A {{clarify me}} tag has been placed against the use of sugar and flannel to seal the joints in the iron trough. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, which has done surveys, states that the joints were sealed with flannel, white lead (my emphasis) and iron filings [1]. I was entertained by the possibility that the very widespread story of "sugar" may have come from some confusion with sugar of lead, but could find no evidence of this. Nonetheless, the Commission is a very strong source and "white lead" should go in. Question: do we keep the very popular sugar? -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 07:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
[2] It's been accepted, but I've no idea how to include that in the article. If someone could do it, it'd be brilliant thanks... Cieran 91 ( talk) 22:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Somewhere between entering the co-ordinates on this page and displaying on Google Earth there's a problem, as both the grid reference and the lat/long direct to the wrong locations. They also have the wrong but, strangely, not unrelated labels of "Shropshire Union Canal" and "River Dee". The link to Bing Maps seems ok. Anybody know what's wrong? -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 12:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
The re-arrangement and enlargement of images in this edit is contrary to MOS:IMAGE. Just two, from several contraventions: "Start an article with a right-aligned lead image or infobox" and "Avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other". -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 10:38, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
> "£47,000 (£2,930,000 as of 2011)"
This statement on its own is somewhat curious. £3m today might not even cover the design work much less the cost of survey, construction, materials, insurance, fees, taxes, etc. Green Cardamom ( talk) 05:38, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
I raise this after an IP query on Template talk:Infobox aqueduct navigable.
The infobox indicates boats can pass but as the Aqueduct is only 11-foot wide and narrowboats are about 7-foot wide there appears to be a problem. Is there passing places or some other explanation for the apparent problem? Keith D ( talk) 23:41, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
I was doing some categorisation work on scheduled monuments in Denbighshire and found the aqueduct listed there. Bit of research in Cadw records shows that its scheduled (as a monument) in Denbighshire and listed (as a building) in Wrexham county borough... A slightly odd position - whenever I've come across bridges over boundaries in the past they've usually been scheduled or listed in both principal areas.
I'm tempted to categorise as both a listed building and a scheduled monument in both Wrexham county borough and Denbighshire. Any thoughts/objections? Robevans123 ( talk) 10:44, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Isn't the plural for "cyswllt" "cysylltiadau"? Let's not forget we also have the original Pont Cysylltau (which currently says nothing about its etymology. Martinevans123 ( talk) 18:37, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
