Su'mae Dai,
I'm a little confused by this edit. I think either you misunderstood mine, or I'm misunderstanding yours. My point was that it's very common to refer to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales as countries. I don't think the current wording reflects this, which is why I changed it. garik ( talk) 00:38, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your literature it's both informative and provocative, I will be reading all of your articles (I hope you are proud of them), have you always been a keen writer? ( TicktonMN ( talk) 14:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)) I hope this isn't out of place but I have read most things printed here and on other pages and I did start to question my own welsh-ality p.s I consider myself to be welsh. however without being accused of any social engineering I found myself after reading historical accounts trying to identify with a person predating religion to try and imagine a culture that I could be apart of and obviously it's well known to be pagan in entirety. Then I remembered I was walking through the market not just two days ago and with a friend (who is'nt welsh) I was trying to explain what it meant to me to be welsh. On the market (luckily) was a man selling "love spoons", we asked the vender what was the significance of spoons and he claimed that it began in the 16th century, the spoon being carved by the male and given to a female in a ritual before they married and gave off spring. Maybe in a ceremony involving the families and other members of their community. I thought this was important in the run of things in my own concept of welsh and an important apart in discussing culture. TicktonMN ( talk) 16:54, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Please don't describe unsourced but uncontentious statements as "nonsense". In many of those cases, the towns and villages were founded as Anglo-Norman settlements; there is no evidence that their unpopulated locations had Welsh names previously. Prestatyn was originally an English village called Preston; Caergwrle was originally an English village called Corley; etc. Those specific examples are referenced from Hywel Wyn Owen's Place-names of Wales.

Daicaregos it's a wrapper. All it does is automatically fills in a number of fields in template:Infobox country that are the same across all four countries, however even these can be overridden at each article if the editors want. The purpose is not to centralise discussions or force editors across all four articles to agree. Consistency is preferable but it should not be forced. Rob984 ( talk) 14:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Please just revert the addition at each article if you have reason to object. Rob984 ( talk) 14:19, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
To clarify, any field from template:Infobox country can work so long as it is added to the template first. There's no reason why any field shouldn't be allowed to be added if there is a possibility of it being used. I did not create the wrapper to restrict the use of fields in template:Infobox country, and I would appreciate if you would not do that. Rob984 ( talk) 14:44, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Greetings. We've definitely got off to the wrong start—I've accused you of being the first to reintroduce national flagicons to the Calzaghe article (only partially true; you weren't the first), and you've accused me of canvassing (of which, from what I can tell, only the neutrality policy was crossed). No worries. We've got that out of the way, and I would much prefer to collaborate on the matter than bicker over it (it's all I've ever tried to do at WikiProject Boxing, but nobody ever bothers to post there or try for a consensus). I'm glad that you at least have an opinion on the flags thing, because I've only managed to get fleeting discussion for my other unrelated RfC, and not many editors seem to give a damn about settling it.
Nonetheless, how do we balance things out regarding the flagicons debate? We obviously need more editors to weigh in, but I have no desire to be accused of canvassing again. I contacted User:Drmies because he was the only editor whom I had seen have an opinion on flagicons—for all I know, despite my use of a quote of his, he could've been for them in this case, or not had an opinion at all. You could try putting in an RfC at WikiProject Boxing, but I'm almost certain that it'll garner insufficient responses to solve anything. Likewise, User:GoodDay hasn't had any response to his RfC. Both you and I appear to be steadfast on where we stand, so where to now? Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 16:23, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Howdy, just wanted ya to know.

Greetings again. I seem to remember that you were in favour of having "[City], Wales", "[City], England", etc., whilst ditching the "[Country], UK" suffix. Am I correct? Either way, I've gone that route with the MOS ("Cardiff, Wales" with no UK suffix), but User:Slickmoves has once again chimed in with this reasoning in which he maintains that the UK is equivalent to the US, and should be tacked on. Admittedly I once thought so as well, but now I do not. I see no reason for the UK suffix, especially when the 'strong national ties' issue will always exist with many British boxers choosing to "fight for" their own countries. Is there any kind of guideline on WP towards which I could point him, or a better-worded reasoning to illustrate the point? Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 00:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
I think it's best that Mac D opens up a Rfc on this topic, at WP:BOXING. You & I, never have & never will agree on this E/S/W/NI/UK topic. So it's best we allow others to make the choice :) GoodDay ( talk) 17:59, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Yep, it looks like an Rfc is necessary. GoodDay ( talk) 18:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Well, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Opening up yet another RfC at this point could have the effect of attracting a fresh influx of dissenting viewpoints—a "flies to the dungheap" kinda thing—on the rest of the MOS, which I almost have nailed to perfection. The issue of the UK/E/S/W/NI suffix is a very minor formatting detail which can be ironed out at a later date. Otherwise, by bringing it into view again (and, by extension, flagicons) via an RfC, we run the risk of edits like this or this stalling things, and the last thing I want is any input from the latter editor. I therefore suggest that all three of us leave the sovereign state issue untouched for a while longer, so that the MOS can be left untouched. We can revisit it when the whole thing is closer to being finalised via the ongoing silent consensus.
As for Timothy Bradley's record, I don't want to outright pick sides or make a decision now as to which one it should be—as I said, I partially agree with both of you. Before I overhauled the table, it merely listed "Nottinghamshire" as the top level location, but I'm vehemently against including counties. I've been going around using "[City], [Country]" for a few months now, so it'd be silly to go around adding the "UK" suffix when there is still disagreement. So! Just for Bradley's record, how about we ditch "England" and "UK" completely for now, leaving it as "Nottingham Arena, Nottingham", and revert to how the flags were before. Can we do that?

