Talk:Conneaut, Ohio

more

Port Stanley, St. Thomas and London, were the stations on the London and Port Stanley Railway. Railway ferries used to carry coal hopper cars from Conneaut Ohio to Port Stanley, which then proceeded to London.

I created an alternate map, for the Port Stanley Terminal Railway. Geo Swan (talk) 06:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Fish Story?

The opening sentence of this article appends the following, with all due respect hyperbolic, assertion: "...Conneaut Creek ... is the number one steelhead trout stream in the country." The statement, in its present form and use, is not only unsupported (or even mentioned again) in this article and various related articles, but is actually unsupportable -- How will you define or quantify "number one steelhead trout stream in the country"? -- and needs to be either significantly modified & relocated elsewhere, or removed from the article entirely. As it stands, although there's no reason to doubt the sincerity or even the underlying relevance of the statement's intent, as a factual assertion it does not qualify as serious encyclopedic content, and -- I reiterate, this is meant respectfully -- smacks more of tourist advertising (a no-no on Wikipedia, at least when obvious) and resembles the kind of hit-and-run looking, misplaced/unsupported edits that routinely get flagged as "vandalism" in WP usage. It would be acceptable to mention -- probably well below the opening paragraph -- rainbow trout fishing on the Creek, among a variety of local activities & attractions for which Conneaut is noted. It might even have a proper place in the lede, if that is what Conneaut is indisputably best known for; but even if it is, which would be remarkable and need support, it would still need to be worded in a supportable, less superlative fashion. To all concerned: Does somebody wish to fix this by making it conform to standards? Or shall we just take it out? Thanks in advance for your attention...

Pronunciation

I'm from nearby (Erie, PA) and I find the listed pronunciation extremely unlikely. It has two rounded vowels in it that don't exist in my accent or the accent of anyone I know from around here. The first vowel should definitely be the unrounded open back vowel, and the second either somewhere between the open mid-back unrounded vowel and the near-close front unrounded vowel, or another unrounded open back vowel.

Sorry, but it is showing the correct pronunciation. 173.90.75.20 (talk) 04:36, 8 August 2020 (UTC) (And it is the same pronunciation as Conneaut Lake, PA.)
