Talk:Cadair Idris

message: Is this worth mentioning? See here for examples. Seems to happen often enough to be of interest. RayGirvan 00:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Volcano myth

message: The Charles Kingsley quote is nice, but it merely repeats that the identification as a volcanic crater is false - if his reasons are still valid could they be included? And if they are not, a brief statement as to why it looks like but isn't a volcanic crater would be helpful

message: This should either be left out as it already features within the Infobox, or Template:Infobox_Mountain should be edited to include it on all Mountains 
This would assist be reducing the number of individual edits required and will reduce the requirement for individual reverts "TheNose | Talk" 12:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice this has been added to WikiProject King Arthur. What has Cader Idris got to do with him especially? garik 23:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it was in :Category:Arthurian locations. Judging by the article, I'd assume this is because of the "Myths and legends" section, which says it is one of several locations bearing the name "Arthur's Seat".--Cúchullain t/c 17:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I thought it might have been mentioned in some Arthurian story (though that would have surprised me, as I'm sure I'd have heard about it!).  The thing is, it clearly doesn't bear the name Arthur's Seat, as the myths and legends section points out.  Cadair Idris translates as "Idris's Seat", and Idris was a giant.  There's no reason at all, apart from wishful thinking, to suppose that Idris is a corruption of Arthur, or another name for him. garik 18:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

text: So I see. If the only connection between Cadair Idris and the Arthurian legend is in one fantasy novel, perhaps it can be removed from the Arthurian locations category, and the project tag can be removed. Personally I don't mind the project keeping an eye on it, but if you feel differently go ahead and remove it.--Cúchullain t/c 18:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  In the 18th and 19th centenaries, when tourism was invented in Britain Arthur was a big selling point. The etymology of the name Idris is something along the lines of "great warrior" - Who was the greatest of Celtic warriors? Arthur, of course! So "translating" Cader Idris into Arthur's Seat had major tourist bucks benefits (see John Rhŷs Vol 1 p203 Celtic Mythology Welsh and Manx). As far as I know there are NO actual stories connecting Cader to Arthurian legend.AlwynapHuw (talk) 04:31, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  King Arthur 

message: As Llyn Cau is much more relevent to the mountain itself than Tal-y-Llyn, wouldn't it be more sensible to have an image of Llyn Cau (which would also show the chair-like nature of the mountain which is discussed in the article)replacing the image of Tal-y-Llyn?

replies: text: Do you have such an image? We are limited in the set of images we can add to the article. They must be uploaded to Wikipedia and be freely licensed. If you have a good quality image you can donate to the project, I'm sure it would improve the article. Best, Gwernol 15:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I do indeed have such an image :-) I've uploaded and edited. Asvasv (talk) 14:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Llyn Cau

message: Can someone tell me the exact meaning of the words??? If Idris = Arthur, then it is very interesting, because it is a common name in turkey and in other muslim countries. 77.248.185.98 (talk) 10:32, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
