 * ... that according to Shakespeare, Henry V, who was born in Monmouth, approved of Welshmen wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps (pictured)?


 * St Davids Day is the 1st of March when leeks are meant to be worn...

Article is well-written and well-cited. Hook is cited and interesting. Pic has the proper licensing. I'd say we're good to go! --Coemgenus (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Coemgenus - I shall move this to March 1st as MonmouthpediA should be there for St David's Day Victuallers (talk) 09:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Can I suggest this image is used instead? The only known example of an original Monmouth Cap, dating from the 16th century, on display at Monmouth Museum Mrjohncummings (talk) 09:54, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm concerned that some of the phrasing in this article is nearly identical to that used by this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have changed the image to the one suggested and treaked the text. There are some false positives thrown up because of the long (and relevant) quote. I think you'll find its OK now Victuallers (talk) 20:57, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Further tweaked a little - hope I haven't made it worse! Apologies for my originally inadequate paraphrasing - what I assumed to be technical terminology concerning knitting styles is not something I felt qualified to change substantially.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:31, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I have gone through this and there seems to be no major paraphrasing concerns now (not counting direct quotations). This is good to go again. Cheers, Zangar (talk) 13:32, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
