replies: text: 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)

message: 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. 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 three syllables: "Anti" which is prounces like go, and "nish" is pronounced like the "nic" in technician). In the "gonish" part the emphasis is on "nish". --Jon Sangster 12:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 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)

message: Hi, I'm not Canadian, I just have some issue with the name origin. The article states "The name Antigonish is of Mi'kmaq origin".
I am however Irish, and I also noticed that a sign in the town features the phrase "Cead Mile Fáilte", which is Irish/Scots Gaelic for "One Hundred Thousand Welcomes".
I just find it incredibly hard to believe that a name as Irish sounding as Antigonish is of Mi'kmaq origin considering the town's links with Ireland and Scotland in particular, and that if 11,000 people still speak Mi'kmaq then why does no one know what Antigonish means?Milzo1986 (talk) 22:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Looking at the reader feedback, and my personal interest, I've noticed that this page lacks the Weather Averages that most Canadian towns, cities have. I have crawled around the web for some data, but to no avail. Does anyone out there have a link to this data? If so, they can post it here, and I can compile it into the table. Thanks! --Kylestewart98 (talk) 01:08, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
