[edit] Welsh language

Am playing with the 2001 census figures for "no knowledge of Welsh" in Pembrokeshire, to see if I can pull out something nice and easy to illustrate the point about the divison between the south and north.

This really is quite diverse, with the Welsh language named communities having generally <50% no Welsh, and quite a lot of English named communities having >70% Welsh. The standard deviation of non-welshness is .19, which is the joint highest with Conwy. Not sure how best to present it (or even how valid that using stdev on variably sized parishes is).

[edit] Beach

Can anyone find out what award that beach won? I reverted entire edit as too tourist brochurey, would keep the award, but can't find anything googling. Morwen - Talk 17:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Anglicized" Little England

I have changed this. "Anglicization" implies some sort of process, and there is no evidence for this. Glamorgan is anglicized: East Breconshire is anglicized, but Little England has always been just plain English. LinguisticDemographer 20:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Always is maybe too strong a word. But a very long time Agathoclea 21:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transport

The current section on transport reads like a political news-sheet rather than an encyclopedia article. Most of it probably needs to come out. I removed an obviously non-encyclopedic statement. . . .LinguisticDemographer 16:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

And a lot could be and is in more relevevant articles. Agathoclea 21:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whitesands Bay

There is no mention of Whitesands bay in this article although it says here that it's supposed to be one of the best beaches in the world! There is a stub where it is called Whitesand Bay, which is what it is called on my roadmap, but everyone seems to know it as Whitesands Bay, as do the county council. Also, a web search on "Whitesands Bay" comes up with a lot more hits than "Whitesand Bay". Does anyone know which is the correct title? The Whitesand stub doesn't appear to be listed in the List of places in Pembrokeshire either, which is a shame. Richerman (talk) 22:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the name of the Article to Whitesands Bay as that's how it's shown on the OS maps and added "Beaches" to List of places in Pembrokeshire. I've also added Beaches to this article. Richerman (talk) 16:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
