Radyr railways

Morning mate. I noticed you amended the edit about the number of passengers at Radyr railway station - I guess I was only looking at the passengers going IN and not going OUT! Anyway, there used to be a statement about 200 trains a day passing through the station - I took this statement out because I couldn't find any sources, but would you have any idea where this info would be? Also, would you know if Radyr really was once the busiest railway station in the world? Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 10:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess counting the number of trains in the timetable would be an option! And I imagine it was quite busy in the coal-era because of its position between Cardiff and Valleys, quite possibly on a European scale, feasible on a world scale but Google not come up with anything?

Swansea monopoly, June 2009

Welshleprechaun, firstly your edit wasn't "more neutral", it was pointless verbiage. As I said on the article talkpage, a locally-known building or structure is just a long-winded way of saying a local landmark - see the dictionary definition of landmark, esp. 2a and 4[1]. Secondly, there is no 'official' list of landmarks in Wales or the UK as a whole - it's simply a matter of opinion which places do or don't merit the description. If the manufacturer of a board game describes certain locations depicted in that game as landmarks, that's up to them.[2] Thirdly, please stop making unreasonable accusations of bias against me - without clear evidence these can be construed as a personal attack. Pondle (talk) 22:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Swansea railway station

I watch Swansea railway station, hence my interest. As for whether major stations en route to a third destination should be mentioned in the narrative, I don't see consistency in other articles - and I notice that you omitted Reading, which is also on the template.Pondle (talk) 22:24, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Cardiff

Hiya, just noticed on the history of the Cardiff article that you'd reverted one of my image moves. Sorry, I hadn't meant to revert your reversion (if you know what I mean). I had wondered where the Cardiff market image had gone and just assumed that I'd made a mistake and deleted when I should have saved (or something), as I'd made so many changes. My reasoning was that Cardiff Market is representative of economic activity (through the ages) and it is a strong image, whereas, although the the Capital Tower is important in terms of the Cardiff economy, it only relates to the last ten years, or so and the image is quite poor, really. Still, I'm not particulary precious about any of the images, so if you want to put it back - please feel free. Your help on the project would be very welcome. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 19:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

You may not have noticed, but I've reinstated the Capital Tower image in the Economy, which seems significantly better at its bigger size. Daicaregos (talk) 21:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles

A second RfC has been started on sourcing for Eurovision articles, you can view it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles. This RfC is critical as it will help determine how current and future Eurovision articles are sourced, and as much participation as possible is needed for a consensus to develop. You are being notified as you are listed as an active user of Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision, and hence the results of this RfC could have a large impact on the articles you edit.

changes

Hey there i recently changed the list of stadia in wales by capacity to not include ninian park. i didnt do it because i dont like cardiff but because they have played there final league match there and will no longer play there again- which means it is defunct like the vetch. you recently reverted this back to the old format your reason being "Ninian Park still standing". so too does the vetch field but it isnt included in the list. so when cardiff are officially residents at there new stadium and officially moved out of ninian park, are you going to revert back to my format making all the necessary changes that are needed?

Glamorgan Wanderers RFC

Do you have a copy of the Rothmans Yearbook? If so, would you mind checking the ref for Glamorgan Wanderers RFC and let me know which page it's on please (& the year). I don't have a copy, so just put page 10 (on the Sport in Cardiff article). Thanks, Daicaregos (talk) 12:39, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Cardiff - Sports

Hiya Welshleprechaun, I see you made some improvements to the Cardiff article. I've had a good think about it. It's really long already, and adding infromation and the sort of references we need is going to make it massive. I've looked at some city/country FAs and they seem to be between about 115,000 - 130,000 bytes (Peru is only 50,000 bytes). Cardiff is now at 139,327 bytes, which probably makes it too big already. What I've done, over the last week, is to move the Sports section over to the Sport in Cardiff article and (hopefully) improved that article by adding sports that weren't there previously, and adding infomation and references to those that were. It remains a work in progress, but I think I'm nearly there. The plan is to cut the Sports section in the Cardiff article down to two/three paragraphs, as part of the Culture section, which also needs to be cut (as does history). What do you think? Any advice would be welcome. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 11:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

