== New book ==

You may have noticed from my recent hackings at [[James Valentine (rugby union)]] that I have a new book in my arsenal, a who's who of English rugby internationals. If you have any other articles where you are unsure if the player turned pro in 1896 then drop me a line and I'll try to see if I can answer your query. Cheers [[User:FruitMonkey|FruitMonkey]] ([[User talk:FruitMonkey|talk]]) 11:42, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

:Here's one for the new book… [[George Marsden (rugby)]] won 3-caps for England (RU) in 1900, i.e. after the schism, and he also won a cap for England (RL) in 1905 whilst playing for [[Bradford Park Avenue A.F.C.|Bradford]] (now [[Bradford Park Avenue A.F.C.]]), but which club was he at when he won his England (RU) caps?

Another one for you… where was [[Harry Bedford (rugby)|Harry Bedford]] playing his club rugby when winning his England caps of 1889 and 1890? I have a [[Batley Bulldogs|Batley]] versus [[Morley R.F.C.]] conflict. Best Regards. [[User:DynamoDegsy|DynamoDegsy]] ([[User talk:DynamoDegsy|talk]]) 12:12, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

:I have no information of him switching to League. He was Morley for all three of his caps, so I think he was Batley first then Morley. [[User:FruitMonkey|FruitMonkey]] ([[User talk:FruitMonkey|talk]]) 14:28, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

And another one for you… there's a redlink to [[Colin Hall (rugby union)]] on the [[List of England national rugby union players]] article, the [http://www.espnscrum.com/england/rugby/player/1467.html espnscrum] website names him as Colin, but the [http://www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk/halloffame/honoursboard.php Gloucester Rugby Hall of Fame] names him as Charles. He appears to be the older brother of "one of my chaps", named [[Billy Hall (rugby league)|Billy Hall]]. Any clues in '''the''' book? Best Regards.

I've added a couple of queries about [[Penydarren Park]], and [[John Bevan (rugby)]] above, but here'e one for your book. [[Samuel Houghton]] won two caps for England (RU), but his second cap was won in 1896, 4-months after the club he played for; [[List of defunct rugby league clubs#England|Runcorn]] had turned professional. So which club was he at when he won his second cap? Best Regards. [[User:DynamoDegsy|DynamoDegsy]] ([[User talk:DynamoDegsy|talk]]) 17:43, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

== [[Eric Boon]] ==

I've looked into your query on [[Talk:Eric Boon]] and it appears that this match was indeed the first boxing match to be shown live on television, both on BBC television and via the same live relay in a few cinemas (via massive screens). Thought that was quite interesting for 1939.  '''[[User:Bob Castle|Bob]]''' <small>'''[[User talk:Bob Castle|talk]]'''</small> 00:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

== A bit of advice please ==

You're a man who's had a lot of stuff in DYK - can you give me some advice? I'm thinking of doing a little article on Barry Holmes, 4 caps for England in 1949. My idea for a DYK hook would be that he is the only man to have been capped at senior level by both England and Argentina - is that worth a try? (no pun intended!)--[[User:Bcp67|Bcp67]] ([[User talk:Bcp67|talk]]) 19:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for your comment. I'll give the article a go, although in truth most of the info is in the scrum.com article so it'll be more of a paraphrase than anything truly original. You'll have noticed that Clem Thomas appeared again, maybe not to your liking...--[[User:Bcp67|Bcp67]] ([[User talk:Bcp67|talk]]) 20:04, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

==[[High Sheriff of Warwickshire]]==

Help. I've recently been updating the article on Sewallis Shirley (MP) and the Peerage has him as HS of Warwickshire for 1884, but the current list does not list him at all. Do you know which is correct? Thanks in advance FruitMonkey (talk) 09:06, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I can throw some light: the [[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]] has him High Sheriff in 1884, but of County Monaghan. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:11, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
The actual quote is:

Shirley, Sewallis Evelyn (1844–1904), politician and founder of the Kennel Club, was born at Ettington Park, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, on 15 July 1844, the only son (there were three daughters) of Evelyn Philip Shirley (1812–1882), landowner, politician, and antiquary, and his wife, Mary Clara Elizabeth (1823–1894), eldest daughter of Sir Edmund Hungerford Lechmere. After schooling at Eton College, he matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1864, but did not take a degree. His family had a large estate at Lough Fea, Carrickmacross, co. Monaghan, Ireland, and in 1868—still in his his early twenties—he was elected Conservative MP for co. Monaghan, a constituency previously represented by his father. Pledged to defend the protestant constitution, he spoke only rarely in the House of Commons, and lost the seat in 1880, when Liberal supporters of tenants' rights were successful. He was heavily defeated when he stood against an Irish nationalist for the southern division of co. Monaghan in 1885. He was involved in local affairs, as a justice of the peace, deputy lieutenant, and high sheriff (1884) in co. Monaghan, but relations with the tenant farmers on his Irish estates, which he inherited in 1882, were very poor. In the agricultural depression of the 1880s there were many forced evictions, which led to the Shirley estate being a target of the nationalists' Plan of Campaign in 1887.

