Happy editing!

I reverted your edit to Roath concerning the Roath Local History Society as I considered it to be overly promotional, see WP:PROMO. I notice that most of your edits include citations of this society's website. If you have close connection with the society then you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and the FAQ for organizations for more information. In my view, this would apply if you are an officer of the society, but probably not if you are just a rank-and-file member. A conflict of interest would not preclude you from citing the society's website or publications.

I am also concerned that the society's publications may not be assessed as reliable sources for Wikipedia. Reliable sources are of particular importance where they relate to living people, which is why I tagged the source in Tony Dell. I suspect that some local history societies have questionable scholarship, and may get some of their material from Wikipedia (see WP:CIRCULAR). The Roath society looks reasonably solid, although I would be happier if it cited the sources for its articles. If you have access to the original sources on which the society's articles are based then please cite these sources in Wikipedia.
