Talk:Ardudwy

What does the phrase "above the River Conwy" mean? The Conwy reaches the north coast of Wales, so above it on a map is the Irish Sea! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.254.201.36 (talk • contribs)

It means 'upriver'. Rivers flow from higher ground to low, so conventionally the terms up/above, down/below, and for that matter left and right (as you face the river's mouth) will be meaningful locally though they don't refer to a point of the compass. Q·L·1968 ☿ 03:38, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ardudwy now.

What is the significance of the Ardudwy District since Gwynedd became a unitary authority in 1996? This article covers its early history, but does not explain why the "Ardudwy district" is used as a place description in a number of articles about villages and communities formerly in the Meirionnydd District of Gwynedd.

Surely the past tense should be used when discussing its history? I wasn't sure if the article was talking about a place or a person.