Hello,
I noticed a while ago that you linked a (very nice, BTW) picture called "Twyn y Gaer Iron Age Hill Fort, situated atop the Gaer mountain, S. Wales" to the Wikipedia article on Mynydd Illtud.
While it's true that there is a hillfort in Mynydd Illtud called Twyn y Gaer, that's not the one your picture illustrates. "Your" Twyn y Gaer is in fact located in the Black Mountains, between the villages of Patrishow (Powys) and Cwmyoy (Monmounthshire) -- something I could verify: the outline of the unusual earthworks design atop Gear mountain are easily recognisable on Google Maps. In fact, based on the hillforts list on "The Megalithic Portal" website, there are at least 5 such forts called "Twyn y Gaer" or "Twyn-y-Gaer" in Wales.
I already took the liberty a while ago of clarifying the exact location in the description of your picture on Wikimedia Commons. Today, I've eventually taken the step of removing the link to your picture from the "Mynydd Illtud" article, as they are in fact unrelated. There doesn't seem to be an article yet about the Gaer mountain hillfort where you could re-link your picture (or if there is, I've not found it), but it is listed on the page titled "List of hillforts in Wales", in the section "Monmouthshire" (its entry is called "Twyn y Gaer, Llanfihangel Crucorney").

The
leek is one of the national emblems of Wales, worn along with the
daffodil (in Welsh, the daffodil is known as "Peter's leek", Cenhinen Bedr) on
St. David's Day. According to one
legend,
King Cadwaladr of
Gwynedd ordered his soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the vegetable on their helmets in an ancient battle against the
Saxons that took place in a leek field.

( TicktonMN ( talk) 14:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)) I hope this isn't out of place but I have read most things printed here and on other pages and I did start to question my own welsh-ality p.s I consider myself to be welsh. however without being accused of any social engineering I found myself after reading historical accounts trying to identify with a person predating religion to try and imagine a culture that I could be apart of and obviously it's well known to be pagan in entirety. Then I remembered I was walking through the market not just two days ago and with a friend (who is'nt welsh) I was trying to explain what it meant to me to be welsh. On the market (luckily) was a man selling "love spoons", we asked the vender what was the significance of spoons and he claimed that it began in the 16th century, the spoon being carved by the male and given to a female in a ritual before they married and gave off spring. Maybe in a ceremony involving the families and other members of their community. I thought this was important in the run of things in my own concept of welsh and an important apart in discussing culture. TicktonMN ( talk) 16:54, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Please don't describe unsourced but uncontentious statements as "nonsense". In many of those cases, the towns and villages were founded as Anglo-Norman settlements; there is no evidence that their unpopulated locations had Welsh names previously. Prestatyn was originally an English village called Preston; Caergwrle was originally an English village called Corley; etc. Those specific examples are referenced from Hywel Wyn Owen's Place-names of Wales.

Daicaregos it's a wrapper. All it does is automatically fills in a number of fields in template:Infobox country that are the same across all four countries, however even these can be overridden at each article if the editors want. The purpose is not to centralise discussions or force editors across all four articles to agree. Consistency is preferable but it should not be forced. Rob984 ( talk) 14:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Please just revert the addition at each article if you have reason to object. Rob984 ( talk) 14:19, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
To clarify, any field from template:Infobox country can work so long as it is added to the template first. There's no reason why any field shouldn't be allowed to be added if there is a possibility of it being used. I did not create the wrapper to restrict the use of fields in template:Infobox country, and I would appreciate if you would not do that. Rob984 ( talk) 14:44, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Greetings. We've definitely got off to the wrong start—I've accused you of being the first to reintroduce national flagicons to the Calzaghe article (only partially true; you weren't the first), and you've accused me of canvassing (of which, from what I can tell, only the neutrality policy was crossed). No worries. We've got that out of the way, and I would much prefer to collaborate on the matter than bicker over it (it's all I've ever tried to do at WikiProject Boxing, but nobody ever bothers to post there or try for a consensus). I'm glad that you at least have an opinion on the flags thing, because I've only managed to get fleeting discussion for my other unrelated RfC, and not many editors seem to give a damn about settling it.
Nonetheless, how do we balance things out regarding the flagicons debate? We obviously need more editors to weigh in, but I have no desire to be accused of canvassing again. I contacted User:Drmies because he was the only editor whom I had seen have an opinion on flagicons—for all I know, despite my use of a quote of his, he could've been for them in this case, or not had an opinion at all. You could try putting in an RfC at WikiProject Boxing, but I'm almost certain that it'll garner insufficient responses to solve anything. Likewise, User:GoodDay hasn't had any response to his RfC. Both you and I appear to be steadfast on where we stand, so where to now? Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 16:23, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Howdy, just wanted ya to know.

