Pronunciation from wiktionary. kwami (talk) 09:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(one of the rare real words which rhymes with orange! hooray !) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.128.93.23 (talk) 09:26, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture?[edit]

Anyone likely to object if I remove the 'Blorenge in popular culture' section? It's really just trivia - if each reference on TV to questions about places were added, this article - and countless other articles - would become overinflated with material which doesn't add to our knowledge of the place - and to whose benefit? cheers Geopersona (talk) 07:58, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content for guidelines. Geopersona (talk) 08:03, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'd certainly keep it - although quite possibly reduced or even renamed. I think it's important to keep the "orange" note, and this needs referencing (maybe QI). However the gameshow uses of "orange / blorenge" are too much about the shows (not notable) and too little about the rhyme. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:23, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the rhyme is of some significance (and incidentally the various 'Disgwylfa's' around Wales - and Shropshire's 'Squilver' - provide rare rhymes for 'silver') though am unsure that any great poetry has arisen from this fact! cheers Geopersona (talk) 08:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why 'The'?[edit]

I'd suggest the page be relocated to simply 'Blorenge' with a nod to the fact in the lead that it is also frequently informally referred to as 'The Blorenge'. It does not appear as 'The Blorenge' on any Ordnance Survey map, anymore than neighbouring hills appear as 'The Sugar Loaf' or 'The Skirrid'. cheers Geopersona (talk) 12:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and moved the page to 'Blorenge' in line with general WP practice which deplores 'the' in article titles except in special circumstances - this is not one of those circumstances. (See The Cairnwell in Scotland as one of these where the name is shown by OS with 'The' as a part of it.) This South Wales mountain is named by Ordnance Survey simply as 'Blorenge'. The common practice of adding 'the' is well-attested and this is reflected in the alternative name - 'The Blorenge' - offered up in the article lead. cheers Geopersona (talk) 09:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suitable image[edit]

For a fine hill, we don't yet possess a good photo from it. Might someone who knows their way around adding images find an appropriate one? cheers Geopersona (talk) 11:16, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Until a better one appears, there is another suitable one of it (rather than from it) at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4164430 cheers Geopersona (talk) 11:48, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And there's one from the hill at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4164477 cheers Geopersona (talk) 12:15, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The images are now uploaded to Commons at [1] and [2] Bikeroo (talk) 14:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