I noticed your biography, excellent work. Actually I spotted his entry in some old dictionaries of welsh biography in google books of which I'm certain massive amounts are missing, especially pre 19th century.. Tha's the spirit of wikipedia you create the village he was born in, I expand it and in turn create [[Dyfnant Forest]]. The best way to build us.. If there are any Welsh historical topics or villages you want started/expanded or collaborate with just let me know.

Robert Gate's "Gone North" has [[Wick Powell]] playing for [[Rochdale Hornets]], do you have any other details of this? The reason I ask is there appears to be a Rochdale Hornets' player named W.

==Wales Coat of Arms==
Hi there.

Last night, I added the Royal Badge of Wales to the coat of arms section on the Wales template and it appears that you removed it, stating that this was a case for a discussion page; if you could, could you explain the purpose why the coat of arms shouldn't be on the template.

Thanks.

JAU123 [[User:JAU123|JAU123]] ([[User talk:JAU123|talk]]) 10:08, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
: I have read the thread and it all makes sense to me; it's seen as a modern creation and isn't seen as the official coat of arms of Wales. However; it does contain within the badge, the coat of arms of Llywelyn the Great, which is the popular if not official coat of arms; it also contains the scroll: "Pleidiol Wyf I'm Gwlad" which is from the National Anthem of Wales; and the royal badge is used by the Welsh Assembly Government on their documents and papers and their "Assembly Measures" so the status of the Royal Badge of Wales is questionable on this occasion. If there's any other coat of arms that could be used for the template I would be happy to use it.

: Thanks.

That looks like the fella, but I have a couple of queries; first, how did manage to find him so quickly? The blackandambers website doesn't seem that easy to search!!! and second, the 'Welsh stars still had a rugby ball in wartime' page infers that he had already defected to rugby league, but the blackandambers website has him at Newport until 1947, and the 'Victory International' matches took place between December 1945 and April 1946, so wouldn't he have still been a rugby union player at that time?

:::If a player switched to league, the chances are they came from Swansea, Newport, Cardiff or Llanelli, therefore I have the black and ambers site on my favourites [http://www.blackandambers.co.uk/PastPlayers.aspx here] and books for the other three. If the player was with the likes of Neath or a Valleys club I hit problems. Luckily, in places such as the Rhondda, you got frog marched to the train station if you had a Yorkshire accent so that forced the scouts to the major cities. I have W. E.

== Karl Francis edits ==

Hi FruitMonkey.

Thank you for your edits on the Karl Francis page.

I would like to know why you have removed the rest of the quote from the linked article on the page I added yesterday?
(...plus a whole paragraph of a cut and paste job from an external site.)

I presume you have posted the original content that only partially quotes "In 1995 he was appointed the Head of Drama at BBC Wales,[5] a role he held until 1997 and which the British Film Institute's Screenonline website described as "an unsatisfactory two years"

I meerly added the rest of the quote from the article giving a full picture rather than just "an unsatisfactory two years" which is not very fair. Don't you agree? I thought this was supposed to be 'unbiased' information here like the BBC (laughs to myself!).

Partially quoting any comment can give entirely the wrong picture and even the opposite meaning to its original intention. This is unacceptable editing in my own and Karl Francis' opinion too.

Please can you not remove this complete quote again.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Pixlmixer|Pixlmixer]] ([[User talk:Pixlmixer|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pixlmixer|contribs]]) 10:49, 12 August 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Rhondda Cynon Taf ==
Interesting that the only references on RCT relate to the exploitation of Wales by foreign companies; no change there, then (Brofiscin is less than a mile from my home). You [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rhondda_Cynon_Taf&curid=351004&diff=447039666&oldid=447031894 seem to know] which stats the IP is referring to. Can you provide the reference? I'd like to read it. Thanks, [[User:Daicaregos|Daicaregos]] ([[User talk:Daicaregos|talk]]) 22:42, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

(Transcluded from [[User talk:Daicaregos|my talk page]])

