Turtelodve

Isn't this the town whose name bears the rifles of the Confederacy in Timeline 191? Is that notable? 69.141.31.78 19:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Snow

In February 1963, I believe Tredegar had 1.5m of level snow, the greatest depth ever recorded in an urban area of Britain. If a good source can be found for this, it ought to go in. 86.143.48.55 (talk) 05:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Football club

It seems there was one back in the 1900s, because Herbert Lyon finished his career with them. - Dudesleeper talk 00:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

By way of signing edits, I inserted the quote from Adrian Vaughn's book. 166.217.251.129 (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2011 (UTC)agentmorristown

Pronunciation

You don't need to watch the full 1 hour and 3 minutes, just the first few seconds in enough. 86.187.235.184 (talk) 18:19, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

A youtube video does not make it true, people pronounce Pwllheli as Puckelie.. it doesnt make it true, the video doesn't ask them to speak Welsh, Tre is short for Tref (pronounced the same as you'd pronounce Trevor without the 'or' and by holding the 'e') those 'locals' in the video obviously don't know how to speak Welsh and haven't even asked for the correct pronunciation (nor have you).. ask any Welsh speaker and they will give you a completely different answer.Hogyncymru (talk) 21:56, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey, guess what mate, they were Welsh people speaking English. Yes, they do exist. Why do they have to speak Welsh? Because Wikipedia's Hogyncymru says they must? lol. If you have some good documentary sources that show how Tredegar is pronounced in Welsh, kindly provide them here. By all means add a Welsh IPA pronunciation to the article, if you have any good source(s). But this is en.wiki, not cy.wiki, so the pronunciation in English takes precedence, ok? And please give up with all this pathetic Welsh Nationalistic buggery bollocks. Cheers. 86.187.165.249 (talk) 22:06, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Plenty more real examples here. 86.187.165.249 (talk) 22:15, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1297390867011084 OH LOOK A WELSH PRONUNCIATION (through BBC: S4C) which validates the voiceclip, who would've known?? Hogyncymru (talk) 22:28, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I thought "A youtube video does not make it true" lol. If you really must add a pronunciation wav file, please add an English one, because this is en.wiki. Your BBC YouTube video source doesn't even support that wav file because it's totally different. I've no idea who concocted that pathetic little wav file, but it's a load of fucking arse wank mate. 86.187.165.249 (talk) 22:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

S4C is owned by the BBC, it is as valid as it gets, an independent blogger on youtube cannot compete, the page I linked has its account verified which means it is totally legit, your attitude and actions are translating as completely unprofessional and you're using xenophobic terms to describe a Welsh speaker, this breaks wiki's terms of use, if you revert anything again, I'll just report you, you may think you've won by me not correcting you, but I'm happy to wait for other professional editors to step in.. also it's incredibly fishy that the last edit you made with your ip only username was 2017, it's almost as if you're using it as a sock-puppet to hide your true username (which is also against terms of use).Hogyncymru (talk) 22:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Where does the stress fall in a standard Welsh pronunciation? The IPA given is: Welsh: [trɛˈdeːɡar] with stress on the second syllable. But the wav sample sounds more like |'trɛ:deːɡar|, with the stress on the first syllable. The S4C Heno source sounds more like the English pronunciation with stress on the second syllable. In short, the IPA, the wav sample and the S4C source are all different. Thank you. 86.187.225.171 (talk) 09:31, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
