Hi, here is the source from the history I added to the Kidwelly page http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/articles/caervort.html it states that Fort Vortigern is said to be in multiple locations with Kidwelly being one, and the story of Fort Vortigern is from the Historia Brittonum.

Quick question, is there a warning template for unreliable sources? It’s not a default Twinkle template, but it would definitely be useful!

Danners430 I think it is covered by the last one listed in Twinkle under 'Behavior in articles' "{{UW-unsourced1}} Addition of unsourced or improperly cited material", as citing an unreliable source such as youtube is improper citing. There may be other toolboxes other than Twinkle that have more precise warnings but I only use Twinkle. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 10:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

Ah gotcha - I just thought you might know of a more specific one :-) thanks all the same!

Hello, you reverted my addition of an IPA pronunciaton for Ponterwyd. I am a Welsh-speaker and have an academic background in linguistics. I can assure you that the IPA I have provided is correct. Moreover, what source would you ideally want? There aren't any Welsh-language pronunciation dictionaries because the orthography is almost entirely phonemic. 2A00:23C7:7C9B:AB01:B0C7:6A2B:FF25:DB4F (talk) 19:02, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is required for such an addition is a reliable source

WP:OR even with an editor's assurances that they are correct are not acceptable whatever the editor's background.SovalValtos (talk) 19:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

It is not 'original research'. I don't think you know very much about this matter.

I shall try to put it simply: in Welsh, a single letter (including digraphs) has a single pronunciation. It is entirely regular. So regular that the there are not pronunciation guides or dictionaries in Welsh. The only 'sources' that could be furnished would presumably be English guidebooks that happen to include an IPA transcription of the Welsh name in question.

I get the feeling that you do not much about the Welsh language or IPA? 2A00:23C7:7C9B:AB01:B0C7:6A2B:FF25:DB4F (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What you 2A00:23C7:7C9B:AB01:B0C7:6A2B:FF25:DB4F or I know about the Welsh language or IPA is irrelevant. I see that you have made IPA additions and then 'corrected' them. How do we know which 'correct' version or 'uncorrected' version of yours in articles are correct unless you give a source which verifies what you have added, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. There is no requirement to include an IPA transcription in English Wikipedia of Welsh pronunciations so if a source is not available leave it alone. You can always publish the fruits of your research work elsewhere. Incidentally, the edit summary is for a description of what you have done; use talk for explanations etc. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 01:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If that is so, then almost every IPA transcription for placenames on the English Wikipedia would have to be removed, as almost all of them are unsourced. The reasoning, I imagine, is likewise that those names have a standard pronunciation in the language it came from, especially, such as in the case of Italian and Welsh amd Finnish and so forth, when the language has a phonemic orthography. There is therefore nothing to source: what do you want, a link to an academic work which notes the correspondence between letters and sounds in Welsh? 2A00:23C7:7C9B:AB01:BC5A:2F4E:F7D6:1E3F (talk) 21:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please stop reverting my additions of IPA pronunciation? As already noted, it is my background, and morevoer, Welsh orthography is phonemic, so there aren't many sources for pronunciations because the relationship between what is written and what is said is transparent. In fact, you only tend to find soures for when this is not the case, regarding those rare exceptions. 2A00:23C7:7C9B:AB01:B0C7:6A2B:FF25:DB4F (talk) 19:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For reasons not entirely clear, you seem to spend a lot of time tagging IPA transcriptions of Welsh-language placenames as needing a citation. The reason that the overwhelming majority of such instances on Wikipedia are unsourced is that Welsh orthography is phonemic. You could similarly waste your time in tagging all IPA transcriptions for Italian placenames as needing a citation, although the reason for their lack of citation is that Italian orthography is also phonemic. As with Welsh, the standard pronunciation is therefore self-evident. They'd only really need a citation if they were contrary to the standard, regular and transparent pattern.

For consistency, why don't you busy yourself by tagging IPA transcriptions of English-language placenames as needing citations, seeing as the vast majority of them don't have this? Otherwise one might come to conlusion that you, who I presume are English, have a strange vindictive obsession with the Welsh language? 2A00:23C7:7C9B:AB01:2D99:5CAE:E071:6F48 (talk) 20:34, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I can't guarantee completely. I saw the content is using YouTube library music, but on delving deeper I see mention that the vids may use other YouTube video music. It's a minefield so safest to remove. Cheers for pointing it out. The Equalizer (talk) 23:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