:The reason I deleted the input regarding Welsh language in RCT is the vagueness not only of the information (no source given), but also the main resource point. I agree that the number of people in RCT who state they can speak (or read or write) Welsh is [http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-225846 roughly 21%]. But the question they ask, is to "some level". If you state that 21% of people in an area speak Welsh, then the reader will expect them to be fluent. Not pigeon Welsh and not to GCSE level (O-level in old money). The census does not ask this, it asks if the person believes they are a Welsh speaker. This is not the same as being a Welsh speaker. We can state that when asked in the 2001 census, 21.1% of repliers stated that they has 'some skill' in speaking Welsh, but nothing more. The difference between Llanelli and Merthyr in the ability to speak fluent Welsh is immense, and when we report facts they must be accurate.[[User:FruitMonkey|FruitMonkey]] ([[User talk:FruitMonkey|talk]]) 00:15, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi.  I've started to do the Good Article Review on [[Rugby Union]].  There has been a fair amount of time since the article was nominated, so it is possible the article degraded a little in the interim.

(If you need more time, let me know.)  I'll leave additional comments but the citation issues could prove to be one of those major issues that could change the text a bit if sources can't be found to support statements and text needs to be removed. --[[User:LauraHale|LauraHale]] ([[User talk:LauraHale|talk]]) 01:46, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

== [[Dai Fitzgerald]] ==

[[Dai Fitzgerald]]'s article states that joined [[Leigh Centurions|Leigh]] before the 1895 schism, and so he didn't change codes at that time, but I assume he could have been both a rugby union (if he played in the 1894/5 season) and rugby league (if he played in the 1895/6 season) player for Leigh. Would you know whether he played union and league for Leigh? As an aside, I went to see a play called [http://www.threestonesmedia.com/#/11 Broken Time] about the rugby schism, and very good it was too!!! Best Regards.

However, it appears that "Maule, Raymond (1992). The Complete Who's Who of England Rugby Union Internationals.

This could be due to no one really caring, although some of the more talkative members of the project have been pretty quiet for a while.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/MacRusgail][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bob247] It is split pretty evenly 3:2 not counting the league members. I think we both want some consistency more than anything else and I am willing to go with either to get this, although I do see some problems if we conflict with the league naming system. I have thought about opening up a [[WP:RFC|request for comment]], but would rather keep it in house as much as possible. Do you have any suggestions?

:I do not care enough about this to fight you over it, but would at least like to get something out of the discussion. As a compromise I will ignore all the current "rugby union player" disambiguations for now. I will look through the rest and move them to either "rugby" or "rugby union" depending on whether they played both codes or not.

==Swansea==

You recently deleted,twice, my link on Swansea to the Welsh Football association site where it describes more Welsh football games being played in Swansea in 2012. While taking your point on where the line is drawn re National teams playing in Swansea,I still believe that is worth a mention.

:I came across these edits as the page in on my watchlist, and just thought I'd mention that it would be wise to avoid an edit war. I agree with Fruit Monkey, in that it is not notable to add to the page of every town where Welsh national matches are infrequently or rarely played. It suffices to just mention Cardiff.

== Section retitled: '''''Cwm Rhondda''''' ==


'''I show a posting below that I received last night on my talk page, together with my reply, and the user's response:'''<blockquote>

'''Bread of Heaven'''

I enjoyed your collection of flags at the top of this page.

I know (the English version of) the hymn that includes the line "bread of heaven".  In fact, it is right up at the top of my favorites.  But please tell me what is the specific connection between Welsh rugby and "bread of heaven".

Thanks, [[User:Wanderer57|Wanderer57]] ([[User talk:Wanderer57|talk]]) 22:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

:''Cwm Rhondda'' is a very well known Welsh hymn tune.  First performed in 1907.  ''Cwm Rhondda'' translates as "the Rondda Valley" in English, and more often than not, sung to the words: ''Guide me, O thou great Redeemer''.  Wales rugby union supporters adopted it years ago, although the reason is not understood, apart from the fact that it is an inspiring song which everyone knew (Sundays in chapel) and could keep repeating, and repeating... I think it splendid.

:It was sung at the funerals of both Princess Diana and the Queen Mother, and at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.


:[[User:Gareth Griffith-Jones|Gareth Griffith-Jones]] ([[User talk:Gareth Griffith-Jones#top|talk]]) 23:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

::It is indeed splendid, both tune and words.   The version I learned (in the United Church of Canada) began ''Guide me, O thou great Jehovah''.   

::The part of the story I did not know was its adoption by the Rugby union.  A great anthem, known to everyone in Wales.  I guess it is a natural.  [[User:Wanderer57|Wanderer57]] ([[User talk:Wanderer57|talk]]) 03:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)</blockquote>
