I have reverted Enaidmawr's unilateral edits because not only was there no consensus (this page has been organised this way for a long time), the organisation Enaidmawr chose was completely nonsensical. Owain ( talk) 17:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
I suspect that some of the structure listed here are either non existent, play-on-words or simply not worth mentioning.
Several "named castles" can't be found searching for them on the Internet or do not match any recognised name. More care must be taken to stop these erroneous sites being added.
Logically this list should contain sites that can be visited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.69.62 ( talk) 19:18, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
ther's much better pictures of castles than the one that is there, just saying. thanks list of castles in Scotland in comparrison looks FINNISHED with pictures aswell also. I counted 145 casltes in Wales on that list and ONLY ONE AWEFUL picture to go with it, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.160.253 ( talk) 11:38, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
there are in excess of 400 castles in Wales and about 160 still standing, some are missing from this list also [ [2]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.160.253 ( talk) 13:00, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I read above that an earlier reference to "Aberaeron Castle" has been removed (no doubt originally added by someone in good faith), so just to say that I have now added Castell Cadwgan (in Aberaeron) now that the Aberaeron page contains a proper reference to it. I assume that this was the castle which was earlier being referred to, albeit by the wrong name. Hogyn Lleol ( talk) 13:29, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
In its present state this article is not much more than a list of names. I think maybe tables should be introduced with more information and images, similar to the pages for England and Scotland. Njb19 ( talk) 12:08, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Would this article benefit from having an external link to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales and its online database: Coflein.
Thank you for considering! Charles.rcahmw ( talk) 13:11, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
@ Reese3196: I am dubious that Chateau Rhianfa should be classified as a castle. It is a mansion, formerly known as Plas Rhianfa. It is unclear when 'Chateau' was first used, possibly added in recent years when it became a hotel. Cadw does not use this name, and does not describe it as a castle. [3] [4] I propose to remove it from this list. Verbcatcher ( talk) 23:51, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
