Talk:Elgin, Moray

message: note that Elgin is not generally considered a city (except possibly by its inhabitants).
:But it is
::thatll be news to the football team then Elgin CITY!!! football club as the SFA officially knows them. just looked at the scottish tourist information site - "city of Elgin" it calls it.
Please note that Elgin falls within common Scottish ideas that if a town contains a church with two spires, then it may be called a city. The- although crumbling cathedral allows for this verification for Elgin city. As for the inhabitants- we all thought it was more of a town when I was born and raised there until it has become much larger today  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.104.126 (talk) 11:46, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

message: The Notable citizens section of the article is IMO getting over-big and is way to dense to be comfortable reading. Can I recommend the following changes be made / principles folloed:
*If they're notable enough to be listed, they're notable to have their own article. Several articles could be spawned from the present text.
*Provide single line descriptions only; two sentences at maxiumum. The Archbishop is the current archbishop of Glasgow. We do not need the full life history here: there's a separate article on the man if we want the whole nine yards.
The article is abot Elgin. 25% of the text of the article is dedicated to descriptions of people, not Elgin. The people should be described within their own articles, not here.
I may come back & implement the above, but thought I'd put it up for discussion first. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable citizens section bloat

message: In the film "Brave", the actor Kevin McKidd, from Elgin, uses a dialect or language from this area, that's uninteligible to persons that understand only english. Could someone, please, write something about it or give a link to an article about that language? Thank you. 95.93.142.130 (talk) 01:57, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: McKidd was using the Scots language but deliberately tried to make it unintelligible by speaking very quickly.  Anyone from the NE of Scotland would still have understood though. Bill Reid | (talk) 10:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Looking at the temperature chart, I should this it gets bone-chilling cold in winter!  Are you certain that "mild" is the word?  Was this article written by a Siberian?  (EnochBethany (talk) 04:39, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

message: My suggestion. Thx
Add text to describe and highlight the Plainstones. Add hyperlink.
A more spacious market area for traders was created when the Plainstones were laid out in 1787. However, it wasn’t until 1851 that, with the building of the New Market, traders had the benefit of a covered market.
