Talk:Penobscot River

Maine Rivers
The St. John is a Maine river of 418 miles making it 68 miles longer then the Penobscot. I see the Penobscot as the second longest river in Maine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.55.194.251 (talk) 04:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit.  I'll make that change, but be aware that you could have made it yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GRBerry (talk • contribs) 18:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The Ancient Penobscot, or Panawanskek (Original article)
The long standing link to the 1872 article The Ancient Penobscot, or Panawanskek by John E. Godfrey has been restored. This originally linked page (which has been in place since September 19, 2006) is a verbatim transcription made directly from the article as originally published in The HISTORICAL MAGAZINE and Notes and Queries concerning The Antiquities, History, and Biography of America. (Third Series, Vol. I, No. II; Whole Number, Vol. XXI, No. II) February, 1872. (Morrisina, N.Y., Henry B. Dawson) pp. 85-92 to which was then added a number of illustrations, many annotations, and links to various maps and many other sources of related information located on third party websites. The recently substituted link, on the other hand, is to a 502-page pdf of a volume of unsourced printed transcriptions in an 1876 anthology of materials collected and republished by the Maine Historical Society which includes only the raw text of the Godfrey article, but none of the illustrations, maps, and links to third party sites included in the page linked to the article in 2006. Further substitution of the unverified, unsourced 1876 transcription for the 1872 original (with annotations and illustrations) will be considered to be disruptive editing and treated as such.

Pronunciation
The pronunciation given in the lead section of the article has the final vowel as \ə\. In these two videos containing interviews with members of the Penobscot nation, the final vowel is pronounced as \ɒ\.

Also, CBS Evening News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh9BMPKcqDY&t=6

Is there a source for the current pronunciation? Otherwise, I propose that the pronunciation be changed.
