[edit] Requested move
I think that this content should be at Blantyre, Scotland. Blantyre, Malawi is the larger city by a factor of 50 and has roughly the similar number of links to it. This page should be a disambiguation page, linking to both cities and to possible future pages on the district of Malawi (a first-level administrative division) and to Blantyre in Transylvania County, North Carolina.
- Support This is reasonable. However the move should be to Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, not to Blantyre, Scotland. -- Derek Ross | Talk 16:19, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'm changing the entry on requested moves to Blantyre, South Lanarkshire. -- Satyadasa 07:00, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 14:22, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm fairly sure that Christy Moore only sang this song; The Blantyre Explosion (Clyde's Bonnie Banks) is a traditional ballad. Russell 12:46, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Church Links
Is the church at the High Blantyre Cross the Old Parish Church?
[edit] Ronnie McCluskey
Journalist and philanthropist - anyone able to verify that - I've never heard of him, but a Google search reveals an amateur boxer from Blantyre with the same name???
BTW the Old Parish Church may be correct Ianguy 12:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Need for citations
As a contributor of part of this information, whilst it may be anecdotal, much is derived from me living my first 20 years there. However, certain aspects do not require formal attribution and can be crossed referenced readily (e.g. proximity to various rivers, places, etc., the mining disasters, David Livingstone, etc. Ianguy 01:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
