Talk:Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion

message: I'm virturally certain that this is a veiw upstream, rather than downstream as the caption suggests. The Mynach flows through the crevice toward the viewer.
Do we need additional verification before a change is entered?

I am certain this is looking upstream too. I sampled it every month for 5 years in the 1970's and had to walk down the tourist trail to get to the Rheidol but had to go upsteam throuigh the Oak woods to sample the Mynach. Velela 19:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Getting an account is a good idea. A page abouot the many DB's is also good. Page names... less sure. Don't worry too much, they can always be moved William M. Connolley 08:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error in photo caption? 

message: I would like to invite discussion on how to implement the forthcoming changes to this entry. There are at least twenty Devil's Bridges throughout Europe (and still counting). These bridges provide fertile ground for Folkloristics and the study of the transmission of myth. My intention is to expand the scope of this page so it more appropriately reflects the collective nature implied by the title.
The primary subject of the current page is the well-known bridge in Wales . This remarkable bridge and it's environs have been a subject of wonder for centuries. It has even been mentioned that the area  was a tourism destination as far back as the Roman era. Perhaps the current contents merit their own page, and should be relocated and renamed?
The obvious problem with keeping the Wales and UK bridge information on the same page (after the page has been revised) is that the page will illustrate the Devil's Bridge myth as a widespread Faustian phenomenon which is applied to many bridges, but the page would include (and focus on) only two bridges. My plan is to go forward and add the changes to the top of the page (within the next day or two), and request advice and assistance in deciding how to handle the results.
I will add a disclaimer up front: I own a web page devoted to Devil's Bridges (which will soon be migrating to it's own url). I've been fascinated with the phenomenon ever since visiting the Wales bridge, and would like to help make Wikipedia's entry reflect the near-universal nature of this piece of history and folklore.
Thanks,

text: If there is more than one which is referred to in English as Devil's Bridge, then move Devil's Bridge to Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion and create a disambiguation page. — Dunc|☺ 12:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

text: OK, following today's revert war I've been bold and (more-or-less) made these changes, though I decided in the end that having both a "folklore" and a disambiguation page would be superfluous. I apologise doing a page move rather than creating a new article has made things a bit messy, but that's the way round that was suggested, and it should satisfy Duncharris's insistence that you "can't change the subject of an article". -- Blisco 18:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed revision to Devil's Bridge entry 

message: How does this sound?
* Move the Welsh Devil's Bridge to Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion
* Merge the Cumbria Devil's Bridge with Kirkby Lonsdale, with Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale as a redirect
* Move the general info to Devil's Bridge (folklore) (possibly with a small b)
* Link the lot with a disambiguation page.
To avoid the dab page from getting cluttered with irrelevancies, I suggest the list goes to Devil's Bridge (folklore). A Google search suggests that the Welsh one is by far the best known, with the Cumbria one in second place. Blisco 13:52, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposal for organisation

message: Somewhat confusing this one, isn't it! I see there was a revert war several years ago where someone understandably tried to change the subject of the article - it is largely about the bridges in the village rather than the village itself (the categories are all associated with the bridge). Ideally the bridge(s), as an important listed structure, should have their own article. As an alternative we could create a redirect for the bridge, pointing towards Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion and put the bridge categories there instead. This current article should be in categories for the village e.g. :Category:Villages in Ceredigion. 
The secondary question is what one would call the bridge redirect - Devil's Bridge (Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion)? Sionk (talk) 15:35, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
