Merger

Given that it is very unlikely that anyone would search for this under the article's name, and the fact that there is very little else to say about it, a merger seems the only sensible thing to do. Dougweller (talk) 14:22, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug! I have another fascinating subject for you. You may be correct about a merge, I'd have thought it notable as one of the first religious massacres perhaps. I'd like included some mention of the Reverend's opinion about it exciting the country to religious war and it's impact on Druidism I think is also worthy of a mention. It's not OR, this is a pretty big event in the history of Druidism. I wouldn't want to COI you with the Romans ;-) Paul Bedson (talk) 21:26, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Morgan's views don't seem especially significant here - he is a very minor figure, most well known for his involvement in trying to revive 'Celtic Christianity', and certainly not an objective commentator. I'd say his views belong only in his article. Dougweller (talk) 04:57, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A search on the phrase 'Menai Massacre' makes it glaringly obvious the phrase is hardly ever used - I think this all belongs in his article, this should just be a redirect. Dougweller (talk) 15:37, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess there are no ancient Druids left to argue with you and search for the term. Thanks also to DBachmann for creating Morgan's page and all his hard work on it. Fascinating reading. All I can say is that I would like his views mentioned. When there's only one recorded side to history (the victors) and a credible alternative viewpoint is put forward that fits with the facts (and that the uprising wasn't entirely due do Boudica's rape), I'd class that as notable enough for inclusion. It has gained weight amongst later sources. Morgan may be a minor figure, but I can find no better book on the druidic history of this time, he may have been the leading authority for centuries. I'd add that Tacitus and Cassius Dio are certainly not objective commentators either... Paul Bedson (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You still don't understand what we mean by notable or significant. For it to meet our criteria, the phrase would have to have been mentioned in other reliable sources. Dougweller (talk) 19:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I put Benjamin John's book in for the purpose of showing another reliable source. Is this not enough? Paul Bedson (talk) 23:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's sufficient to demonstrate that we should make no use of it here. Richard Williams Morgan was a minor and deeply eccentric figure who invented almost all of his history / theology. The reference is to his Saint Paul in Britain, which is not a work of serious history. This page is long-overdue for a name change. I'd suggest Roman conquest of Anglesey or Roman invasions of Anglesey, and if no relevant comment comes up in a week or two, I propose to make the change. Richard Keatinge (talk) 14:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. There's some relevant material in Anglesey#History. This was created by a now blocked fringe editor, one who took liberties with sources. Doug Weller (talk) 10:10, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, with that support I have not waited the week. The previous titles are now both redirects. Richard Keatinge (talk) 09:31, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Original research on Castell Bryn Gwyn

At this edit, now reverted, a paragraph was introduced consisting entirely of original research. (The references, some reliable, do not support the comments.) Richard Keatinge (talk) 16:30, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
