Start GA reassessment. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:02, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I have read this article over the last few days. I find it is well written, referenced with good sources, with a through discussion of the poem and its interpretation by scholars and others. The images are correctly captioned and tagged and I have no hesitation in maintaining the Good Article status. An interesting article about a poem with which I was previously unfamiliar.

But see above. Contains a SERIOUS ERROR. Enaidmawr (talk) 21:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the obviously false assertion that Y Gododdin would have been written first in Cumbric. No-one I have encountered even mentions this as a possibility and it is indeed risible. Jarman is quite clear in his work (borrowed from in some lengths in this very article) that Y gododdin is a Welsh poem not only in its present surviving form but in its origins too. neither does he entertain any notion of Cumbric as a language as he reffers to the old north as speaking Welsh as a language. And not some personal agenda driven nonsense of Cumbric. THERE IS NO SUCH LANGUAGE!

As the location of its composition does not have any bearing upon the language of its composition I have also modified the first paragraph. I don't think it important that it be mentioned as the earliest poem composed in what is now Scotland as it is not a work of scottish literature, in fact of course there is no Scottish literature from this period only Welsh.
