CardioGymru, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Thank you very much. This is the first kind message I've received since joining. People keep interfering in things I post and removing my posts when I added facts from first hand experience and knew people. I would like to accept your kind invitation please.

Thanks for your edits - but please see MOS:SURNAME - "After the initial mention of any name, the person should generally be referred to by surname only...". Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:03, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but I've reverted your amendments to the article for several reasons:
 * 1) There were lots of spelling errors in the version you published. Before you make substantial changes to an article, your content needs to be in better shape - you can always get help with this from other contributors.
 * 2) The tone of your additions is generally not in keeping with the encyclopedic tone expected.
 * 3) You have not included any references for your statements. For example, stating that something is "exciting" is purely subjective and you can't make a statement like this without providing a reference. See Neutral point of view. Deb (talk) 17:57, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

You are a horrible person Deb. You have no idea about the role of the Archdruid. You are ignorant. Don't contact me again.

Please see Etiquette. Also, if you want to address me, please use my talk page, not your own. Deb (talk) 11:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

You say there were no spelling errors in your contribution, so I'll provide a list: Admittedly you corrected some of these yourself. The rest of what you added to the article will be acceptable if you can include references and avoid POV comments. Standards have changed within the project since this article was first created, and there is lots for you to learn.Deb (talk) 15:07, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * "subitting" (submitting)
 * "entires" (entries)
 * "commenrs" (comments)
 * "no de plumes" (nom de plumes)
 * "the" (they)
 * "bared" (bard)

I don't know which planet you are from! Please don't contact me again. There were no errors. CardioGymru (talk) 10:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

You wrote: "I didn't need to reference my sources. Members of my family have won the Crown and Chair. I was brought up attending and competing in the Eisteddfod. There are/were facts in the article which were factually incorrect. The bards won/the Crown - they do/did not "perform" the Crown."
 * Yes, I'm afraid you do need to provide references, because you cannot prove that you have ever been to the Eisteddfod (I haven't; I've only ever seen it on TV) so your testimony does not count - unless you've written a book or published article about it, in which case you are welcome to cite it. See Verifiability and Identifying reliable sources.
 * 1) The article did not say that a bard performed the Crown; it said that certain poets had performed the double of Chair and Crown. There is nothing wrong with that statement.
 * 2) It's quite possible that there were statements in the article that were factually incorrect. Had you merely corrected these, you'd have been fine. Unfortunately you chose to add your own subjective comments. You are aware of the neutral point of view policy and you need to follow it if you don't want your contributions to be edited.

PS. It may help you to be aware that the referencing rules in Welsh-language wikipedia are not as strict as the ones on this project. You would have more freedom there (although you will still need to abide by the NPOV guidelines). Deb (talk) 12:44, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you made a change to an article, T. Llew Jones, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Meters (talk) 18:19, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

You shouldn't have removed the content I added. I was related to him! No better "source" as you call it or evidence than first hand evidence. Please don't interfere again. CardioGymru (talk) 10:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, personal knowledge is not sufficient to source a Wikipedia article. It must be documented somewhere that can be verified.  We also have no way of knowing if you are truly related to the person or not.  I believe what you say, but that is not enough for Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 10:36, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Unbelievable! So sad. I'm out of this nonsense.
 * I'm sorry to hear that. Can you understand how sourcing information to the personal knowledge of anonymous contributors could be problematic?  I could claim to be Barack Obama and post things to his article, that does not make them true. 331dot (talk) 10:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
