thread_title:  UK county flags discussion 

message: I saw what  was doing with the Welsh government roles, and after doing some work on articles related to some members of the executive board of the Wales Rugby Union#Principals, I saw there is a gap relating to the separate roles of the WRU, e.g. sporting directors, head of rugby etc, such as the role of Nigel Walker (athlete), or the work Ryan Jones until 2020. Any ideas on approaching a new article relating to the structure of Wales' rugby board? Cltjames (talk) 00:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't know where to start, so I'll just ask a question - are these roles that might change their titles frequently over time, or are they very well-established? Deb (talk) 09:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, you raised a good question. After doing some research it seems the positions have changed name slightly over the past decade or so, but now there is some stability in the Chairman, CEO, member of the Professional Rugby Board (PRB). Here are some links about appointments on the WRU website, WRU board and Executive board. Perhaps these pages explain the set up now, but  is right, for how long are the exact names of the roles allocated for...? But I think the Executive Board set up is well enough explained to elaborate in an article. Cltjames (talk) 14:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have no problem with that, though I'm unlikely to be able to be of much assistance. Deb (talk) 14:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: After inspecting most of the other top tier playing rugby nations for comparison, it seems only Wales has a president list. Then, New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia are the only other articles that have included any mention of an executive list of board members. Rugby Australia has a potentially good article in creating a central hub for all rugby purposes, whilst New Zealand rugby have created a good Patron and Officers section with a table showing the personnel. Any ideas on what Wales' WRU could do better explain the corporate set up. I feel Welsh Rugby Union article is similar to the Australian and All Black articles I linked in showing the set up. But, there is a lot more that could be done for the Welsh article to better show the corporate structure for regions and women's game, as well as then the executive board set up, then also perhaps a table similar to the New Zealand article?

replies: text: Probabaly best expanding/creating "governance" at the Welsh Rugby Union article (combining the principals list?), and if the tables or other things from the AU or NZ articles can improve it then be free to base an expansion on those articles as a guide, and better to try to see if it works. Not into rugby, but be free to raise it on the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union, unless someone into Welsh rugby also replies here. DankJae 12:45, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Wales WRU Executive Board

message: There's an irritating gap here, Registered historic parks and gardens in Cardiff, where there should be an image of the gardens/grounds of Coryton House. I can find nothing suitable in Commons, or at Geograph. Google suggests that the site, now Tŷ Coryton special school, is virtually surrounded by development - superstore/hotel to the N, residential to the E - but with the trainline, the canal and a nature reserve to the S. It also looks well-wooded. I've no idea if a photograph from public land/the highway is possible. If any Cardiff-based editor has the time/inclination to find out, I'd be very grateful.

message: It appears that the Welsh Wikipedia articles on townships in :Burlington County, New Jersey (but not :cy:Burlington County, New Jersey itself) all show under Notable residents (Pobl nodedig) the same table of notable residents of the entire county. The repetition can be seen from the Commons listing of uses of the images, such as :commons:File:Cardiak.jpg#File usage on other wikis. When I try to edit one of the township pages, such as :cy:Florence Township, New Jersey, I can see that it's drawing the data from Wikidata, but I can't read Welsh, so I can't figure out whether the default display needs to be flipped from the county to the township, or even whether the list resides somewhere as a template transcluded onto the pages and would need to be edited there. 
I know this does not in any way affect English Wikipedia, but I'm hoping some of those who have this page watchlisted are also active on cy.wiki, or would otherwise be willing and able to go over there and sort this out. Thanks in advance! Yngvadottir (talk) 22:12, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like all the Notable People are listed as born in Burlington County, so I would have thought the best place for the information would be on :cy:Burlington County, New Jersey and not repeated on all township articles. I've no idea how the articles were generated, I expect cy.wici are using a clever bot way of generating content for the Welsh Wicipedia. I occasionally edit articles there, but don't create any from scratch. Sionk (talk) 12:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Maybe ask the question (in English) on the Talk page of Llywelyn2000, who seems to be managing the Bot (and heavily involved in cy.wici) - click on "Ychwanegu adran" to add a new section Sionk (talk) 13:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Oh yes, this is a problem I've had with other pages and have taken up with Llywelyn2000, but he didn't seem to agree that it was a problem. I'll have a quick look though. Deb (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I've deleted that section from articles where none of the names are relevant or have cywiki articles, and only left a couple where I could find Welsh-language articles for people who really were from those townships. I'm prepared to do this elsewhere if you can flag up problems. Deb (talk) 08:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
