[edit] Proununciation?

Could someone please add a pronunciation guide for the name of this city? --LostLeviathan 22:26, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

It starts with a sound like a y then there is an a as in cat followed by a sound like kill. I have no idea how to express that in pronounciation language, SqueakBox 22:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Please consider this vocalization based on the American-English language: GUA-YA-QUIL

"GUA" as in "WA"shington (Washington)

"YA" as in de"JA"-vu (deja-vu)

"QUIL" as in in "kill" (kill)

then, you can read it as: WA-JA-KILL

I hope this helped. W.E.R.S. nov-28-2006

Why does it pronunciated "WAYAKILL", why not "KWAYAKILL" like other Spanish gua- words? 202.57.146.225

What you mean like Kwatemala (lol), SqueakBox 17:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "References" and "External Links"

I did just move two links which i was sure of to be more logically placed in "External Links" than "References". Some of the other links i think maybe better in external links than references, but i'm not sure. perhaps the original editors could give advice about the original intentions?

Links in question:

and the following links i feel do not really provide any noteworthy informationeht therefor i think they should be deleted, anyone any opinion about that?

[edit] "The past year"

The reference to "the past year" should be changed to the specific year. Erudil 23:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Schools

I don't think that a Study abroad learning center can count as a higher education institute. Therefore Blue Hill College should be eliminated from the article
