Talk:Wellie Wanging

"welly wanging" comes up with more Google matches than "wellie wanging". Do you know which is more commonly used in Real Life...? -- Oliver P. 04:34 Mar 4, 2003 (UTC)

I went with 'wellie wanging' because that's how the people at the Yorkshire Games (see link) spell it. And they're definite authorities in the matter, I'm sure. Birchtree


 * Okay. I've made redirects, though. (Do you think I'm taking this too seriously...? ;) -- Oliver P. 06:02 Mar 4, 2003 (UTC)

Not as seriously as some. ;) Birchtree 06:08 Mar 4, 2003 (UTC)

Forgive a clueless question, but is the second "w" really capitalized? -- Zoe

You know, she's got a point; it does look odd... Birchtree, do you know of any other reference works which mention this esteemed sport? Does it get a write-up in Britannica, perchance? ;) -- Oliver P. 07:45 Mar 4, 2003 (UTC)

Well, Oliver and Zoe, I don't have the W volume of Britannica to hand unfortunately, but having just checked the entry for American football, it has a redirect from American Football; I've similarly set up Wellie Wanging to do the same. Isn't that great? :) Birchtree 20:49 Mar 4, 2003 (UTC)
