Considering there are two fairly common was to pronounce the word can someone update this bit, perhaps making which is official. Not that I can seem to find much about it online - SimonLyall 13:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
From all my time living in Taupo and staying on Marae, I have only been instructed on the single pronounciation (as it appears currently). - Seriocomic 23:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Until recently the normal pronunciation was tau-po. Then the PC brigade decided that was incorrect and gave us something it never was. Half the road signs have been changed so we have a bit of a dogs breakfast - neither one thing or another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.216.214 ( talk) 22:46, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
[1] there a photos on the Lake Taupo article if you want a photo of the lake, or is it a photo of the township area wanted? Brian | (Talk) 22:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I note that separate articles are being generated for each suburb of Taupo. However, it seems unlikely that they are ever likely to move beyond sub-stubs - unless they are fille with inane stuff like "there is a primary school, playcentre and 2 dairies". I think that there is a case for articles for some suburbs of larger cities where there is a reasonable history (for example Riccarton in Christchurch which was a separate Brorough until 1989), but Taupo is very young (population c. 1000 in the 1940's) and there is little history for individual suburbs that is verifiable or noteworthy. The section on suburbs in this article could well be expanded to carry any additional relevant information. dramatic 00:05, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Well i created all of those articles on the suberbs of taupo and it took a lot of work i am for maybe merging it with the taupo article but i deffenintly dont it to be deleted because a little infomation is better than nothing -- Kiwiclipart 08:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
What is up with all the differant suburbs? Kind of looks like it has been divided up by a real estate agent. Acacia Bay, Nukuhau, Central, Tauhara, Hilltop, Richmond Heights, Rainbow Point and Wharewaka should really cover it. Phantom kiwi ( talk) 09:19, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I live close by the Botanical Gardens and have never heard of the area being referred to as Gradwell. Sounds like somebodys wish. 222.152.216.214 ( talk) -- 222.152.216.214 ( talk) 22:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Taupo is the location of the most recent supervolcano eruption (26,000 years ago.) JAF1970 18:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I gather from the earlier discussion that it used to be /ˈtaʊpoʊ/ ("TAU-poe") but is now usually /ˈtoʊpɔː/ ("TOE-paw"). Currently we have [ˈtoʊ.pʊər] ("TOE-poor"), which doesn't look right - there's no <r> in Taupo. If "TOE-paw" is what we want to go with, the IPA should be /ˈtoʊpɔː/.
