diolch

Thanks for the help with pronunciation at Talk:Snowdon a few days back (I meant to thank you then but got distracted). A brief stint living in north Wales in 1990 has given me a misplaced confidence regarding my Welsh pronunciation, and I'm always making errors! PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 21:15, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Diolch yn fawr, Hogyn - a very informative discussion over there. I had always assumed it was pronounced "pug". I'm not sure if that's just a South Wales thing. Doubt it. I'll need to go back an correct on another editor's talk page where I was lurking. But it's not a word you hear very much these days, is it. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:35, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Bradley Wiggins edit

Hi, This edit of yours in Bradley Wiggins screwed up an image-inclusion. I'm not quite sure what method was used for it (search and replace?), but you might want to check edits you have done in the same way in other articles for similar errors. In kind regards Heb (talk) 02:51, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your note. Yes I used a tool (Advisor.js) to do some auto-edits, then realised afterwards that it was changing some image file names. I thought I'd subsequently checked all of these, but obviously I missed Wiggins. Apologies. I've since notified the tool author of this fault. Hogyn Lleol ★ ^(chat) 07:22, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Llys Helig

I was going to give this a total rewrite as the fairly recent legend seems just an explanation for some natural rock formations. I'll put the sources on the talk page - would you like to do this or shall I? Dougweller (talk) 10:03, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Please do it if you have time - I'm currently up to my eyeballs with work at this end! Hogyn Lleol ★ ^(chat) 17:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

WP:CITEVAR

WP:CITEVAR calls for the existing citation style of an article to be maintained when new citations are added. In your insertion of the reflinks tool for Prime Meridian you introduced cite xxx templates when the main template usage in the article was {{Citation}}. Could you describe your strategy for complying with WP:CITEVAR when using the Reflinks tool? Jc3s5h (talk) 18:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Apologies - my error. Please feel free to revert it (as I see you've done). Hogyn Lleol ★ ^(chat) 19:56, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Hogyn Lleol, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Cardigan Lifeboat Station has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:21, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

From Blaenffos, Pembrokeshire,
best wishes for 2017

from Tony Holkham (Talk) 15:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Hey, Thanks Tony. How thoughtful! Not been down your way since early May, and we're seriously missing the place!

Copying licensed material requires proper attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Visit Wales you included material from a webpage that is available under an Open Government Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:38, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

i will sort out a direct link when i get the time!

HL, IMHO this is a bit of a cheek, and I have left a message on his talk page. Not that I think it will do the slightest bit of good, but he makes me cross, and I don't understand why he's in such a hurry. Cheers, Tony. Tony Holkham (Talk) 20:40, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Commas

Hi Hogyn. I noticed you added two commas to the Blind Faith article and I felt like commenting on this, so here goes. I am an advocate of the serial comma myself, so I sympathize with you on generally wanting it to be used. There is however another strong school on this, as you likely know, and the absence of the serial comma is fully defensible according to this outlook. In the two cases specifically here concerned I think the absence is justifiable regardless, given the shortness of the two series and the absence of any possibility of ambiguity or confusion. I suggest that you not overly concern yourself with text that has been styled without the serial comma. Otherwise you will likely be bothering yourself unnecessarily, and/or giving the impression of being something of a pedantic fanatic in this regard.

Roy McCoy (talk) 16:30, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Roy. I am more than a little confused by your message. I didn't add two serial commas as you state, I removed them, and we appear to be in total agreement! Like you, I fully appreciate that there is a time and place for the serial comma, but this was not one of them (in your own words: "given the shortness of the two series and the absence of any possibility of ambiguity or confusion"). The gist of your message is along the lines that I go around adding unnecessary serial commas, to the point of "giving the impression of a pedantic fanatic", but that's not what I did! Regards, Hogyn Lleol (talk) 12:57, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

You're right, it isn't – my apologies for the confusion. I'm confused myself, wondering how I got it backwards. I was looking at the change rather than the page itself, but I should still have easily seen that the commas were removed rather than added. If you're into sixties music, by the way (as I may surmise from your having been on the Blind Faith page), you might be interested in following Music Trivia Game on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/musictriviagame/. The game serving as the source of the questions and answers on this page was published in 1984, so the music is all prior to that point. There are 848 questions/answers in all, some going back to classical music from past centuries and early jazz etc., but mostly centering on pop music from the fifties through early eighties. The related question here was: "379. Which group consisted of Clapton, Baker, Winwood and Grech?" (Note lack of comma.) I've just now posted: "387. Who sang the title song from the movie, 'The Rose'?" Cheers, Roy McCoy (talk) 13:42, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Link removal with AWB

Hi - could I ask you to be more careful using AWB to remove excessive links please? Your recent edits removed all links to Abergynolwyn from Abergynolwyn railway station and also Corris Railway from Aberllefenni. Both these links are important to the respective articles. I haven't checked your other edits - you may wish to do this yourself. Thanks. O Still Small Voice of Clam 11:22, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

OK, thanks. It shouldn't be removing all links, just duplicates, but I'll check. Hogyn Lleol (talk) 12:30, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
