Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Sarah Jane Rees has been reverted. Your edit here to Sarah Jane Rees was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://daibach-welldigger.blogspot.com/2019/01/cranogwen-pioneering-preacher.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

I added the external link as I felt it came under the category of a well-researched blog with much information not readily available elsewhere - i.e. it conforms with your guidelines 'What can normally be linked', point 3. I am not involved in the site personally. I am therefore venturing to reverse the action of the automated blog.

 * The reason I changed that section is that the sentences "The hymn was first written in Welsh as English was not Williams' first language so it was later translated into English by his son John Williams. This was because Williams did not know enough English to fully express the intent of the original Welsh verses in translation" are totally incorrect. Although Williams's first language was Welsh, he was very fluent in English from a fairly young age (having attended a Nonconformist academy in Breconshire, where much of the instruction would have been in English). He wrote over 120 hymns in English, not to mention elegies and other material in English. 'O'er those gloomy hills of darkness' was written by him in English, and first published (as I noted in my revised text, referencing the Kirk article, p.99), in his second collection of English hymns, Gloria in Excelsis (1772). Proof that the hymn was written by him in English is the fact that his son, John Williams, translated it, not from Welsh into English but from English into Welsh, and first published his Welsh translation in 1795. John Williams would not have needed to have done that if his father had first written the hymn in Welsh! 82.15.162.127 (talk) 23:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
