Offhand ref 20 needs fillng out with the proper journal info, rather than just jstor.org.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:10, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Lede

• "as well as hillforts and standing stones" -provide some actual examples of the landmarks in the county

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• "and there is plenty for visitors to do and see." -avoid this sort of thing, it sounds too much like a travel guide.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• "More unsettled times" ="A turbulent period"?

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• "and more strife occurred during the English Civil War in the seventeenth century." -Can you add a bit about what happened in 1996, it was part of the county of Dyfed.

History

Can you find anything worth mentioning in 20th century to now?

Geography

• "The county is drained by several important rivers which flow southwards into the Bristol Channel, especially the River Towy, and its several tributaries, such as the River Cothi. The Towy is the longest river flowing entirely within Wales. Other rivers include the Loughor (which forms the eastern boundary with Glamorgan), the River Gwendraeth and the River Taf. The River Teifi forms much of the border between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, and there are a number of towns in the Teifi Valley which have communities living on either side of the river and hence in different counties. Carmarthenshire has a long coastline which is deeply cut by the estuaries of the Loughor in the east and the Gwendraeth, Tywi and Taf, which enter the sea on the east side of Carmarthen Bay. The coastline includes notable beaches such as Pendine Sands and Cefn Sidan sands.[7]" -is all this info in the paragraph supported by the Atlas? including the longest river?

Added extra reference. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

• I think you already linked Laugharne.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

• "Carmarthenshire is predominantly an agricultural county" -you repeat this in the economy section exactly.

Replaced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Landmarks

• "Carreg Cennen Castle, Dinefwr Castle, Kidwelly Castle, Laugharne Castle, Llansteffan Castle and Newcastle Emlyn Castle." -you could probably pipe a few of these by name only but the last one.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Transport

• Can you mention some of the railway hubs and roads passing through?

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
