 2010, the composition has been LD 25, Con 12, People Against Bureaucracy (PAB) 3. The leader is Cllr. Steve Jordan. I'm not technically adept enough to edit this as it isn't simple text so I'll leave that to someone more competent!

Automated Peer Review
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.[?]- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 5 km, use 5 km, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 5 km.[?] - Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km2, and pounds -> lb.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.[?] Specifically, an example is 13.5 km.
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.[?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
