[edit] Sport

Is the advertising for players (The Mote cricket club) allowed in an encyclopedia entry?

[edit] Schools

Why is there an edit that has changed Maidstone Girls' Grammar to Invicta Girls' Grammar? Is MGGS not the original Girls' Grammar school in the town? There's maybe a great deal of merit including both schools, if we are going to list important seats of learning in Maidstone. After all, both Boys' Grammars are listed. I'm going to add MGGS to the list. Darren Rowe 20:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maidstone pronounciation

The correct way to pronounce Maidstone is Maidsten. This is not due to accent. Check these links: http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/world/A0831238.html

Another example is Holborn in London which is pronounced "hoe-burn" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holborn

Nonsense, there is no particular way to say it. I personally live nearby and say maid-stone. I've removed this from the article because it is a load of tosh! 88.109.249.70 22:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah it's nonsense. It just depends where you come from, I personally say maidSTONE as well. But I'm not going to get drawn into a long debate about something so whimsical (You can tell the person who so vehemently reverts anyone who dares to disagree has a huge chip on his/her shoulder). 109.109.249.70 13:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Folkstone

Is this town not pronounced the same way? Folk-STEN not Folk-STONE.


Oh come on now, that's ludicrous. Just because one town is said a certain way, should we apply that rule to all towns? Please can you sign your comments as well. 88.111.110.26 17:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Vote to change pronounciation to Mægthan stan, because apparently pronounciations can't change over time :p --iamajpeg 22:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
There's no timeframe in this, I don't know why you threw that argument in. I say it is maid-stone too, sorry. JD UK 21:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, it didn't come over quite as intended. Oh well. --iamajpeg 22:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
