thread_title: MP who didn't vote against

message: I don't know about UK english, but in American english, the term "drowned" carries the connotation of suffocation and death by submersion in water.  The wording in the article is a little strong.  Mabe "submersed" would carry less negative impact.  None of the buildings "died", except in some metaphorical sense.

message: I'm not sure why the big furor over a rather minor example of eminent domain.  Were the displaced citizens not compensated for their loss?  There's nothing in the article, but I find it hard to believe that people were pushed out without compensation.  Any information on this? Tim Bird (talk) 16:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: This appears to be the Commons vote but it didn't have 35/36 Welsh MPs all voting against as several names are absent. This BBC piece says only 24 Welsh MPs voted against. Timrollpickering 23:53, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

message: I've removed the edit from ip address '193.63.87.228' which states "NB: This is factually incorrect, the cemetery was walled and capped with concrete in 1964 and all headstones removed to the newly built nearby remembrance chapel." The talk page is the place to carry out these kinds of discussions, if the editor has a better source then they should update the main page using encyclopaedic language and remove the contradicting sentence entirely. They may be entirely correct, I have no idea, that's why we use sources!  Telenarn (talk) 17:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: I'm confused by several of the dates.
The bill was brought before Parliament in 1960, passed in 1962, and the valley was flooded in 1965, but "the community waged an eight-year effort, ultimately unsuccessful, to prevent the destruction of their homes".  Is the eight years referring to a movement that goes all the way back to 1957?
Also, "The building of the reservoir was instrumental in an increase in support for the Welsh nationalist party, Plaid Cymru, during the late 1950s".  It increased support for Plaid Cymru a decade before it was built?

message: Removed reference to the flooding being central to W.G. Sebald's 2001 novel Austerlitz. The flooded Welsh village featured in the novel is Llanwddyn, which was covered by Lake Vyrnwy reservoir in 1888, not Capel Celyn. Updated Llanwyddn page. Suffolker (talk) 23:02, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
