Boundary?

Is the post 1994 Carmarthenshire the same area as the pre-1974 Carmarthenshire ?? Eregli bob (talk) 16:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

No, Clynderwen has moved to Pembrokeshire but the rest remains the same.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   23:24, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Spanish?

I'd like to know if there has ever been a Spanish version of this page. There was a user who added basque to the page "Cymraeg" and removed the Spanish... Spacebungle (talk) 07:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

School league tables

I removed the 'league table' of school results because Estyn doesn't inspect schools annually, so the exam results cited won't necessarily be directly comparable. People may be aware that since 2001, the Assembly Government hasn't published individual school performance information.[1] Information on individual schools is still available in prospectuses and governors’ annual reports, but adding them all together to produce a local league table may violate WP:SYNTH.

Llwynywermod

I have removed this revision:

Llwynywermod in Carmarthenshire is the Welsh home of the Prince of Wales.

which is commercial and certainly does not belong withion the Lead section.
In my view should not be included at all.
What do others think?

Offhand ref 20 needs fillng out with the proper journal info, rather than just jstor.org.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:10, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Lede

• "as well as hillforts and standing stones" -provide some actual examples of the landmarks in the county

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• "and there is plenty for visitors to do and see." -avoid this sort of thing, it sounds too much like a travel guide.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• "More unsettled times" ="A turbulent period"?

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• "and more strife occurred during the English Civil War in the seventeenth century." -Can you add a bit about what happened in 1996, it was part of the county of Dyfed.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

History

Can you find anything worth mentioning in 20th century to now?

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Geography

• "The county is drained by several important rivers which flow southwards into the Bristol Channel, especially the River Towy, and its several tributaries, such as the River Cothi. The Towy is the longest river flowing entirely within Wales. Other rivers include the Loughor (which forms the eastern boundary with Glamorgan), the River Gwendraeth and the River Taf. The River Teifi forms much of the border between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, and there are a number of towns in the Teifi Valley which have communities living on either side of the river and hence in different counties. Carmarthenshire has a long coastline which is deeply cut by the estuaries of the Loughor in the east and the Gwendraeth, Tywi and Taf, which enter the sea on the east side of Carmarthen Bay. The coastline includes notable beaches such as Pendine Sands and Cefn Sidan sands.[7]" -is all this info in the paragraph supported by the Atlas? including the longest river?

Added extra reference. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

• I think you already linked Laugharne.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

• "Carmarthenshire is predominantly an agricultural county" -you repeat this in the economy section exactly.

Replaced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Landmarks

• "Carreg Cennen Castle, Dinefwr Castle, Kidwelly Castle, Laugharne Castle, Llansteffan Castle and Newcastle Emlyn Castle." -you could probably pipe a few of these by name only but the last one.

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Transport

• Can you mention some of the railway hubs and roads passing through?

Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth Decent effort, will pass once addressed, cheers.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for taking on this review. I will deal with the points you raise shortly. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:45, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

All done, I think. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Civil parishes

I believe the table for civil parishes is incorrect and misleading. The parishes are ecclesiastical parishes and may or may not equate to civil parishes. I have taken the similar table out of the Pembrokeshire article and put it into the List of hundreds of Wales, where it is more appropriate. Should I do likewise with this one? Tony Holkham (Talk) 14:54, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Tony Holkham: There are no civil parishes in Carmarthenshire - or anywhere in Wales. They were all abolished in 1974, being replaced by the present system of communities. See also Talk:Carew, Pembrokeshire#Parish?. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:18, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes of course, we agree on that. The question I was asking was should the table be deleted or does it have a place somewhere else? Tony Holkham (Talk) 21:34, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

I wonder whether this discussion might be centralised on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wales. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

As far as I know it only affects three counties: Pembs, Carms and Ceredigion, but by all means move to the project if it spreads. Tony Holkham (Talk) 08:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

There's also a similar table in Denbighshire (historic), which is not in context and could be misleading because of the probable differences between ecclesiastical and civil parishes of the same name (which I have found in the case of Pembrokeshire). I will mention this at the WikiProject.  Done Tony Holkham (Talk) 14:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
