Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, CMD (talk) 16:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to History of Wales

Hi and welcome. I reverted your edit to History of Wales because you added in an sfn reference that did not refer to anything in the bibliography, so it was unsourced. However you may well have found this reference on another page and tried to be helpful by just copying it across. If you can tell me which page you found the reference on, we can find the reference in the bibliography there and see what can be used. Happy editing, and welcome once again.

I got my info from the 2014 book The History of Wales by John Graham Jones on page 10. Brioche23 (talk) 02:54, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be located on the 2nd page of the wayback archive version found here: https://archive.org/details/historyofwales0000jone_f5q1/. Brioche23 (talk) 02:59, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, good find. I'll add that book to the bibliography and put something back about the small numbers. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:51, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brioche23, thanks for your edits on Welsh history. Just a note regarding adding of new information into existing prose, if you're inserting text into the middle of a sourced section, it is helpful if the edit can be tweaked so as not to separate existing text from its source (WP:INTEGRITY). Usually this is simple enough to achieve by duplicating the existing reference. Best, CMD (talk) 04:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I will try to implement that into my editing. Also, thanks for recognising my hard work on existing edits. Brioche23 (talk) 04:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The en.wiki style of referencing is a bit different to how references are used elsewhere, so there are considerations that wouldn't come up elsewhere. If you know more about the pre-Roman settlement of Wales, there's a hidden note which names one tribe different to the non-hidden text which could use some clarification. CMD (talk) 07:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The hidden text is the inferior version. Caratacus was king of the Catuvellauni (see Dio Cassius 60:20 ) but on being defeated by the Romans in his kingdom of what is now Essex, he fled west, united first the Silures and then the Ordovices and led them in resistance against the Romans. It is not clear to me that he actually supplanted their kings, but he clearly led the resistance. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
