Talk:Monmouth Cemetery

DYK nominination
I nominated this for DYK and we have received a list of issues which Ive copied here Victuallers (talk) 17:02, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

1. The cited sources, all online, are formatted in a way which only gives the title and access date for the source, I'd prefer more information, like who's work the sources are, who the authors are, when the sources were created etc. 2. The article claims that the problems with the decaying bodies resurfacing at the previous cemetery were caused "due to the raised height in the churchyard", while the cited source makes it clear that the problems originated in that the cemetery was "raised on a mass of decaying bones several feet", which I interpret as meaning that the problems were caused by too many people being buried at a location over time. 3. The article states: "The site was taken over by the town council in 1960 and is owned and maintained by Monmouthshire Council." I can't find this in the source. And how can the town council take over a site in 1960, when the article also claims that the same land was sold to the council in the 19th century? 4. The 2010 restoration of the chapel doesn't seem to be supported by the cited source. 5. The article makes it sound like the cemetery is permanently closed for new burials, while the source says the council will "review the situation in June". 6. The section called "Facilities" is unreferenced. All in all, these issues should be possible to fix. Manxruler (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Anthony - I think these were all marrginal points and some are interpretation. I'll note these as all fixed by author. I like all the pics. I may offer an alternative hook for DYK that emphasises the Welsh bit. Victuallers (talk) 21:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
