message: Under the festivals section someone has written 'Maitland also is home one of the fastest
hot-dog eaters in the world, Nathan Hick. Nathan Hick has won 3 of the last 4 world
tittles'(sic). I've actully done a bit of research into this and it can not possibly be true
because the man who was considered the world champion of hot dog eating for the past five years
running is Takeru Kobayashi of Japan. Visit his profile on the International Federation Of
Competitive Eating website (http://www.ifoce.com/eaters.php?action=detail&sn=22) for more info on
this champion athlete. 
I'm going to delete those lines. I know that people criticise Wikipedia because it's 
so easily vandalised and everything but i think today we should thank the vandals for bringing to
our attention the world of competitive eating and leading me to some quite amusing youtube videos -

replies: text: This is the main article for Maitland so content in this article should be relevant and notable. Groovin' the Moo is held at the Maitland showground so it's appropriate for this article. The Morpeth Jazz festival is a big festival that draws people from all around and outside of the area. It's notable so mention of it belongs here. The schools are listed under education, which is relevant to all of Maitland. Specific content about the schools is included in their own articles if they have them, not here. Your team is not notable enough to have its own article so the appropriate location for the content is the article where your home-ground is located, not duplicated here. --AussieLegend (talk) 13:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The article notes Sir George Maitland as the origin of the name, but this looks like it should perhaps be Sir Peregrine Maitland? From the same place in Hampshire and a veteran of the Peninsular War. (However, his service and political service seems to be mostly Canada, India and South Africa). He had a brother George, who died at approx age 1, so likely not him. Can anybody validate the reference? Ian TO (talk) 21:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
