Sheep farming in Wales

[edit]

Thanks for creating this article. There needs to be a link somewhere to the article on sheep farming in Wales - though, in the existing text, it's not clear where the link would best fit - and I suggest that the image of Sydna Pritchard would be more appropriate at that article, rather than this one.

Lede
  • " The Shrewsbury drapers took a dominant role in distributing Welsh cloth. " -is it worth mentioning the firm article you started here?
  • I would expect the lede to tell me something about the nature of the product, a basic summary, rather than just a rough history outline.
Prehistoric times
  • Dinas Powys hillfort in Glamorganshire -it is called the Vale of Glamorgan now, Glamorganshire sounds rather old fashioned nowadays, but if the 2011 source calls it that fair enough.
  • Is there nothing more which can be said or early medieval period? You'd think there would be a bit more on archeological finds pointing to it or something.
Medieval
  • "the monasteries of Margam, Neath and Tintern a" -the monasteries rather than town should be piped here, e.g Margam Abbey.

This is quite a good article but it would be good to see more on the nature of the industry, more on methods of production, how wool was transported to market etc. It's fine for GA though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:16, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's fine.