West Wales

As someone who lived for many years on Gower Road in Swansea I know from first hand experience that most of the local population regard themselves as both in South Wales and in West Wales. This is not a problem since these areas are only vaguely defined but walking round Swansea market there is a very clear sense of much greater cultural, economic and social links with Wales west of Swansea, in Llanelli and Carmarthenshire, than there is with Cardiff and the Vale . Your exclusion of a useful map says more about your POV than about how the poeple of Swansea feel.  Velela  ^{Velela Talk}   17:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

With all due and humble respect it is you that is being disruptive. I produced my own evidence that the local population regard themselves as being in West Wales (as well as South Wales) and you ? Well you said ".....whereas most commonly accepted to be in South Wales" on your edit of the 10th July. "Commonly accepted"? by whom ? Where is there evidence for this? Have you lived for a substantial time in Swansea ? Or is this a very partial view from Cardiff, do let me know, I would be so delighted. I also believe that threatening and bullying behaviour is ill advised and positively counter productive on Wikipedia. I will not trade in threats, and your adherence to well behaved debate would cut a great deal more ice with me than bombastic messages.  Velela  ^{Velela Talk}   12:26, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Newcastle Airport

I do wish people would decide what they want on the Airport-dest-list. The usual criticism is that the airport name has been included rather than the city name. Now you are stating that it should be the airport name in preference to the city name. In this particular instance would that be Newcastle Airport, England; Newcastle Airport, New South Wales; or Newcastle Airport, South Africa? I presume that it's not Newcastle Airport, St Kitts and Nevis as that one has been renamed. It may seem a stupid question, but Jasepl has recently insisted on Palma de Mallorca rather than official title of Palma on the grounds that there is a tiny community in the outback of Uruguay (needless to say it doesn't have an airport) that shares the name, and that this could cause confusion between the two Palmas. There is also an insistance on describing Incheon International Airport as Seoul-Incheon, despite the fact that Incheon is a city with the same status as a province and has a population of 2.6 million and that Seoul doesn't appear in the airport name. This is justified on the grounds that the principal city served should be used, rather than the airport name. Can we have some consistency please? At least then those of us who aren't plane spotters could understand what's going on, and what's acceptable. Skinsmoke (talk) 22:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, okay calm down. I was under the impression that it's always the airport name. Maybe you could bring it up at WP Airports and once a rule of consistency has been established, I'll be happy to comply. Welshleprechaun (talk) 10:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry if that came over a bit frantic. It wasn't meant to. Think that's a good idea to bring it up at WP Airports to see if we can try to get a policy that is clearly understandable. I've moved everything here to maintain the discussion thread (so you don't have to dart backwards and forwards between pages to see what's going on). Hope you don't mind.

Straw poll on reliable sources for Eurovision articles

The second RfC on sourcing for Eurovision articles has now being running for several weeks, you can view it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles. In order to help gauge the spread of opinion and draw conclusions from this discussion a straw poll has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Straw poll. All project members are encouraged to read the RfC thoroughly and then cast their votes as they see fit. Rationales are still encouraged in the main discussion area above the poll, and participants can add appropriate new sources or options to the poll as they wish.

"Anglo-Welsh"

Hi, Welshleprechaun. Thought I'd let you know that I've taken the 'bold move' of redirecting Anglo-Welsh - which you'd tagged, quite rightly, as being of disputable accuracy - to Literature of Wales (English language) (aka by some as Anglo-Welsh literature). Hope you agree that it's an acceptable solution. By the way, do you have any opinion on the validity or otherwise of Category:Anglo-Welsh people, just recently created? Comes from the same direction, perhaps? Hwyl, Enaidmawr (talk) 00:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Swansea-Bydgoszcz twinning

I found the twinning relationship on the Local Government Association website, it's list was updated in April 2008 [3] I do accept that image you posted but that picture was taken in April 2006.

