Talk:Guy of Gisbourne

Spelling?
The webpage of this article is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_of_Gisburne" But the title of the page is "Guy of Gisbourne"

Why is there a spelling discrepency? 210.246.36.130 (talk) 06:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The spelling varies from story to story. When the original ballad is printed, the spelling is usually Gisborne (Gysborne in the actual text). My preference for the article's name would be Gisborne. Gisbourne is the spelling used in the 1938 film, where it is pronounced to rhyme with the Australian city Melbourne. Gisburne is the spelling used in Robin of Sherwood, and closest to the spelling of actual places with that name.--Puckrobin (talk) 18:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Location of Gisborne
Two things, I'm not sure how a village near Lancaster can be in the North East of England. I'm changing to North West, unless there are any objections. Also, there is a village in existence about twenty miles from Lancaster called "Gisburn", though this could just be a coincidence. Holydave (talk) 19:54, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite agree. The article currently has this:
 * "Gisborne is a village in northwest England near Lancaster, roughly 100 miles from the middle of old Sherwood Forest."
 * But not only is there no mention of that spelling in the village article, there is no mention of Guy of Gisbourne either. Neither is there any further explanation of a connection in this article. So, as it stands, it's just misleadung {{WP:OR]] and should be removed, pending some hard evidence supporting a real connection. 109.153.210.148 (talk) 19:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Fringe theories
There could be some fringe theory pushing going on with some recent edits. PatGallacher (talk) 22:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

And which ones are those? Most recent edits cleared up the fringe theory regarding the Epona angle etc. 86.154.187.189 (talk) 19:24, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