Greetings again. I seem to remember that you were in favour of having "[City], Wales", "[City], England", etc., whilst ditching the "[Country], UK" suffix. Am I correct? Either way, I've gone that route with the MOS ("Cardiff, Wales" with no UK suffix), but User:Slickmoves has once again chimed in with this reasoning in which he maintains that the UK is equivalent to the US, and should be tacked on. Admittedly I once thought so as well, but now I do not. I see no reason for the UK suffix, especially when the 'strong national ties' issue will always exist with many British boxers choosing to "fight for" their own countries. Is there any kind of guideline on WP towards which I could point him, or a better-worded reasoning to illustrate the point? Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 00:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
I think it's best that Mac D opens up a Rfc on this topic, at WP:BOXING. You & I, never have & never will agree on this E/S/W/NI/UK topic. So it's best we allow others to make the choice :) GoodDay ( talk) 17:59, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Yep, it looks like an Rfc is necessary. GoodDay ( talk) 18:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Well, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Opening up yet another RfC at this point could have the effect of attracting a fresh influx of dissenting viewpoints—a "flies to the dungheap" kinda thing—on the rest of the MOS, which I almost have nailed to perfection. The issue of the UK/E/S/W/NI suffix is a very minor formatting detail which can be ironed out at a later date. Otherwise, by bringing it into view again (and, by extension, flagicons) via an RfC, we run the risk of edits like this or this stalling things, and the last thing I want is any input from the latter editor. I therefore suggest that all three of us leave the sovereign state issue untouched for a while longer, so that the MOS can be left untouched. We can revisit it when the whole thing is closer to being finalised via the ongoing silent consensus.
As for Timothy Bradley's record, I don't want to outright pick sides or make a decision now as to which one it should be—as I said, I partially agree with both of you. Before I overhauled the table, it merely listed "Nottinghamshire" as the top level location, but I'm vehemently against including counties. I've been going around using "[City], [Country]" for a few months now, so it'd be silly to go around adding the "UK" suffix when there is still disagreement. So! Just for Bradley's record, how about we ditch "England" and "UK" completely for now, leaving it as "Nottingham Arena, Nottingham", and revert to how the flags were before. Can we do that?

I see that you removed what I said about the Napoleonic connotations of 1st March : I can not be bothered to enter into an editing war - but the convention is to ask for the references which I have just returned with ... I take it that you are a Nationalist and therefore think that vandalism is a political act ? 2.99.188.131 ( talk) 02:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
are you familiar with the Donovan Leitch song - 'Sunny South Kensington'? I am certain of the lyric "Jean-Paul Belmondo and-a Mary Quant got Stoned, to say the least", which clearly refers to drug use. Why are you removing facts as stated?

Thank you Bill. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you.

Hello,
I noticed a while ago that you linked a (very nice, BTW) picture called "Twyn y Gaer Iron Age Hill Fort, situated atop the Gaer mountain, S. Wales" to the Wikipedia article on Mynydd Illtud.
While it's true that there is a hillfort in Mynydd Illtud called Twyn y Gaer, that's not the one your picture illustrates. "Your" Twyn y Gaer is in fact located in the Black Mountains, between the villages of Patrishow (Powys) and Cwmyoy (Monmounthshire) -- something I could verify: the outline of the unusual earthworks design atop Gear mountain are easily recognisable on Google Maps. In fact, based on the hillforts list on "The Megalithic Portal" website, there are at least 5 such forts called "Twyn y Gaer" or "Twyn-y-Gaer" in Wales.
I already took the liberty a while ago of clarifying the exact location in the description of your picture on Wikimedia Commons. Today, I've eventually taken the step of removing the link to your picture from the "Mynydd Illtud" article, as they are in fact unrelated. There doesn't seem to be an article yet about the Gaer mountain hillfort where you could re-link your picture (or if there is, I've not found it), but it is listed on the page titled "List of hillforts in Wales", in the section "Monmouthshire" (its entry is called "Twyn y Gaer, Llanfihangel Crucorney").

The
leek is one of the national emblems of Wales, worn along with the
daffodil (in Welsh, the daffodil is known as "Peter's leek", Cenhinen Bedr) on
St. David's Day. According to one
legend,
King Cadwaladr of
Gwynedd ordered his soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the vegetable on their helmets in an ancient battle against the
Saxons that took place in a leek field.

It is with a heavy heart that I must pass on the sad news that Daicaregos is no longer with us. A lovely man, loyal friend and fantastic Wikipedia collaborator he will be greatly missed. Thank you so much for your generous help . Rest in Peace Welshman xxxxx Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 17:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Jeanne boleyn
Perhaps Daicaregos should be listed at Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians article. GoodDay ( talk) 19:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
A write up at Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2018 about Daicaregos, would also seem appropriate. GoodDay ( talk) 22:55, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
