 * ... that only two sections of the medieval Cardiff town walls survive, one of which supports a flower bed (pictured)?


 * I have no objection to this going into the Special occasion holding area under March 1st (St David's Day). Note: Cardiff is the capital city of Wales (St David is the patron saint of Wales). Seth Whales   talk    20:52, 13 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Article is long enough, appropriately dated, and well sourced, with no apparent policy issues. The hook is suitable, and properly cited. The image is in the public domain. The only stumbling block is the QPQ requirement. --Stemonitis (talk) 16:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

This article uses phrasings quite close at places to those used by its sources. Compare for example "From the 18th century, the deterioration of the town wall progressed rapidly. It collapsed in sections due to neglect, and stones were then used as building material for other structures. It had become common practice for sections of the the wall to be leased to burgesses (freemen of the town), which increased the rate of decline of the wall still further. Some of the wall was used to support the Glamorganshire Canal embankment" in the article with "From the 18th century onward the decline of Cardiff’s town wall progressed rapidly. It collapsed in sections due to neglect and its stones were used as building material for other purposes in the town...it had become fair practice by then to lease sections of the wall to burgesses, thus speeding up the disappearance of the structure. Some of the wall material was used quite legitimately to support the Glamorganshire Canal embankment". Nikkimaria (talk) 16:21, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I moved this from the special occasion area to the February 28 section (when it got removed from the queue) so it won't continue to be overlooked. --Orlady (talk) 15:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
