[edit] Conversions

I've just added a couple of conversions. I thought it would be fair to assume that the tons were long tons. J ɪ m p 16:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On the 'to do' List - Churches and Chapels

In Cynon Valley, around 160 Nonconformist Chapels were built according to Alan Vernon Jones in his book Chapels of the Cynon Valley. Many of these Chapels remain in Aberdare. Perhaps we could add a section on the local Chapel history including notes on the development of other Churches in the area.

[edit] "as the name implies"?

"Aberdare (Welsh: Aberdâr) is an industrial town in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, situated (as the name implies) at the confluence of the River Dar and Cynon."

This seems a somewhat odd assertion to make on the English language Wikipedia. Is it seriously suggesting that an English-speaker would see the name Aberdare and think...yep, that definitely implies to me a place at the confluence of the River Dar and the River Cynon? I know no Welsh, but I'd hazard a guess that even a native Welsh-speaker would struggle to find any suggestion of the River Cynon from the word Aberdare. This statement needs explaining and clarifying. Draggleduck (talk) 00:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
