Talk:Chepstow

message: Would there be any objection to me removing some of the geograph (faux-)citations from the article? Although they link to some great photographs, I think their links are a little cluttered. --Jza84 |  Talk   15:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would more than welcome that - it was something I was meaning to get round to. The Geograph links originate from User:Jeremy Bolwell.  As a general point, as a local resident I am hoping to do further work on this article - I worked on it when a callow youth in my early days of WP involvement, and hope now to be able to get it to, if not FA standard, at least "good".  But it will depend on me being able to set aside some time to spend in the local library, so I'm not setting a timetable for it!  Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I got most of them in this edit. This place seems quite interesting. It would be great to see this article evolve into a GA! I don't think it would be too difficult either. From memory there is only one Welsh place article that is GA, and none at FA which is disappointing, but not off-putting :) --Jza84 |  Talk   15:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I have the motivation and a fair amount of local knowledge - hopefully I will find the time as well. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure you're aware of WP:UKCITIES, a resource I've helped to put together. I freely admit it's a little Anglocentric at the moment, but I think the layout and headings recommended shouldn't be a problem. If there are any issues, feel free to give me a nudge. :) --Jza84 |  Talk   16:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed - I've made one or two comments on there myself.  When I get round to writing, I'll welcome some advanced guidance on the technical details (referencing and so forth) and the process for getting articles appraised, at the very least.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems, from this source, that the WWII POW camp was at The Mount. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:41, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: (Number 197 in that list, for future reference.)   Just checked my copy of Wartime Memories ().  It says that the Mount was requisitioned for military officers' use, not as a POW camp.  There was a prisoners' hospital at St Lawrence, and a POW camp at Bulwark - which is confirmed by Ivor Waters (The Town of Chepstow).   Waters makes no mention of POWs at the Mount.  So... perhaps an error in the source?   Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:20, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

message: How far is it to the Severn?  It states this twice, once in the lead, once in geography, and they're inconsistent (2 miles vs 3 miles).  I checked a map - no way can I stretch this to 3 miles. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:48, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: What map are you using?  I checked it on an OS 1:25K map, following the midpoint of the river (not that it makes much difference), and the distance from the old bridge to a line west from Beachley Point is clearly over 3 mi / 5 km.  Obviously the distance from Thornwell is less, as is the straight line distance from the town centre to Sedbury Cliffs - but we are not measuring those, I assume.  Anyway, what do other sources say?  Clearly we should get rid of any inconsistency.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:06, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm measuring very badly. Maybe it is 3 miles, depending on how closely one follows the river curves, and starting from the old bridge or the castle. But this ought to be clear as to straight line vs river, and they do need to be consistent. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Grrr... (but it's quite a crap book).  Reluctantly, I'd settle for 2.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:30, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

message: ,  - the latest update to our Blue plaques article tells me that they have been manufactured in Chepstow since 2016, . Got to be worth a mention. Hope you're both keeping well. KJP1 (talk) 12:18, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the link!  A shame the WP article doesn't (yet) mention Ned, or indeed Chepstow....   Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Had we but World enough, and Time... Fear not, it very shortly will. I think a bit could also go in the Economy section here? KJP1 (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Added a bit to the article (and removed refs to OFS and Wilko, now closed).  Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:38, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
