Talk:Carmarthen

message: The article now includes a map so I removed the requested map template. Transpoman (talk) 18:05, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map request 

message: I've removed the photos containing 'copyright notices', per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#User-created_images.
There are plenty of Carmarthen pics out there, without resorting to ones which ignore Wikipedia guidelines.

replies: text: The recent Flame War between User:Rhyshuw1 and User:Darren Wyn Rees must come to an end. This adding and removal is extremely unhelpful to the project and the page. It is difficult to work out where this issue arises from, but as far as I can make out, Rhyshuw1 is adding photos with copyright notices when there are photos available without copyright, also he appears not to have made communication on this page to defend his actions. I would therefore back Darren Wyn Rees' position and revert to his changes. Adding photos and stating that you own them is against the ethos of wikipedia. We give away our words and photos when we place them on this site. If you can't release them, then don't add them, which is a shame becasu they are good pieces of work.FruitMonkey (talk) 07:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The removal of images with copyright notation on the images themselves is not a flame war.  I am merely following Wikipedia guidelines and anyone who deems that flammable has sensitive skin. :-)  --Darren Wyn Rees (talk) 07:32, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Use of images with Copyright Notice contained within them

message: Can we remove the claim that the origin of the name is disputed or at least provide some decent sources that show a different origin for the name?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by EoinBach (talk • contribs) 11:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Encyclopedia of Wales also supports EoinBach's point - the myrddin element in the name gave rise to the legend of a link to Merlin, but the original Brythonic name, Moridunum, contains the elements mor (sea) and din (fort). Pondle (talk) 15:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Sorry? The name doesn't include a reference to a hill, or to Merlin. The modern name is basically Caer (fort) added to myrddin, which is a corruption of Moridunum, or 'sea fort'. Pondle (talk) 11:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Considering there is so much disagreement about the name's origins (or at least a long-standing romantic desire to associate it with Merlin) an article section about the etymology of the name is needed. The relevant info is currently buried, unsourced and weasel worded, in the paragraph about Merlin. Sionk (talk) 05:14, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of name 

message: Imho, the amount of detail provided in the section Picton's monument would be a trifle excessive even without the long and tiresome inscription. The inscription would be more appropriately transferred to the article on Thomas Picton, though it's hardly notable, and I would rather see it deleted altogether. Does anyone have any argument for keeping it? Cheers Bjenks (talk) 18:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the info to a new page dedicated to this interesting monument.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 19:33, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
