replies: text: I have now split this section as discussed on Talk:Llŷn_Peninsula.  The content should not remain duplicated but for the sake of diplomacy I will leave the duplication for now.Fluidhomefront (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is just not acceptable. Whilst I would agree that the text on the subject both here and in the Llŷn article needs revising as it's not as coherent as it should be, the subject itself is entirely appropriate to this article, and the Llŷn one as well. Your proposal would in effect excise the topic from these two articles and bury it in an already long article on the Welsh language and an obscure new article that few people are likely to look for or read. The issue is dealt with in the article on Wales itself; if we were to follow your line of reasoning it would be conveniently excised (censored) from there as well. I shall bring the issue to the attention of the Wales wikipedia project so that other people's views can be heard. Please refrain from any move(s) or further edits here until this matter is discussed and resolved. Enaidmawr (talk) 00:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the 'league table' of school results because Estyn doesn't inspect schools annually, so the exam results cited won't necessarily be directly comparable. People may be aware that since 2001, the Assembly Government hasn't published individual school performance information. Information on individual schools is still available in prospectuses and governors’ annual reports, but adding them all together to produce a local league table may violate WP:SYNTH.

message: Does anyone know where the name of the county comes from?  Is it anything to do with being "white or fair" (from gwyn)?  Is it in any way related to the name Gwyneth, or is that just coincidence? Thrapper (talk) 08:11, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a section at Kingdom of Gwynedd#Etymology that discusses this - it is referenced, but there's no certainty over the place name derivation.  It seems to be related to (but may pre-date) the Roman name for the area, Venedotia.  Maybe some of that section should be copied into this article.  From that text, there doesn't seem to be a direct connection with the name Gwyneth.  However, over at Toponymical list of counties of the United Kingdom there is a suggestion that the meaning may derive from words meaning "the place of white-topped mountains".  That suggestion is unreferenced, and seems likely to me to be a dubious folk etymology - but I'm no expert.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:03, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
