I was writing an article for Ceibwr Bay on a stub page, when I discovered the long over due merger discusssion for the articles on the same village in Pembrokeshire, either called Moylgrove or Moylegrove. I suspect that the original spelling in Welsh was without the "e", but the spelling with the "e" now seems far, far more common.

A Google Books search gives far more results on Moylgrove (including both contemporary and historic sources) than Moylegrove. If Moylgrove is still used then go with this one.

As far as the "original" spelling goes, in either case it's a mangling of the Welsh moel combined with an English word, so neither is any more authentic in that regard.Svejk74 (talk) 12:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-02-08T12:38:00.000Z","author":"Svejk74","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Svejk74-2011-02-08T12:38:00.000Z-Trident13-2011-01-31T03:31:00.000Z","replies":["c-Cuchullain-2011-02-08T14:07:00.000Z-Svejk74-2011-02-08T12:38:00.000Z"]}}-->

There doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency on this. This page from "Visit Pembrokeshire", developed by the Pembrokeshire County Council, calls it "Moylgrove". One would think the county council would be informed about such things. However, the council's own web page tends to call it "Moylegrove".[1] Additionally, for what it's worth, though, this site evidently put together by local businessmen call it "Moylegrove", and it's "Moylegrove" on Google Maps (even if you type in "Moylgrove"). Just to keep it interesting, some sources use the form "Moyle Grove" as well. I'd say we should just pick whichever one appears to be more common, by however much, and redirect the other to it.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:07, 8 February 2011 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-02-08T14:07:00.000Z","author":"Cuchullain","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Cuchullain-2011-02-08T14:07:00.000Z-Svejk74-2011-02-08T12:38:00.000Z","replies":["c-Redrose64-2011-02-08T14:50:00.000Z-Cuchullain-2011-02-08T14:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"C\u00fachullain"}}-->

I don't think Malleus Fatuorum, the primary author of Cragh, would be anxious to see that on the main page, given the stresses he has had with recent TFAs. There might be just enough time to push through Pryce at WP:TFAR - it scores two points for time since promotion, but would need to find another point from somewhere to displace one of the current five articles nominated there. It won't be author history (as the main author has had a TFA) or "widely covered" (it has 19 interwiki links, 1 short of the 20 needed for a bonus point). If nominated for 5th March, it would gain a date relevance point (anniversary of death) but not for St David's Day (that's too tangential a link for TFA points purposes). If no similar article had appeared in the last three months, that would gain it a point, or if someone wrote a stub on Simple Wikipedia and linked it in the interwikis, that would gain a point.

I have been working on Portal:Wales, trying to bring it back to a state worthy of being called a featured portal. I think it's getting close. As part of my efforts, I have been looking for more recognised content that could be showcased by the portal. In particular, I was hoping to unearth more featured pictures of Wales; there seem to be very few indeed (just one?). One thing I did rediscover, however, was a number of good articles on works by Super Furry Animals, comprising one standalone GA and two featured topics with four and five GAs respectively:

• Mwng
• Rings Around the World ("Juxtapozed with U", "(Drawing) Rings Around the World", "It's Not the End of the World?")
• Phantom Power ("Golden Retriever", Slow Life, "Hello Sunshine", Phantom Phorce)

I was wondering whether the members of this project thought that these should be tagged with {{WikiProject Wales}} or not. It's not a field I often edit in, so I am unsure of the precedents. At the very least, I would think that Mwng would be a valid topic, as the best-selling Welsh-language album ever.

I copy here the message which I left on the talk page of the article:

Hello. I work this article for the french wikipedia, and I have a problem with certain references. The reference 19 and 56 ("Williams") refers to what book quoted in bibliography ? Idem for "Jackson" (refs 26, 50, 51, 57 and 59), and "Williams (1972)" (52, 53, 55). There are several books of these authors in bibliography, and for William, none of the 1972 (unless it is the first edition of that of the 1980?). Thank you, and sorry for my bad english.

Could you help me ? It's a Good Article.

This is an excellent point well raised. I have added the dates to all the cites where only a single book was present, but as Harmonia Amanda states Williams and Jackson can not be assumed due to multiple books. If anyone has just one of the books it will help cut down or solve most of the problems raised. Diolch.

Using the 1978 paperback of Jackson's 1969 work, I confirmed that all of the ambiguous Jackson references in the citations were references to the 1969 work, and modified the article accordingly.

I've hit a problem with a bit of disambiguation. It appears there are two Cwmavons. One is Cwmavon, Torfaen, while the other is the village of Cwmafan in Neath Port Talbot. In recent encyclopedias, Cwmafan NPT is called Cwmavon. Should the article be moved to its English name or does the town now call itself Cwmafan? It's a bit of a mess as the electoral ward that encompasses it is Bryn and Cwmavon. Though streetmap calls in Cwmafon. Advice please.

NPT council seem to use both versions. The Library is called Cwmafan. Residents' walking and action groups call themselves Cwmafan (same ref). The community centre is Cwmavon, as is the ward as you say. The Centre and schools are Cwmafan. The Welsh Academi Encyclopaedia has it as Cwmavon, but doesn't have an entry for Cwmavon, Torfaen. I would leave it as Cwmafan.

Are there any members of WP:WALES who would be interested in helping out with a new task force focused on Welsh football? The scope of the task force would include all Welsh players either born in Wales or to Welsh parents, as well as anyone who has played for a Welsh national team (any age group or women's football), or for a club in Wales and/or in the Welsh league system (so as to include Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham, Newport, Merthyr Tydfil, Colwyn Bay and The New Saints players). The clubs themselves would also be covered, as would the national teams and all the related football grounds. Finally, Welsh football competitions would also come under the task force's umbrella. The structure of the task force would be based on the successful task force model employed by WP:FOOTY, which would be the primary parent project for the task force. If I can get five people on board for this, I will create all the necessary pages and categories, and I will begin tagging article talk pages with assessment tags. I hope this will spark some interest in the project.

