Pronunciation As a non-native speaker I'm missing the pronunciation of "Nuneaton" in this article

It's pronounced exactly as it's spelled: as "Nun-eat-on". (As opposed to, um, Noon-aton or something similarly odd.) DWaterson 12:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nuneaton’s most historical figure??

Maybe someone more au fait with Nuneaton can comment on the following, which I have just removed from the main article, and if true maybe readd it with references? Ianb 17:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the 17th June 2001 the Weekly Tribune (A free local newspaper) sponsored a competition to find Nuneaton’s most historical figure. Winning the poll by a huge margin, Daniel Adam Lee reigned victorious. Daniel was a long term Jock Itch sufferer, making him a social outcast for many years. He joined the Nuneaton fire service to try and regain some confidence around people.

In a devastating fire, which engulfed the main building of a local school, Daniel Unfortunately lost both his legs when the building collapsed. Leaving him even more disabled then he already was, he was forced to retire from the fire service. In 1999 he helped co-found a charity shop with Dean Powell. This gave him a lot of public recognition, which helped him in his rise to Nuneaton’s most historical figure. A statue was shortly erected in the town centre, which shows Daniel Pointing directly towards magnetic north.

As someone from Nuneaton I can definitely say He wasn't a famous nuneaton figure. Looks like someone poking fun at Nuneaton, eg. the jock itch condition and the becoming a famous figure by starting a charity shop (lack of decent shops - there are a large no. of charity shops in Nuneaton)

The notable inhabitants is pretty accurate. NO such person as Daniel Adam Lee. Richardjames444 16:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Districts and suburbs of Nuneaton

This lists Coton but should it be Chilvers Coton or is that a different area?

Small settlement by a river

Etone translates literally as "water-town", this is what I have ammended the article to. Whilst this should probably be interpreted as "small settlement by a river", it is not the place of a neutral encyclopedia to make such assertions. Such a literal translation is also valuable as it is not immediately obvious to a non-specialist reader, but once given allows them to draw their own conclusions as to its precise interpretation (which is anyway quite obvious).

Why is there no mention of Nuneaton's breathtaking dandelion fountain, the second most impressive in the world, according to some sources?
