Talk:Lost Gardens of Heligan

Untitled
This should be moved to The Lost Gardens of Heligan. The 'the' is part of the name, and so cannot be left out. - Kwekubo


 * I checked this out before moving, looked like it was common to use without "the". We don't always have to use the fullest formal title imaginable, for instance the article is at United States not the official name United States of America. Stan 23:42, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * Catchy media title considering the gardens were planted, managed, overgrown/neglected and later restored ... Heligen Gardens would be appropriate, would it not? --81.178.226.217 (talk) 20:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Image moved to commons
Hi, I had altered the image link because if you go to the image page, the link to this page is in red. I do not quite understand how to link between the commons and Wikipedia - could you fix the link, or show me how? Thanks, Marky1981 10:03, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Mud Maid
The Mud Maid sculpture should be credited to "Sue and Peter Hill", not to Susan Hill.John Gibbens 15:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Below is a copy of what I left on User:Johngibbens talk page:


 * Hi, you left the following on my talk page:


 * The photograph of the Mud Maid at Heligan was taken by me. Why have you claimed it for your own?


 * I am assuming you are talking about the image at Image:TheLostGardensOfHeligan-MudMaid.JPG. This photograph was taken by me on 11th August 2004 and uploaded to Wikipedia on 26th March 2005. Someone then moved/copied it to Wikimedia sometime later. I am not sure why you think this is your photo, however I will act in good faith and assume this is a misunderstanding. The page clearly shows I uploaded it. If you still dispute that it is mine, I still have the original digital photo on my laptop, along with many others from Heligan and Cornwall taken at the same time. The photo in question is actually cropped, and I have the original uncropped one. Marky1981 15:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * When innumerably people take photos of public landmarks, it's inevitable that some will look essentially identical.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  03:29, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

No pineapple pit page?!
I can't believe it - nobody has made a page on the pineapple pit! I will set about one when I get a chance.... It seems like a wonderful piece of redundant Victorian technology that should be preserved for people to understand on wikipedia... If anyone has a chance before I do, please have a go at making one (page that is, not pit). --Tomhannen 21:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

"Lost"
Some explanation of this element of the name needs to be given, since they are not lost and never seem to have been. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  03:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The article uses this spelling of the supposedly correct pronunciation: 'h'LIG'n'. I don't know what this is supposed to represent. Are there schwas between the H and the L, and between the G and the N? Or are the apostrophes supposed to represent glottal stops? Is the central vowel /i/, /ɪ/ or /aɪ/? Would someone who knows what is intended please add the IPA for this? CodeTalker (talk) 18:58, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Wiktionary has [hɛˈlɪkɛn] for Revived Middle Cornish (helygen). On the other hand on http://heligan.com/videos/P25/ the sculptor says it the usual way at 37 seconds. Siuenti (talk) 21:32, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
