Hi, I've just read your new article High Peak Junction, thanks very much for creating it. One point you raise is the "junction" name. I believe it was called High Peak Junction as it was a junction between the Cromford and High Peak Railway and the Cromford Canal, as the original route was surveyed for a canal and a plateway was substituted on costs grounds. However, as you quote the 1956 book on the subject, I am quite prepared to bow to your superior knowledge :) However, if it was called High Peak Junction when the link to the Derwent Valley Line was made, should the article be called High Peak Junction railway station? Or was it never a station? I had difficulty reconciling the 1930 OS map and the link between the High Peak Railway and the Derwent Valley Line - http://www.ponies.me.uk/maps/osmap.html?z=14&x=%20-1.533408&y=53.100211 when I redid the eastern end of the Template:Cromford and High Peak Railway map.

After editing my submission on the Geograph web site for the bridge [1], I discovered the Tal y Cafn page which you had started. I noted that the construction date of the bridge preceded its design! I hope that you do not mind my amplification of the bridge details, which are of interest and critical in the locality. I hope to submit a picture of the bridge in due course....

Sorry mate, the reference is VALID = no problem with the fact. Just that the file is not available to non egroup members, and there for should not be used as a general reference. When it gets issued via the company site, then by all means use that as reference. -- Keith 10:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I would welcome an independent view on a debate regarding the inclusion of external web-links for numerous pub and clubs in Bangor (please see Talk:Bangor, Gwynedd) . My own view is that a list of pubs and clubs is not encyclopaedic anyway - but that is a personal view, but I see the inclusion of web-links as commercial spam. However, I would welcome an independent view of someone with knowledge of North Wales. Many thanks. Velela Velela Talk 12:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Hogyn Lleol. In a July/August 2010 policy discussion (at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 34#Does WP:NOTMYSPACE apply to secret pages?), community consensus was that the policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not prohibits secret pages.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Acalamari 18:42, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hogyn Lleol, I've reviewed the article and found it very informative and interesting. I've given some way ahead pointers to improve the article further. Don't be scared to update or delete other users work, especially if uncited. Be brave.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nia Medi.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Thanks for creating the new Etymology section. Do any of those sources explain why the standard word order in Welsh - noun, adjective - has apparently been reversed here? Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 15:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Have just added this to Literary Welsh morphology :
In poetry, however, and to a lesser extent in prose, most adjectives may occur before the noun they modify, but this is a literary device. [1] It is also seen in some place names, such as Harlech (hardd + llech) [2] and Glaslyn.

Bread of Heaven
I enjoyed your collection of flags at the top of this page.
I know (the English version of) the hymn that includes the line "bread of heaven". In fact, it is right up at the top of my favorites. But please tell me what is the specific connection between Welsh rugby and "bread of heaven".
Thanks, Wanderer57 ( talk) 22:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Cwm Rhondda is a very well known Welsh hymn tune. First performed in 1907. Cwm Rhondda translates as "the Rondda Valley" in English, and more often than not, sung to the words: Guide me, O thou great Redeemer. Wales rugby union supporters adopted it years ago, although the reason is not understood, apart from the fact that it is an inspiring song which everyone knew (Sundays in chapel) and could keep repeating, and repeating... I think it splendid.
- It was sung at the funerals of both Princess Diana and the Queen Mother, and at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
- Gareth Griffith-Jones ( talk) 23:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- It is indeed splendid, both tune and words. The version I learned (in the United Church of Canada) began Guide me, O thou great Jehovah.
- The part of the story I did not know was its adoption by the Rugby union. A great anthem, known to everyone in Wales. I guess it is a natural. Wanderer57 ( talk) 03:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
