[edit] Article ratings

Hi. I think your rating of so many Wales-related articles as "stub"-class is incorrect. Most of these articles are not stubs by either the project definition or the wikipedia definition. They provide enough information to be considered "start" class, eg. Silyn Roberts, Maredudd ab Owain. Deb 12:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, good point. What I don't want is to end up taking on overall responsibility for the Wales project. Incidentally, I'm not trying to get at you with the stubs thing. It's just a source of constant irritation to me how people are constantly tagging things as stub articles when they're not (often it's done by people who don't actually write any articles themselves) - it's no wonder we have so many stubs. I would personally say that both the articles above are start-class in terms of the project, and purely as articles they don't meet the definition of a stub. However, all I've done is remove the stub notice, which, to be fair, you didn't put on in the first place. I'd rather not change ratings when you've gone to the trouble of adding them - I would just like us not to waste time trying to expand articles that already have the basic details in them that most readers will want, and to concentrate on the ones that really do need work, eg. "Gareth Bloggs is a Welsh rugby player full stop." Deb 17:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twthill, Rhuddlan

Twthill (Twtil in Welsh) is a Welsh castle located in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire. Twthill castle is built to a 'motte and bailey' design and was erected by Robert of Rhuddlan

Just wondering, if it was built by a Norman, should it be called a 'Welsh Castle'? I've always thought that Welsh Castles were built by native princes and that others are referred to as Norman Castles. Just a thought.--Rhyswynne 12:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Penmon and St S

Many thanks for tidying up after me - not quite sure how I missed those! I noticed your comments about the Penmon article, and wondered what you wanted done with the photos that I added: I tried having them subsection by subsection, e.g. the Dovecot photo at the head of the subsection about the Dovecot, and it left a lot of white space on the page. I've not added many photographs to articles before, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Bencherlite 14:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Bore da i chi hefyd. Thanks for the suggestions about the photos; I'll have a tinker and see what it looks like. (The photo of the tunnel isn't mine). I don't have a village photo, but may be able to get one over the summer at some point - although I'm in Anglesey frequently, I don't often go as far over as Penmon.

Fi hefyd, unwais eto. Just to let you know that I've renamed it to Penmon, Anglesey in accordance with WP:MOS conventions, added an infobox (to which someone else added a map) and added some further details about census information from a useful site or two that others pointed me towards. I've suggested to the page's creator that it's taken to review for Good Article status. I don't know if it merits it, but it seems to do well against the criteria. Anyway, just to say thanks for reviewing the page and pushing other editors into action with your helpful suggestions. Regards, Bencherlite 23:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Thankyou for your help on rating it. Bencherlite has suggested that it should be improved to Good Article status, as stated above. If there are any other things you want to add, then please add them, and I hope that this article can be improved up to the standard. Thanks again! -- Casmith_789 (talk) 15:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I've decided to be bold and nominate the article for Good article status, under locations. -- Casmith_789 (talk) 15:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
