Nannau mansion article

The Nannau mansion article was recently redone with references and links, I simply used a book to add all relevant facts. It seems someone used the mansion's local village of Llanfachreth article to write a history of this home. There is a conjunction of two stories on differing pages, perhaps the village article can be reworded instead of using the space for this article's natural story. Cltjames (talk) 02:34, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs a full copy-edit by someone competent to undertake this. As it stands, much of the content is close to gibberish. KJP1 (talk) 22:13, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm conducting a grammar review today and tomorrow. (talk) 17:17, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Being frank, I am not at all certain you are able to do a proper copy edit, based on your contributions to date. KJP1 (talk) 22:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually stop being rude, I have done a lot of work, please reference my work on a family friend Hugh Ellis-Nanney, I did the body of the work, and my Mum conducted the review and grammar work, she is currently helping me right now on the Nannau page, so as to the work, just have patience. (talk) 17:24, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1: can we please close this section of the talk page, it is unnecessary to the article's context. Also please weigh in your opinion on the potential creattion of a redirect link for the House of Nannau article rename, or maybe Lordship of Nannau ...? Cltjames (talk) 19:32, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t favour deletion of Talkpages myself. If you don’t want it so prominent, perhaps archiving? KJP1 (talk) 04:20, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Architect

I added the reference page in a book about the family mansion, and on this page 162 is the explanation of how the house came about involving the architect book by Peter Frederick Robinson, and how Joseph Bromfield wasn't even an architect until a career change. It explains in the book as to what Bromfield did in relation to Sir Robert Vaughan, 2nd Baronet. We know this house has a very vague past, and there aren't many references. So, in finding a reference, could you please add something like {{unreliable source, that is if you believe so (deleting is unecessary). Otherwise, I don't know what to do and what is required from KJP1 (talk) in terms of being allowed to name the 2nd baronet as the architect. Cltjames (talk) 17:18, 26 November 2021 (UTC) Nannau, Wales#Architecture and description[reply]

It’s very simple. To put in a claim that Vaughan was the architect, you need a reliable source that says this. Do you have such a source? If you don’t, don’t make the claim. KJP1 (talk) 22:24, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you say it's very simple... I have a page 162 stating the facts I've written in the article from the Nannau book referenced in this article, this reference is from a correctly referenced book, and I have reworded some facts about the architect. So the article is all verified, otherwise I wouldn't undertake such work (right?) Your welcome to do the reference for me, simple, page 162, Williams (2016). Cltjames (talk) 17:26, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've amended most of the article with grammar work, do check and tell me if it is to standard; also I added a quote from several paragraphs from pages 161-162 from the book (KJP1 if you have a chance to check these facts). I would appreciate it if you would understand there's nothing much more I can do, but your welcome to insert {{unreliable, if you truly feel obliged too; otherwise I feel the work is next to perfect for now. Cltjames (talk) 19:55, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

When I say almost perfect, I also believe there's a bit of going off-subject, but that is because of the lack of information on prior houses on site. So maybe, it still has the need to reorganize some paragraphs and maybe add sub-titles to make more sense of the home's history. Cltjames (talk) 01:10, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article completion

My end of the bargain is complete with all correct book references and knowledge on the Nannau estate, I've worked on an off tirelessly for a week and have complete all the grammar connections as of tonight. Cltjames (talk) 19:25, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nannau oak felling

There are many people quoting the same source that Sir Richard Hoare, 2nd Baronet painted the famous Nannau oak, i.e. the deathbed of Hywel Sele, during a visit on 27 July, 1813. Is this a dubious claim, or reality? I think the latter and have no doubts as to the authenticity of the story... Any objections about leaving the story in the article??? Cltjames (talk) 05:01, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

House of Nannau?

I wanted to ask the question if someone else felt it would be relevant to better represent the family of Nannau and change the article name to House of Nannau or something along the lines of Lord Nannau? The dynasty was a cadet branch of the House of Mathrafal and it is referenced in the Williams 2016 book I've used to improve the article. Cltjames (talk) 14:17, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After consideration, it would be better to keep this article about the mansion and maybe create a new article about the Lordship of Nannau and then move some of the relevant paragraphs which talk about the family and not the home. Any thoughts again? Cltjames (talk) 02:19, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with your comment immediately above, Cltjames, and leave the article about the mansion and move out any material relevant to the family to a separate article. Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 06:16, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, in relation to this article. In relation to “House of Nannau”, are there sufficient reliable/recent sources which discuss the concept? KJP1 (talk) 04:21, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 this is an issue I've been thinking about. Unfortunately I can't provide more than 2 or 3 books with mentions of the Nannau family. Primarily the 2016 book I've sourced in this article. I wonder how the website, Nannau.Wales fares? Then obviously some genealogy books to support the Lordship descent shown in the Williams '16 book. Cltjames (talk) 04:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If the coverage is limited to passing mentions in a small number of sources, then we shouldn't have an article. Nannau.Wales is a blog, and won't do. And don't forget, Wikipedia's not a genealogy site. KJP1 (talk) 05:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 ok, that's fine. I'll probably look into this again in the future. I was looking at another manor, Chwilog #Plas Hen (Talhenbont) history. The village article already had a section, I simply expanded the text and added another few sub sections. As for Talhenbont, there is virtually no literature associated with the hall, but genealogy records. However, the hall has a website:- talhenbonthall.co.uk, is the site acceptable as a source? Also, would genealogical references, and a few more references, i.e Coflein, Cadw etc be suitable for a separate article? Cltjames (talk) 02:35, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