Vale of Glamorgan and Wales

Hi. I noticed you've done a lot of work on the Vale of Glamorgan. Dunno if you know but do you know about this site? It has a massive number of images for villages and roads and just about anywhere in the UK. I've already used to to provide images to many villages in the Vale and by the time I've finished I hope to provide photographs for every village in Wales. If you could upload some this would be great. Just have a search for local areas on geograph and you may be surprised.

Unnecessary 'disambiguations'

Please note that there is only one (Welsh) Swansea article, and it is about the contemporary City and County of Swansea. Since the religion statistics in question - as with *all* stats cited in the article - refer to the same geographical area (and are described as statistics for "Swansea"[4]) no "disambiguation" is required. --Pondle (talk) 18:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

That may be so, but it is not clear. It does not specifically state that (nor should it). Disambiguations do more good than harm and should not be treated with hostility. Welshleprechaun (talk) 18:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I disagree. If there were two separate "Swansea" articles, you may have a point, but the opening para makes it quite clear that Swansea is a city and county in Wales. The 1996 LA inherited the city status of its smaller predecessors. I'm not against an occasional reference to "the local authority" or something to avoid repeating words in the same sentence, but randomly changing references to 'Swansea' to 'City and County of Swansea' is pedantic, unnecessary and conflicts with the article title.--Pondle (talk) 18:47, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The change was not 'random' as you described. My edits have reasons behind them. Whether the edit was necessary or not remains subject to opinion. Swansea remains mostly known across the country as a city (or urban area, or settlement, whatever your preferred word was), rather than a county. On the news, you don't hear of a house fire in the City and County of Swansea - it would be in Swansea or Gorseinon etc. This is why I favour the disambiguation. Welshleprechaun (talk) 18:55, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that I will convince you in this discussion, and you won't convince me. The fact remains that there is only one "Swansea" article, and it is about the whole City and County of Swansea. I've asked Ghmyrtle to comment, he's a geographer and well-established as an honest broker.--Pondle (talk) 19:07, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Bristol Airport

Re your comment: "Referencing material is one of the major policies of Wikipedia"

• Certainly, that is true. But not for existing or recurring flights. All of the references I removed (and whoever added them was on quite the referencing spree, and repeated basically the same reference a hundred times), were from recurring/seasonal flights. The established project standard (available at WP:Airports and WP:Airlines in case in doubt) is to simply say [seasonal] after the seasonal destination, without mentioning resumption or suspension dates. And certainly not to use the word "recommencing". Refer any other airport article, and flights will be listed as "XXX [seasonal]". Thanks, Jasepl (talk) 08:54, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

United Kingdom references

Hi. I just noticed this edit you made to the United Kingdom article. You state in your edit summary that all references are in the respective articles, but please note that, per WP:CIRCULAR, Wikipedia articles shouldn't be used as sources for other Wikipedia articles, which is what your suggestion amounts to. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I've checked this out Larry. You're not understanding what's going on here. Welshleprechaun is saying that references to the points he's making exist in the articles being referred to, and so they do. Take a look again. Everything's OK here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hiro Miyake (talk • contribs) 21:19, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I fully understand that the references exist in the articles that are linked to. My point is that that's not enough. The references needed to be added to the UK article, where they were required as well. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I have reverted your changes to the UK article, per WP:BRD. This page is one of the most visited on Wikipedia. You are required to obtain a consensus before restoring your preferences. I'm sure you're adding this material in good faith, but repeated enforcement of personal tastes is frowned upon; the present images have appeared over a long period of discussion. Bold changes appear arbitary, Cambrocentric, and unjustified. --Jza84 |  Talk  18:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Wow! Take that as a telling off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hiro Miyake (talk • contribs) 21:19, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The problem was that there were no references. Now there are. So now your problem with the images is...? Welshleprechaun (talk) 09:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

My problem wasn't with the images but since the existing ones are well-established, you should probably discuss the changes you want to make at Talk:United Kingdom. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:17, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Eglinton name

I would like to know why you are trying to label the village of Eglinton with a name which it lost over three centuries ago? The Irish name of an Mhagh means Muff, it does not mean Eglinton. Please explain your logic. --81.187.71.75 (talk) 00:05, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