Hello, there may be more traditional welsh bands to go on List of Welsh bands article. Traditional music is actually a bit more widespread :). there are many folk/traditional festivals all across Wales during the summer. Celtic music in the United States and Celtic music in Canada seem to think that Welsh music is highly influential to them(welsh, irish and scottish), yet music of Wales page is deemed , low importance.

The article Principality of Wales currently has a hatnote stating: "This article is about the historical Principality (1216–1542). For the modern country, see Wales." I have suggested that, because the article mentions post-1542 usages of the term (which occurred in official legislation as well as in general parlance), the hatnote should be amended to include, at the end of the first sentence, words such as: "and later use of the term." Another editor disagrees. My view is that, whether post-medieval usage of the term is seen as an "error" or not, WP should reflect and provide information on the actual usage of the term "Principality of Wales", and that the hatnote should reflect that. Views are welcome at Talk:Principality of Wales#Article content and hatnote.

Dear All

I started MonmouthpediA, a project to create Wikipedia articles on interesting and notable places, people, artefacts, a flora and fauna guide etc in Monmouth and to display QR code using QRpedia where appropriate to deliver the articles to users, in their preferred language including Welsh. Articles will have geotagging to allow a virtual tour of the town using the Wikipedia layer on Google Streetview, Google Maps and will be available in augmented reality software including Layar. MonmouthpediA may not use standard black and white QR codes to differentiate between MonmouthpediA codes and other schemes and individual's codes. It will be the first QRpedia project cover a whole town including outside.

If you are interested in it, head over to WP:GLAM/MonmouthpediA

I'm steadily working through the churches on Anglesey that have listed building status, and wondered whether there was anyone reading this who could help with photos. Nearly all the listed churches are represented at commons (commons:Category:Churches in Anglesey) but there are three that are missing: St Trygarn's Church, Llandrygarn; St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch; and St Morhaiarn's Church, Gwalchmai. Does anyone have photos of these, or does anyone live close enough to get some? I've checked Geograph, but they aren't on there.

Complete wiki newbie here so do be gentle, posting here because I linked to it from the Welsh Actors page. It occured to me as I looked for a Welsh Actor on the Wiki Welsh Actors page that I was searching for an ACTOR not an ACTRESS! So why are there females in the Welsh actors wiki page? Also Why is the parent directory "Welsh actors" got 95 entries and its Subcategories such as Welsh Film Actors has 132 entries & subcategory Welsh TV actors has 182 entries??? Surely the parent directory should include all the names from all the subcategories....!

Wikipedia doesn't go for the male/female job title, so actors are both male and female, there is also no category for poetess, giantess, etc. The subcategories are also members of its parent category. Therefore if you look for Category:Welsh people, there are very few in there as they should be categorised in the cleaner subdirectories. Hope that helps.

I notice some of the articles listed as 'new' on the Project page are over 2 years old. Should the list be reviewed to remove articles from the list that are more than a certain age? ...say 12 months??

Ah, I see Fruitmonkey removed several articles in January 2011 that were more than 12 months old. I'll remove the few more that have reached their birthday.

Me again! I removed the articles from the list that were more than 18 months old, otherwise the list would have become very short!

At the moment it seems to duplicate Welsh Government. I'm not an expert in semantics, but I would expect 'Government of Wales' to describe how Wales has been governed over many centuries (not restricted to post 1998).

It seems to me it would be best as a disambiguation page, with content removed. The articles for England, Scotland and NI are equally odd. I'll raise the question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom.

You will all have heard of Blue Flag beach awards, which has a page on Wikipedia. Less well known is the Green Coast Award, also administered in Wales, by Keep Wales Tidy. It has a less stringent set of criteria, designed to suit rural beaches with minimal infrastructure & resources, with an emphasis on environment and community. Wikipedia doesn't have a page, so I created it. But it was immediately put up for speedy deletion, on the grounds of "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". Although I put a case for it, arguing that I simply wanted to explain what it was, and it's basic criteria - no promotion was involved, it was immediately deleted by this single user. End of. Don't know why I bother ....

One way forward would be to create an article on Keep Wales Tidy, referring to the Green Coast (and other} schemes, and drawing on independent sources such as this, this, this and this. There is no good reason why an article on the organisation itself should be deleted. After doing that, you could make a case to User:Fastily that the deleted article should be copied over to your sandbox, so you can work on it and add further references. I should monitor WP:AFD, but I never do, I'm afraid.

Thanks for that, Ghmyrtle. You've obviously done a bit of homework on those sources. Might just do that - when I feel a bit more positive about things ....

Just to let you know me and Victuallers will be on Radio Wales at 7.50am tomorrow talking about Wikipedia and I'll be on Wales Today (not sure what time) talking about Monmouthpedia.

Just dropping a note here (and I'll drop a copy on the talk page at WP:BBC) on the off-chance someone might have sources for the Welsh Rarebit (radio programme) article. I came across it at Special:Newpages and while I had heard of it, I haven;t been able to find more than few sources for the article (particularly for dates), which the article could do with. I am fairly confident that it did start in 1938 on the Welsh Regional Programme and a figure of 12 million listeners given in a source is a reasonable figure. (Actually that would make it one of the most popular Welsh made BBC programmes ever; 12 million is about 1600-1800 milliWhos by my calculation). One other thing that springs tto mind is that the producer from 1941, Mai Davies, along with one of the performers, wrote We`ll Keep a Welcome (in the Hillside) which was played at the end of the programme (and of course became a bit of a standard); anyway, if anyone has any sources that couldn't be found online, the article needs them.
