Removed items

I removed a few items that were recently added to the article. First of all the article is focused on the town or the area known as Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

Did 70.68.172.103 remove The Trews just to get back at me??--BoyoJonesJr 18:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand by BoyoJones removed the print source "Historic Antigonish" under the History section.

I removed the note for two main reasons, 1. I don't think that there is any information in the history section that is from that particular book, and 2. if that book is indeed not a source, than the note sounds like more of an advertisment and that isn't what wikipedia is for. If the book is a source than wikipedia has a proper layout for footnotes. The external link that was added for that book is also inappriopriate for Wikipedia as it just links to a book selling website. Thanks for taking an interest in this article and I'd appriciate anything you can add to it.--BoyoJonesJr 00:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

I added an IPA pronounciation of Antigonish's name. I'm a native to this town and nearly all visitors couldn't pronounce it (not surprising of course), so I think having the town's pronounciation is important. Now, I'm still not a pro with IPA, so feel free to correct what I wrote. Basically, "Antigonish" is four syllables: the two in "Anti" (which is pronounced exactly like ante) and the two in "gonish" ("go" is pronounced exactly like [ I added an IPA pronounciation of Antigonish's name.

In the "gonish" part the emphasis is on "nish". --Jon Sangster 12:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does the last syllable have primary stress, then? The current pattern doesn't occur in English words, so I'll change it to "antigoNISH". kwami 19:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Antigonish: pronounce an-eh-gah-nish (never pronounce the "t")

List of notable people

This list seems pretty subjective and trivial to me; I think it ought to be removed. Any thoughts? Strobilus (talk) 17:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial indeed... it doesn't even mention me! 13:45, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
