Talk:Pall Mall, London

[Untitled]
Shouldn't this just be at Pall Mall? I think the fact that the other Pall Malls haven't got articles shows which one is the most famous... Proteus (Talk) 00:17, 7 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Well, I only just wrote this article, so that argument is a bit flawed. I intend to write articles for some of the others, at least pall mall.  If you want to shuffle them around you can, I decided to do it this way because of a google search for "pall mall" got me (in the top 10) a whole selection of meanings (the street in London, the cigaratte brand, Pall Mall Gazette, the game, a font, a place in Texas).  fabiform | talk 00:23, 7 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Oh right, okay. I just looked at the disambig page and saw only one blue link, and thought it was a bit strange that it was disambiguated. Proteus (Talk) 09:14, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

FP???
So tell me... HOW does this very toffy, very detailed article get away with ONE reference and **NO** 's ? But then you know- How does a tiny 'unrated' article such as get a link into from a FrontPage-ed article- An' FP'd on a very important international workers' holiday, an' the weather cold so you stay indoors with the internets? And then this FP-er clips onto into you and sends you... here? I'll tell you how it's done. Blatant ANGLO-CENTRISME. & it's all over WP. Just saying. Well you can see, that's the way things is.

IPA
Is the pronunciation at the top of the page in IPA? On the IPA for English page, it doesn't seem that there's an 'au' combination - wouldn't ɔː be more accurate? pɔːl mɔːl... although I'm not really sure how it's pronounced so I can't give a proper transcription.

Shouldn't it be /pæl mæl/? 82.24.183.194 (talk) 13:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Content dispute
As there's a bit of a content dispute going on, I've semi-protected the page for a week. I accept I was kind of WP:INVOLVED, so anyone is free to go to WP:RPP and ask for unprotection from a neutral administrator. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  23:39, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Are administrators supposed to edit war and then stop any IP correcting their poor edits? I think not, the administrator who did this is a disgrace. 94.196.211.94 (talk) 13:10, 25 March 2016 (UTC) And for your information, I have roamed around Wikipedia for years and never been involved with edit wars or administrators. You asked where I lived. I live in a house on a road, my residence is the house not the road. 94.196.211.94 (talk) 13:17, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Well are you going to revert your edit or shall I? 92.40.33.185 (talk) 14:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Monopoly
I just saw this article was promoted to GA, and having a look at it, I'm surprised Monopoly only gets a on sentence mention - I would have thought that this was a much bigger part of Pall Mall's fame. Can we include some commentary about this? I know this isn't a great source, but I see this claim in the Daily Mirror: "Pall Mall has unshackled itself from the lowly chains of being a Pink property, and would now be a Green property." At the very least we should say what colour group the street is in. StAnselm (talk) 02:30, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I've added the colour group, as that is verifiable, and dropped in a source similar to yours (though not with a reputation for being a tabloid) but surprisingly there is little other mention of the street's association with Monopoly in reliable sources. There is this Daily Telegraph report that documents house price rises, but Pall Mall is not mentioned among them. Tim Moore's "Do Not Pass Go" documents several reasons for choosing the particular squares by Waddington's Victor Watson and Marjorie Phillips (compare and contrast this article with The Angel, Islington, which has an entire paragraph dedicated to Monopoly, but only because there is the coverage in sources for it), but there doesn't seem to be much about Pall Mall other than the clubs and cigarette manufacturers.
