How is the name pronounced? We should put it in there. Funnyhat 06:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
. I was also brought up in the Marches and it is Pow (as in Cow) and is (as in List). the poe-hiss pronunciation is more appropriate to the castle outside Welshpool. -- MJB ( talk) 22:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Listened to news item on BBC Wales and both forms of pronunciation "Pow" as in low and as in cow were used! Confused?-- MJB ( talk) 22:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I removed the 'league table' of school results because Estyn doesn't inspect schools annually, so the exam results cited won't necessarily be directly comparable. People may be aware that since 2001, the Assembly Government hasn't published individual school performance information. [1] Information on individual schools is still available in prospectuses and governors’ annual reports, but adding them all together to produce a local league table may violate WP:SYNTH.

Are we missing something, or does Powys lack a flag and armorial bearings? FreeFlow99 ( talk) 14:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Powys is from Latin pagensis from pagus meaning 'country' Nobel X300 ( talk) 19:24, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
Following the discussion resulting in WP:WLSCOUNTYCOLLAGE inline with UKGEO, and the expectation that multiple images would eventually be added to the infobox in a possible dispute. To get the ball rolling, I propose the following to be added in the infobox using {{ multiple image}}.
Order: Maintain first image for page preview, I'm fine with it.
General: As Powys is made of three historic counties, made sense to try to represent the other two, Radnorshire and Brecknockshire. Added the
Craig Goch Dam to represent Powys' (controversial) home to many dammed reservoirs (although open to a image showing more of the lake), and in need of a vertical image, opted for Brecknockshire's Hay-on-Wye Clock tower, although happy for one of its bookstores or an entirely different (vertical) image of Brecknockshire (Brecon, y Bannau etc.).
Be free to suggest better quality images of the same landmarks, and would happly apply. Be free to also suggest using different criteria and landmarks and would happily discuss what is best to represent the county, this one was suddenly made so I encourage and critique to replace some images.
If no opposition is raised, I would boldly insert it on 19 December. Opted for a discussion, considering previous attempts on others led to a dispute. Pinging those I feel are connected to the discussion specifically on Powys, however you do not need to respond.
Tbh, @ A.D.Hope, you're the only one directly connected to this issue, so got any other ideas or are these fine? If it is just a 1-1 consensus, it would be a looser consensus so more open in the future if another editor joins in at anytime. Dank Jae 03:17, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
Here is an alternative image to the Hay tower, if cropped, I'll look for anymore modern structures in Breconshire. Dank Jae 03:32, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
