I have created a template, {{tl|Coflein}}, that can be used for adding citations from the RCAHMW/Coflein website. It is modelled on the {{tl|Cadw}} and works in a similar way. On the talk page for the Cadw template I have also described a possible way of making that template work for historic sites other than just listed buildings. I hope editors on Welsh historic sites will find both useful, but if there are issues with these that I have missed then any suggestions for error fixes or other improvements would be helpful.

Wiki Loves Earth
Hi all. In order to improve nature photos on articles related to Wales, we've now entered into the international Wiki Loves Earth competition. Their main website is here, and the Wales entry is here on Commons.
The project is bilingual and all photos must be uploaded in June, and its aim is to produce quality images from conservation areas, which are listed on the project's page, and includes all three National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Wales, Natura 2000 specified areas and one UNESCO biosphere reserve. WiciMon and Wikimedia UK are leading the project together with three national organizations, which will be announced immediately after the forthcoming election.
If you're interests include photography, fauna and flora, geography or geology, Wales or the world, then please join us! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:37, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks to everyone who have uploaded! The competition is now at an end, with nearly 2,000 new photographs! If you would like an online Wikimedia UK Zoom editathon on adding the images to Wikipedia and Wikidata, please add your name below (pls enable email). Jason.nlw is organising a Welsh language session on the 16th July at 7pm. Best regards... Robin aka Llywelyn2000 (talk) 09:09, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- UPDATE, and a quick thanks to all!
Thanks to all those who contributed! For the first time in history, Wales stood shoulder to shoulder with 32 other nations in a WikiLoves / Wikimedia competition. Stats:
- 1,888 images were uploaded! Out of 33 countries, we were 7th! We're a BIG nation: strong, resourceful, proud, caring (if I hear 'too small' once again...!) Fast at our heals were Sweden, Italy, Spain and Australia! Stats here on Toolforge (refresh twice).
- 52 photographers joined in from Wales!
- 17% of the images are used on WP articles - please help add more!
- Iestyn Hughes and Jean Napier will now be judging the uploaded images from Wales. I'll let you know the outcome as soon as possible.
- The uploaded images are Commons:Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Earth_2021_in_Wales here.
Diolch to everybody! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 13:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
Gilwern Concrete Arch Bridge.
Hello. Does anybody already have a photo', please, of the the new, record breaking concrete bridge, at Gilwern, of their own taking that they'd like to place on the Gilwern page ? Not the 'Jack Williams' ' bridge, but the arched one that's part of the same new A465 improvements, and is now the record holder. I live many miles away, and now the record of its existence is mentioned, a copyright-free picture to show should be just the thing. Thanks. Heath St John (talk) 22:04, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Palestine-Wales Editathon Project / مرحبًا بكم في برنامج التبادل الثقافي بين فلسطين وويلز
In collaboration with Palestinian editors and Wikimedians of the Levant, I've created a short competition / project over the coming month (August).
Arabic and Welsh-language editors will translate articles from en-wiki; English-language editors can develop existing articles based on Palestine culture. There's are two wish-lists of articles by Palestine cy-wiki editors. As most already exist in English, I've left the list blank, so that editors can choose themselves. If you add the number of kb in the next column, we'll be able to list the editors by number of kb. Take a look at the project page and be prepared for Sunday (1st August). I've met their main organiser, a wonderful person named Bara'a, and would like to arrange a Zoom meeting with her to discuss the project, if you're interested. Let me know on the Project page. And if you know of any past Welsh connections with the Palestinian people or Palestine itself, please get in touch!
The competition is run by Wikimedia UK, and there will be token prizes.
There are five fields of interest:
- Women
- Dishes/Food
- Places of interest
- COVID-19 Panademic
- Culture
Enjoy! And any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 13:19, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Update and thanks
- New article created in Arabic about Wales : 57
- New articles in Cornish about Palestine: 44
- New articles in Welsh about Palestine: 142
- Articles developed in English on Palestine: 0
- Total # of new articles: 242
Year in Wales article layout
I'd like to get an opinion from as many as possible on some recent changes made without discussion. "Prince of Wales" and "Princess of Wales" have been removed from all the articles and replaced with the name of the UK monarch! See User_talk:GoodDay#Question for the discussion. Deb (talk) 15:43, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Having viewed the layout of the Year in Northern Ireland, the Year in England & the Year in Scotland articles. I noticed that they listed the reigning monarch in their Incumbent section. The prince of Wales is not the monarch of Wales, but rather a title. The British (before-1707, English) monarch reigns over Wales. PS - If Wales has left the UK & decided that (for example) Prince Charles is their reigning monarch? I'd like some sources on that. AFAIK, the Welsh monarchy ended in the late-1200's. GoodDay (talk) 15:49, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- PS: I was also planning on adding the legislatures (beginning in 1999) in the Incumbent section of the Year in Wales, Year in Scotland & Year in Northern Ireland articles. Sorry Year in England, you don't have your own devolved legislature. GoodDay (talk) 16:03, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- And isn't that point about consistency just a bit disingenuous, GoodDay? As far as I can see, it was you who started inserting the name of the monarch on the Northern Ireland pages (e.g. 1999 in Northern Ireland). I can't see any suggestion on the Year in Wales pages that anyone was alleging that the Prince of Wales was the monarch. You're quite right: "Prince of Wales" is purely titular, and the person has no particular connection to Wales. I can see the argument for getting rid of that bit of information altogether, but substituting the name of the monarch serves no useful purpose. --Craigysgafn (talk) 16:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- I wouldn't oppose removing the British monarch from all the Year in constituent country articles, if the exclusion includes the 'prince & princess of Wales'. Those articles are best served with just the 'first minister' & other local political offices in the Incumbent section. GoodDay (talk) 16:55, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- That's not really up to you as an individual though, is it? Shouldn't you, out of politeness, notify the people who have been updating these articles for years? Deb (talk) 18:35, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Well, with all due respect to those individuals, they don't own those articles. I would though place an invitation here, at WP:ENGLAND, WP:SCOTLAND & WP:NORTHERN IRELAND, to attend an RFC on this (incumbents) topic. Just haven't figured out yet, where to hold said-RFC.

Recommendation
Incumbents
- First Minister – Mark Drakeford
- Secretary of State for Wales – Simon Hart
- Archbishop of Wales – John Davies, Bishop of Swansea and Brecon
- Archdruid of the National Eisteddfod of Wales – Myrddin ap Dafydd
- National Poet of Wales – Ifor ap Glyn
An example of what I'm posting about. GoodDay (talk) 17:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
RFC invitation
In relation to the above discussion, you're welcomed to an RFC at WP:YEARS. -- GoodDay (talk) 19:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- I don't see a problem with including the Princes (and Princesses) of Wales. They are incumbent postholders, after all, despite their being ceremonial titles. I'm not aware of current Princes or Princesses of Scotland or Northern Ireland, so the comparison with these other countries doesn't make sense. I've no opposition to including the (UK) monarch.

Databases for historic sites
I have created a template, {{Coflein}}, that can be used for adding citations from the RCAHMW/Coflein website. It is modelled on the {{Cadw}} and works in a similar way. On the talk page for the Cadw template I have also described a possible way of making that template work for historic sites other than just listed buildings. I hope editors on Welsh historic sites will find both useful, but if there are issues with these that I have missed then any suggestions for error fixes or other improvements would be helpful.
