Guto Harri (question)

I just have a question. Please understand that I have the greatest respect for the Cymru, but if Guto Harri's birth was registered as Guto Pritchard-Jones in the General Registry Office of England and Wales as per the genealogy site at http://www.findmypast.co.uk, why would no mention be made. I understand about patronymics, but if a name is registered a certain way shouldn't at least some reference be made to it? Yours, Quis separabit? 23:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

It's not registered in a certain way, at least not according to the birth certificate. I noted on that talk page: In the UK birth certificates often do not record a surname; modern practice means we mostly take our fathers surname. However in Welsh tradition, which Harri's family observed, the surname is taken from the fathers first name. The website "find my past" is apparently not able to cope with this situation and incorrectly lists Harri's birth name. Please don't restore it. --Errant ^(chat!) 09:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Gidday, I have left a new comment in relation to the start date of the operations over at the A-class review page for this article.

DYK for Operation Graffham

On 29 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Operation Graffham, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Operation Graffham was a Second World War political deception intended to convince the Swedish government that the Allied nations were about to invade Norway? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Operation Graffham. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
