Talk:Dwygyfylchi

pronunciation[edit]

I have no idea if this has an established English pronunciation. But I can take a stab at the Welsh. — kwami (talk) 04:52, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Obviously better if we can eventually source it, but it's helpful in the meantime. I'm a little curious though.
A) English typically only has ə (almost definitionally) in unstressed syllables and uses ʌ for similar stressed sounds. Is there a reason you felt it was closer to a schwa in the stressed syllable? or you were just basically going for an "uhh" sound?
B) You changed the respelling from "u" (ʌ) to "uu" (the completely unrelated ʊ) without changing the IPA. Which did you think was correct? I've edited the respell to match the IPA but, looking at the editing history, that may not have been what you intended. —

It's always good to see an article expanded. But I am starting to notice quite a large degree of duplication with the Penmaenmawr article. What do other editors think? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When you take into account the geographical close proximity of Dwygyfylchi and Penmaenmawr towards one and other then it is no wounder that they would share histories, travel routes, amenities, etc... Two quick examples for instants is the fact that Penmaenmawr Golf culb is actually in Dwygyfylchi village but has members from both communities, vice versa Penmaenmawr phoenix football club is the local team for both communities and is geographically located dircetly between both Penmaenmawr & Dwygyfylchi. So with regards to the comment of duplication between the two locations, of course to someone unfamiliar with the local area this would seem the case when in fact the two locations inevitably share many similarities and it would be inaccurate towards either location to state that the same content did not apply.

Noticed a far bit of grammatical altering regarding the article, keep up the good work. Also any additional new information towards the article would be good. 193.163.248.30 (talk) 12:32, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like both of the landscape images ~~need a "fair use" explanation added or they~~ cannot be used and will be deleted. The previous image (with the roadsign) was from geograph.com via Commons and was free use. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've just noticed this too (despite the fact that I moved one of the images around). I'm not an expert on fair use explanations, but I think it would be prudent to remove the 'offending' images. Alternatives could easily be uploaded to Commons by a local resident with a digital camera/phone - there's no reason for using copyrighted images.

The pervious picture which this replaced was also originally from Google Earth Street cam if you look & it's not a commercial use. With all this information & having read the how to upload I honestly thought it was ok. If not I'll remove it then. Am I right in understanding that no Google maps street cam pictures are allowed to be upload to Wikipedia in instants like this? Once again, thanks in advance for your help and being polite.

The previous image was from geograph.com, not google earth; its copyright is held by Eric Jones, who has granted free use with some limitations. Any image used must have permission from the respective copyright holder. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 13:55, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for any confusion caused. I had not realised they were both from GoogleStreetview images which are never allowed. I have adjusted my comment above. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:18, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article states Gwddw Glas translates as green valley this is of course incorrect Glas is blue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.126.194.74 (talk) 08:42, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Glas" is also used for "green" in old Welsh (as well as grey), it's only in modern Welsh the sense is restricted to "blue". When you find it in placenames it's often clear "green" is meant.Svejk74 (talk) 09:34, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
