Talk:Bearsden

message: I have never heard Bearsden being pronounced BERS-den, maybe once on Jackanory as beersdn, my how we laughed.
:I would say it's pronounced as in "bears' den". I'm not sure what "BERS-den" means exactly.  Bovlb 23:09, 2005 Feb 6 (UTC)
::"BERS-den" is the correct form of pronunciation as documented by many sources such as the Columbia Gazetteer of the World. It highlights the emphasis on the first part of the word. However, I agree that "BEARS-den" is more accurate, and suggest you change it to this rather than "bears' den", which could be confusing, being split into two words. mat334 | talk 01:11, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
:::I lived in Bearsden for many years and it is either pronounced with even emphasis on both syllables or the emphasis is on the second syllable. Only those who are speaking derisively place the emphasis on the first syllable. Nfras 03:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I live in Bearsden and the correct pronunciation is most definitely "bears' den". I have never heard this "BERS-den" being used by a resident of the area, nor anyone else. There is no emphasis placed on either syllable.

thread_title: Pronunciation

message: I am not sure that section is appropriately encyclopedic.  It's three individual things that are of dubious importance/notability (only one even claims a book about it), and it seems more like an entry for a travel guide than an encyclopedia anyway.  Is this section really appropriate?  FrozenPurpleCube 22:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Things to do Section 

message: We cannot cite the pronunciation of Bearsden from a blog forum.  Citing things from blogs is exactly the kind of thing that gives Wikipedia a bad name.  Anyone of any and no expertise can post anything on such websites.   And apart from anything else, from my experience, Bearsden can be pronounced in different ways by difference people, with the stress on first, second or even both syllables.  However, "my experience" is just as notable as those of some guy replying to a blog; i.e. not at all. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation

message: The Westerton article is very short, and many items of relevence to Westerton are found on this page. The Westerton article requires extensive copy editing and contains unverified facts. I propose to merge that article with the Neighbourhoods section of the Bearsden article on or after 31st May 2010. Wikiwayman (talk) 11:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Westerton, East Dunbartonshire is scarcely worth an article and half of it could be removed. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 11:40, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge [[Westerton, East Dunbartonshire]] page into Neighbourhoods section

message: An IP user attempted to add some information about this to the article. Unfortunately the contribution wasn't encyclopedic and was justifiably deleted. Nevertheless, the orchestra has a long history, is a registered charity and looking that their website, some information could be incorporated into the article to accurately reflect the leisure interests of Bearsden residents. If anyone would like help to do this properly, please contact me on my talk page. Wikiwayman (talk) 12:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bearsden & Milngavie Youth Orchestra 

message: Perhaps the history of sports and leisure section would be better merged into the leisure activities section?RafikiSykes (talk) 12:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: AGREE; the section was really just about the amateur football and golf club, when I moved and merged the section, the article seemed more coherent. Wikiwayman (talk) 19:39, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
