Talk:Cardiff Castle

thread_title: Photographs

message: I just swapped around the logo and photo of the castle so that an image of the castle is now the lead picture; it seemed odd to relegate the subject of the article to second place below a logo. That got me thinking, is the logo really worth including? It's non-free and I'm not sure if it adds that much. The fair use rationale for the logo reads

replies: text: I agree that the logo adds very little. The article is about almost 2000 years of the building's history, not about the building's current owners. Daicaregos (talk) 13:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure the logo adds much as far as recognition is concerned; of far more importance in that regard are the photos of the castle itself. A coat of arms or logo can be a useful illutration at times, for example it might be useful on Bodiam Castle or Warkworth Castle to include the coats of arms of the owners as they were used for decoration of the respective buildings. But here I'm not sure it's necessary. If it was free it probably wouldn't be an issue as there's more than one way to illustrate an article, but I think it's worth asking how important the logo is considering it's copyrighted.

thread_title: Logo

message: At the moment, the article uses the harvnb templates for the citation, but doesn't use a matching citation template in the bibliography. This means that the "clickablility" function of harnvb linking the reference to the bibliography doesn't work. Also, where two books share the same date, the current style uses the title to differentiate in the harvnb template( e.g. "Crook (1981), William Burges And The High Victorian Dream, p. 271"), rather than the date + letter (e.g. " Crook (1983a), p. 271"), which is unusual. The templates don't also typically use the year, again unusual for this template.
What I'd like to propose is applying a "cite book" template to the bibliography; adding the year in for the citations (e.g. "Newman, p. 194" would appear as "Newman (1995), p. 194); and adjusting the inline citations for "Crook (1981), "William Burges And The High Victorian Dream" so to appear as "Crook (1981a)". This is covered by WP:CITEVAR, so I'm asking for consensus before doing so. Cheers! Hchc2009 (talk) 18:42, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Do it; it's only a start rated article, so any improvement would be well recieved. FruitMonkey (talk) 20:48, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes please!  I fear I may be responsible for the problem as citations are not my strong suit and slabs of the article are lifted - with the citations - from the article on William Burges.  I did this when attempting to create Wiki coverage of all of Burges's buildings.  User:Dr._Blofeld and I have plans to try to take this, and Castell Coch, to GA and your sorting the citations would be a great help.  Best regards.  KJP1 (talk) 06:11, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. One missing book filled in as well. I've got one other article to finish off now, then I'll turn and help out on this one. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If you had time to help that would be really appreciated.  Dr B.'s been raring to go for a while but I've been on a bit of a Wikibreak.  Additionally, whilst I know quite a lot about the Victorian re-build, and Dr.B's knowledge is wide-ranging and inexhaustible, I had thought we'd need assistance with the earlier periods of the castle's development.  And I really can't think of anyone better able to assist us on a castle article!  Thanks and regards.  KJP1 (talk) 19:03, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation style... 

message: As promised, I've gone through and done an initial stab at an expansion. I've got two addition works on order, so will return to the article once I've got those, but I think the bulk of the content is in there now. In the Victorian section I've undertaken a mild copy-edit, and removed some close paraphrasing that had crept in. In the current day bit, I've trimmed back some bits where I just couldn't find references. I've added in a plan, happy to tweak that if anyone sees something which is missing, and I've played around with the images a little. Hchc2009 (talk) 19:04, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
