replies: text: I have (reluctantly) now linked "Catraeth" to Battle of Catraeth, not because it's a battle but because the Wiki article goes some way to explaining what the Catraeth kingdom probably was.  It is already referred to in the citation.--Storye book (talk) 09:05, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

message: It is possible that the first element of the name Piercebridge is a contraction of the tribal name 'Brigantes'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.252.186 (talk) 13:24, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that; a good idea.  We need an online citation for this before adding it to the article: do you happen to know if there is one?  Thanks.--Storye book (talk) 22:30, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not know of one and that is why I didn't edit the article. I (an amateur toponymy sleuth) placed this idea in the talk page for the sake of introducing what I hoped to be an interesting speculation, which might in turn induce an academic to take the idea seriously. Who knows? That might lead to a possible citation one day. Cheers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.149.139 (talk) 23:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

text: And I'd just like to add for the record that, in my opinion, 'Pierce' is almost certainly a contraction/mutation of 'Brigantes'. Cheers again.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.149.139 (talk) 23:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't think you'll get any academic to take you seriously without (a) your own grounds for your assertion; (b) that citation; (c) your registration at Wikipedia so you can record this conversation for future reference and any academic genius who reads your idea in five years' time can message you with the results of his/her research and give you the credit.--Storye book (talk) 14:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: (a) 'pierce' and 'Brigantes' are alliterative (it takes a genius to spot it and, yes, I am an academic) (b) what citation? (c) I don't need to register at Wikipedia - the idea is now on the record. I am not looking for personal credit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.193.42 (talk) 23:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Why are trouts important for preservation?
Why is "transport" only about previous river crossings - shouldn't that be part of "history"?
And why was the former bridge upstream, when the roman bridge was most downstream and the modern bridge is the most upstream one of at least 4 bridges that have been here? 
And why is here more about the bridges than in Piercebridge_Roman_Bridge where is only a few sentences and a crude theory? 47.71.41.26 (talk) 08:25, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
