Talk:Norman invasion of Wales

Magnus
"Magnus, who had earlier indirectly hurt the Welsh's chances against the Normans with his losing battle against King Harold II of England in 1066" - seems to be referring back to the previously-linked "King Magnus III of Norway (Magnus Barefoot)".

Given that Magnus wasn't actually born till 1073, and Harold II had defeated Harald Hardrada, this seems to be a bit astray? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.235.203.96 (talk) 23:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That text was obviously incorrect, so I've removed it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:49, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Repeated text; seems oddly organised
I'm not a historian, so I am not confident of fiddling around with the text, but this article seems to have problems. I had a quick look at the article in other languages, and eyeballing it, the French, German and Russian pages all look to be in far better shape. This is odd for an article on British history.OsFish (talk) 04:58, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The last paragraph in the opening section is repeated word for word at the end.
 * The opening sentence seems really unhelpful as to what the Norman invasions were and when they happened.
 * The order of events as described is difficult to follow.

Strangely written, biased
The opening especially seems pretty strangely written and almost biased. 'heavy and humiliating defeat' for example, inaccurate assertations of routed armies instead of an ambush of a detached force, referral to the Welsh as Britons (technically true of course but given everything else, it sticks out), all makes it sound like this article was written by a Welsh nationalist.

Have edited out some of the more egregious examples, judging by the writing it was a single author doing most of it. But the article is still quite sparse. Alooulla (talk) 04:15, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
