Welsh county names

Thanks for correcting my typos (and forgetting to mutate Maldwyn!). I'm a little curious, though, I've never seen anyone use Sir Aberteifi, is it much used? And I could have sworn there was a to bach on sir, dunno where I got that idea from. Thanks again! :o) OwenBlacker 21:42, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

I use the online dictionary at [1] for my spelling needs -- it says there is no to bach on sir (I didn't think there was). Sir Aberteifi is the old name for Ceredigion. The (much older) name Ceredigion didn't come in in any official sense until the creation of Dyfed, when it was used as the name of the district covering the old Cardiganshire. Cardiganshire was the default name for the new county in the 1996 reorganisation, but the council changed their name to Ceredigion (thankfully -- I much prefer it!). Gareth 22:36, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board

I've created a fairly simple Wikipedia:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board (shortcut WP:WWNB) to try to get things started. Please have a look and consider signing on, adding it to your watchlist and helping to make sure any users with an interest in the subject know about it. Also please feel free to add things and to change anything you feel needs changing – I'm not under the impression that I own it! Rhion 20:00, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

When was a time limit introduced on editing Wikipedia articles? There is no defintive version of any article: all are works in progress. Do you have any specific complaints regarding my edits? If so, please edit the page and fix them. Do not be taken in by the pseudo teamwork you think that you have partaken in at that Talk page.--Mais oui! 17:09, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

"I'm not suggesting that a time limit be placed on articles; I'm just intrigued by the fact that you ignored my attempt at mediation and decided that tit-for-tat mass editing was the solution to this." My "mass editing" was certainly not "tit-for-tat". I have every right to copyedit as I see fit: if there are specific disagreements then please change them yourself, or raise them at Talk. Admittedly, my previous edits on the sole Nationalism versus Welsh nationalism link were "tit-for-tat", but I seriously consider that to be a counter move to the disgraceful Labourite campaign to try to associate PC with the Nazis: do not be naive in this matter - Wikipedia should not become a free promo tool for the Labour Party to defame opponents.--Mais oui! 17:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Cause for concern

Dear Gareth, you may be aware of the existence of [[Category:Welsh-speaking people]]. This has been nominated for deletion, on the grounds that all "similar" categories, eg. English-speaking people, would be "too big". I'm not prepared to die in a ditch over it, but I do feel that it's an obvious exception. If you have an opinion, would you care to contribute to the debate? Deb 19:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf

Thank you for clarifying that first sentence in Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf. I'd never heard of a "medium school" before, but I just thought it was British for "middle school". Now it makes sense! ... discospinster _talk 17:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Cimries and camries

In the same editing spree, that IP address has wandered over from "we Welsh in Wales" via we the American people to us in France. Not quite sure what to make of that. Attempting to assume good faith, this is one well-travelled Cymro... Telsa (talk) 18:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for help

Hello Sir, I am wondering if you would be able to assist me with something I am trying to get done. I speak practically no welsh at all, hence on my user page on the Welsh Wici, I am marked as a cy-0... However, I am a very big fan of what was an originally Welsh language cartoon, SuperTed. I note we have an article on the English Wiki, and one in Finnish (suprisingly), but I see no mention of SuperTed on the Welsh Wici, the one place I thought it would be. Do you think you could possibly help by taking a shot at translating the article and adding it to the Welsh Wicipedia, or finding someone on the site who could do this? I came to you because I found you in the category for Native Welsh speakers. I hope you can help, please contact me on my talk page if you can. Thanks (or is it Diolch yn fawr or something like that???), Thor Malmjursson 14:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC) Talk to Thor

This article is still the subject of much controversy. If you could find time to look at it and perhaps make a contribution to the debate, it would be appreciated. Deb 14:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Your Recent Edit

You have just deleted my article on Penbryn.

As I researched the subject, took the photographs and wrote the original article, surely I am entitled to replace a stub with something mre meaningful? Above all, I retain the copyright, so its removal was groundless! I think you will find that there is nothing else much of substance on Penbryn. If you go to http://www.welsh-cottages.co.uk/themes/westwalesguide.asp I think you will find I am building a unique photographic resource of West Wales which I am willing to share with others. As you are aware, the area is largely dependant now on tourism for its prosperity and the whole purpose of publishing a guide is to encourage people to visit us.

It would have been better if instead of taking a very negative view that you had offered some constructive criticism.

Could you please re-instate it.

Thanks

This morning, I have now stated clearly on the page that you thought was not my original work The Penbryn article page and on The Penbryn photographs page that the copyright is mine and I have assigned this not only to my own name, but also now to the name I use here on Wikipedia. Please verify this by scrolling down to the bottom of these two pages.

Secondly, how can extolling the unique attributes of one of the most beautiful of beaches be classed as commercial "brochureware"? Where is my economic gain? This beach is under the stewardship of the National Trust. Perhaps you should make the effort to visit it! I am sure you will agree, that with Mwnt, that these two are the best beaches in Ceredigion.

Disambiguation link notification for February 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Capel Celyn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page River Dee (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

New Wales Coast Path WikiProject

As a member of WikiProject Wales, WikiProject Cardiff or an user who has contributed to Welsh articles we invite you to contribute to a new project, Living Paths!: articles, images, translations... Lonely Planet rated the coast of Wales "the best region on Earth" in 2012, yet there is a very low number of articles on the history and culture of places along the Coastal Path. This promises to be an exciting project as it gathers momentum with many Users joining in across the world.

If you are interested in training groups in Wales, please leave a message on the Talk Page. Let's make this WikiProject, like the path itself, the best on earth! And let's put Wales back on the map!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 08:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography.

Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.
