Talk:Watchet

Some text has ended up next to the picture. I think that this looks strange but do not know how to change it. Would someone with more knowledge than me move this to join up with the rest of the article? Thank you Britmax 18:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)


 * That placement is actually standard in wikipedia style. - PKM 17:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. But to me they don't work very well here; those six words still look isolated and my tendency is to start reading the article under the picture. Britmax 11:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violation
This edit by an anonymous user was adding text cut and pasted from here, which is completely not cool, so I've removed it. Please don't be tempted to re-add it, though there's nothing wrong with using it as source material to expand the article. --Dtcdthingy 14:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Ancient Mariner
That the Anicent Mariner set sail from Watchet — source? Njál 01:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There seems to be a couple of schools of thought on it - one site, the linda scott gallery in Watchet, states that the ancient mariner set sail from watchet, but other sources (academic sources based on the wording) believe it set sail from Scotland. However, all sources believe that Watchet was an influence on the poem when it was written.-Localzuk(talk) 11:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Category: Ports and harbours of Somerset
I noticed that Category:Ports and harbours of Somerset has been removed from this article and I wondered why?&mdash; Rod talk 17:11, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Stuck it on the redirect from Watchet harbour. I think that could usefully split, mostly to mop up the historical stuff that doesn't fit into a contemporary article on Watchet as a town. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I would have waited until there was some content on the harbour article - if it is felt there is need for a separate article. I think the history is useful to give context to the article about the town - unless someone is going to add so much content that it would overwhelm the rest of the content.&mdash; Rod talk 07:37, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation
How is this pronounced? "Watch it"? 93.136.117.148 (talk) 19:46, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Near enough. Bit more "watch-et" or "watch-ut" than "watch-it" Andy Dingley (talk) 20:46, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
