Etymology

The etymology given is wrong. "Early British Kingdoms" is not a reliable source, and in this case it directly contradicts Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson's Language and History in Early Britain. I'm changing it, but leaving the link to EBK since it seems to be a popular site. -- Goueznou 96.248.112.199 (talk) 15:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deganwy Castle

The details of the destruction of Deganwy Castle in this article differ from the details given in the dedicated Deganwy Castle article. Elvum (talk) 22:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Area/town/village?

@Stortford, you since removed "town" for "area". I since replaced it with "village" (temporarily). Why isn't it a town "in its own right"?

These use "town":[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

These use "village":[9][10][11][12][13]

I have not found a source stating it "is an area", and yes some sources use both "town" and "village" (not helping).

My search is marginally for town, there could be more sources hiding. However, as I cannot prove "village" yet, best to restore the status quo and the most authoritative/national sources use "town". It definitely is not described (anywhere) as "an area" (not generic use of "area").

It is usually considered separate from Conwy town itself, so its municipal connections to it have little purpose. Although, yes, is under "Conwy Town Council", but such council website (cache) has the phrase "covers the towns of Conwy, Llandudno Junction and Deganwy, North Wales", although the website seems to alter it to "covers the town of Conwy, Llandudno Junction and Deganwy". Post towns are just Royal Mail checkpoints. Dank Jae 22:20, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - happy to revert to town. The particular points I was looking at were the fact that it has never had its own town council, having been administered as part of the borough and now community of Conwy, isn't a post town (which informs most people's sense of where they live even if we don't use it as a basis for WP articles), and isn't classed as a separate built-up area by the Office for National Statistics. However, you're right, I should have cross-checked against common usage as well before completely removing 'town'. Thanks. Stortford (talk) 06:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
