I removed a few items that were recently added to the article. First of all the article is focused on the town or the area known as Antigonish, Nova Scotia. St. Andrews Consolidated School is located in St. Andrews, Nova Scotia. This school would belong in the Antigonish County article. Secondly, the description of Antigonish as a "pro-life community" (though it may be accurate) seems like it belongs more in the realm of opinion and it doesn't really fit into a history section. perhaps a new section could be made that would deal with the social leanings of the community. -- BoyoJonesJr 17:22, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's not. There is a "pro-life" business on Main st., but it is somewhat new and definitely does not reflect the opinions of the population at large. --Jon Sangster 11:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)Antigonish as a "pro-life community" (though it may be accurate)
I added a new section that describes the annexation/amalgamation issue. --BoyoJonesJr 16:23, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Did 70.68.172.103 remove The Trews just to get back at me??--BoyoJonesJr 18:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't understand by BoyoJones removed the print source "Historic Antigonish" under the History section.
- 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)
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.

In the "gonish" part the emphasis is on "nish". --Jon Sangster 12:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- 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)
Antigonish: pronounce an-eh-gah-nish (never pronounce the "t")
Jeff Smith: "Originally from New Glasgow" - WTF?
