@Commander Keane: Your audio is indeed incorrect, but now that it exists, it may get added to the entry by someone who doesn't know better (or a bot). Could you please replace the file with a correct recording? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 07:23, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Metaknowledge Could you provide a correct pronunciation, I don't understand IPA well. Is it 'she-town'?-Commander Keane (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Commander Keane: It is dangerous to record audio in a dialect that is not your own without being able to read IPA. I strongly recommend that you either restrict yourself to words that you use or hear in use, or else take some time to learn IPA (which is not very hard; a bit of time spent reading w:International Phonetic Alphabet and playing clips from this site should do the trick). As for this word, it is usually 'shy-town', at least when Chicagoans say it, and that it what the IPA we have here indicates. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:29, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Commander Keane: Reverting DerbethBot is a waste of time; it'll just add it back. You need to replace the audio file on Commons, or else request it be deleted. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
