Talk:Caernarfon Castle

Caernarfon castle or Caernarfon Castle?
There's another article at Caernarfon castle. You might want to merge the two or something. -Nommo — Preceding undated comment added 12:53, 3 July 2003 (UTC)

What are the castle's dimensions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.41.135 (talk • contribs) 14:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Roman Fort
My recollection was that the Roman fort was on a different site, near the town, rather than literally on the same site (as the article says). I may be wrong and am thereofre not altering the article. Peterkingiron (talk) 09:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

You're correct. The fort is about a mile to the south. The article should make this clearer. Mei 15:09, 28 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meigwil (talk • contribs)

Caer Myrddin?
Never heard of this before. I have reverted the edit (made on 1/11/09). This should be in the Caernarfon article anyway. Please provide references if you want to include the quote. Mei (talk) 19:59, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Towards FAC
I had been planning to take this article to FAC, however after consulting a bibliography on Caernarfon to see what was missing, the following book seems essential if the article is to satisfy criterion 1c:. While the books by Arnold Taylor currently used in the article certainly cover the main points on the subject, the volume edited by Williams would seem to include the latest research on Caernarfon and should probably be consulted before this article goes further. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the book so for the time being Caernarfon Castle will not be visiting WP:FAC. Nev1 (talk) 18:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
