What is the Geography section for? Unless you are a captain of a ship or somthing I don't think those numbers are going to help the average person to locate where LLanelli is. It would be better to say that it is located in South Wales or somthing.


Regarding the anglicised spelling, I'm indebted to User:Owain for alerting me to this, and found the following corroberating sources- [1] [2][3] --Myfanwy 01:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Contents

[edit] Sport?

As Llanelli has such a proud sporting tradition, should it have a Sport section seperate from Culture and media?


[edit] Population

The infobox says 75 000 and the article says 44 000. Both quote the 2001 census. Which is correct?--193.195.185.254 22:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keith Allen

Added under Famous Citizens. His biography says born in Swansea. Is there any link with Llanelli?

[edit] Keith Allen

He was brought up in Bryn, Llanelli, and educated at the now Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel, Llwynhendy, Llanelli.

[edit] Geraint "The Snakeman" Hopkins

I'd just like to reiterate that Geraint Hopkins, also known as Geraint the Snakeman is a real person who deals with snakes and claims to be a ghost hunter, however he is not famous enough to be listed in the Llanelli Wikepedia article. I'd also like your opinion on whether Imogen Thomas is famous enough to be in the famous citizens section of the article.

[edit] External links clean-up?

May I suggest that some of the external links be removed by people who work regularly on this entry? A few of them look like external link spamming. For example,

  1. Llanelli Online The Number #1 Site For Llanelli
  2. Ghost Watch Wales, a company of ghost busters based in Llanelli
  3. Llanelli Scar, an online parody of the local newspaper 'The Llanelli Star'

All these look like they fall foul of Wikipedia:External_links. The top two look like spam; the bottom one is just out of place in an encyclopedia entry. However, since I'm just passing through, I'll leave someone else to debate and/or remove them.... Marcusswann 19:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

This article has almost no content, and throws almost nothing on Google. Seems like it would be better as a redirect. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 06:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 18:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
