Talk:St Andrews

message: ===Description===
This article would cover all Fife-related articles such as places, famous people, museums, football and rugby clubs and churches to name a few. Examples would be: Kirkcaldy, Andrew Carnegie, Adam Smith, Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline Athletic, The Old Course and Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery. This could also help support articles that really do need a lot of work while keeping general maintenance. Examples would be: Methil, Dunfermline, Cupar and a lot of the smaller towns such as Kennoway and Lower Largo. Please see the discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Wikiproject_WikiProject_Fife.

replies: text: Wait, why Hamilton? Is it just the R&A conection? After all - it was a student hall of residence, and if Melville isn't acceptable because it is one...seems contradictory to me! Scanna 22:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I should think Hamilton is notable because it is something of a landmark building in St Andrews. Similarly, Andrew Melville is architecturally interesting, though whether that means it warrants a mention is open to debate. It is not because they are halls of residence that makes them notable or non-notable. Rlfb 19:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Anything about the municipal government? Local media? Who paves the roads?
: Fife council; there's a student radio service called STAR FM, a local paper called the Citizen, and a student paper called the saint [they're mentioned in at least one other article, along with the shut-down Chiuauah [sic]]; and Fife council again. Scanna 22:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: My first reaction to this new section was to delete it, but then realised that this is perhaps relevant to the page, but not in its current format. I've done some work to it, but it could be a lot better. For a good example, see the relevent section on Edinburgh's page. Rlfb 18:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that the Scots name Sanct Androis is archaic; nobody would call it that now. On the Scots Wikipedia it is called Saunt Andras. However, I do think that it's interesting and could perhaps be kept like the obsolete Gaelic name. Scroggie (talk) 14:08, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Gaelic name isn't obsolete; it's used by Gaelic speakers...

message: The pope at the time of the founding of the university was Pope Gregory XII, not Benedict VIII as you list (His papacy was during the 11th Century)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.141.79 (talk) 15:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a sentence in the landmarks section that says that St Andrews was once bounded by 3 "gaits" the only surviving one being the West Port. I can't check the reference but the Scots word "gait" means street (now more often spelt "gate" in modern Scots) not English "gate". The word for gate is "port". This can be seen on the plaque on the pavement on Market St, marking the site of the old "Marketgait Port", ie "Market Street Gate". I don't want to change it when I can't check the reference (but see DSL third entry for Gate,n.). Also, it says that the West Port is the only surviving example "of its type", what is "its type"?
