Talk:Llandrindod Wells

message: Phileasfox's bit about Thomas Jones needs checking. The National Library of Wales gives his dates as 1742-1803 and The Grove Dictionary of Art says "(b Trevonen, Powys, 26 Oct 1742; d Pencerrig, Powys, 9 May 1803)". This would make for a very "early contribution[] to the impressionist movement" and puts him well before "the height of Llandrindod Well's fame as a Victorian Spa Playground".

message: Does anyone have some photos we can use? - 2 or 3 would be ideal, eg. one showing the architecture, one of the lake, and maybe onw of Temple Gardens bustling with people and tents in Victorian Week. Bards 06:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Photos?

message: A lot of this article sounds like a tourist brochure! Needs toning down and getting rid of stuff which doesn't really tell the global wikipedia reader anything really relevant and noteworthy about the place, IMNSHO.

replies: text: A nice rewrite, John. Though I think that the apparent absence of pubs should not be underplayed. The first time I went there I almost panicked! -- Picapica 11:39, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I made a mistake writing that bowling was indoors, John. It does look a lot better now, especially with the photos. But I notice you've taken out the walking clubs. I believe there is also a walking festival in September - or am I confusing that with something else? Bards 22:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

text: John - I've found that indoor bowling centre. It wasn't a mistake after all. Here you go, Radnorshire Indoor Bowling Centre. It is adjacent to the pavilion, near the outdoor bowling greens. Bards 22:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tourist brochure 

message: I've moved the text of Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival back into this article as it was looking a bit lost and folorn off on its own there :-) The Festival article is now a redirect to the appropriate part of this article.
I suggest that if and when the Festival text gets big enough that it threatens to overwhelm this article, then we move it into its own article and have something like 
"main article Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival" 
followed by a briefer summary in here. (That seems to be the Wikipedia way to do it, as exemplified by many other articles.)

thread_title:  Victorian Week article 

message: I'm reverting the change from
to
since 'typically' allows for items that are not present in all samples. If the fairground stuff isn't back in a year or two then let's revise the article then.
(Off Topic: I'm sorry to hear they didn't have the rides this year: the view over the town from the top of the big wheel is quite something!)

message: OpenStreetMap recently mapped most of Llandrindod. There are a few minor things missing which I'm sure locals will spot and add.

thread_title:  OpenStreetMap of Llandrindod Wells 

message: I've been reading the information provided on the Llandod page and in the features section was startled to read that we have acquired a red-light district. Now whilst I'm sure this has given someone a bit of a laugh I feel that it's inappropriate to have this sort of childish misinformation on Wikipedia. How does one address this issue and correct this please?

message: Very simple post here! Those approximating the ll as kl, I want to make it very clear that I agree with using the correct ipa symbol and not an approximation. However, if you really want to be persistent in trying to use alternatives, may I suggest thl? it might sound a bit awkward to pronounce but it really does appear in words (consider athlete, breathless and even the town Bethlehem) personally I always articulated the thl in these words as the Welsh ll sound and only recently realised it! It might not be perfect, but it’s wildly closer than the unwieldy kl sound (which is extremely different to the ll and never fails to enrage me when people use it as an alternative) CitrusSoEpic (talk) 15:40, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ll approximation. I hope those fighting in edit history see this.
