- Comment: Interesting little biography, created for Black History Month in the UK. Note that this biography quotes at length from a 19th-century account of Ystumllyn's life, so may set off several copyvio detectors.

This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, but I prefer the uncropped version present in the article. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (the Earwig tool came up with a 85% likelihood of copyvio, but it was just legitimate quotations). A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
