message: In Welsh, the river is the Taf (pronounced Tarv). However, in English, it is the river Taff. This is how it is pronounced by the vast majority of the people of the town, and using this avoids confusion with the River Taf (English spelling) or a river in West Wales.. which is where you currently link to if you press on the Taf link in this page.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.56.246 (talk) 21:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some confusion about the status of Trefforest.  At one point the article says that Pontypridd incorporates the village of Trefforest; at another, it refers to neighbouring Trefforest, and this page has a question as to whether Tom Jones was born in one or the other.  The Trefforest article simply states that it is a small village to the south-east of Pontypridd. Countersubject 16:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This page should reflect both Pontypridd the town and the greater Pontypridd area.  I dont think you could have seperate pages for both.  Some things will be repeated such as Tom Jones listed in Trefforest and Pontypridd but I think this is fine as Tom Jones is from both Trefforest and Pontypridd. harris 578 (talk) 21:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a fair call, but maybe we should start the page with 'Pontypridd is a town and a community in Glamorgan...' and then go and differentiate in the opening statement. Ponty is not alone in this issue, most larger towns are either communities, like Llantrisant or Caerphilly, or are just towns that swallow their smaller neighbours, like Treorchy. Actually just looked it up in the 'cyclopedia of Wales and Ponty is the second largest community in Wales behind Barry. The settlements within the community are stated as Cilfynydd, Glyntaff, Glyncoed, Hawthorn, Rhydyfelin. Treforest and Upper Boat. I'm happy to update as such if anyone thinks this is a good start (and agree with the information).FruitMonkey (talk) 21:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I have no objections if you put that.  I'll leave it up to you or maybe you want some more feedback and want to leave it a while.  I suppose it is a bit of a tricky one. harris 578 (talk) 06:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I am going to start an article on Ynysangharad park but just need some advice on the naming. I have always known it as Ynysangharad park but I think its official name is Ynysangharad War Memorial Park. Which name do you think should be used? Kosack (talk) 11:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Pontypridd's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "RCT1":
From Ynysybwl: http://webapps.rhondda-cynon-taff.gov.uk/heritagetrail/taff/ynysybwl/ynysybwl.htm

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Pontypridd]] 

message: The 2nd edit of an IP whose other two were both pretty clearly in bad faith removed from Pontypridd#External links the following:
: * Pontypridd: Official Pontypridd website
The site's sarcastic & IMO anti-social tone raise questions in my mind about its value, the ad for the site-builder who created it, and the prominent "Visit Our Sponsors" appeal do suggest to me that the remover's description of the lk as "spam" may be justified. Others in a better position (than i who 30 minutes ago knew not of Ponty's existence) to put it in perspective may want to consider whether reversion of the removal is in order.--Jerzy•t 06:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

message: ,  you're inserting ridiculous stuff about records for eating peaches and time spent seat-warming, in the Sports section. WP is hard enough to maintain without it being used as a playground for a good laugh. This sort of editing is disruptive and likely to get you banned. But it is quite funny. But please stop.
