Exhibition disambiguation

[edit]

Sadly I am not familiar with Beaumaris, and the word "exhibition" links to a disambiguation page. I have (more out of guesswork than anything) opted for art exhibition, but I realise it may also include trade fairs. If so, please don't link to disambiguation again, as it also includes stuff on scholarships and Xzibit which, I would imagine, have nothing to do with Beaumaris. If needs be, please say that it hosts art exhibitions and other conventions. LeeG 14:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copy Editing?

[edit]

Anybody know any specifics on that tag? I think it reads quite well... Lordjim13 23:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was slapped on by an IP in April - this compares the state of the article immediately pre-tagging and now. I think it's fine for present purposes too, so will detag. BencherliteTalk 23:37, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion...

[edit]

I've gone through and expanded the article a bit, including adding in some of the latest research. I think everything is now referenced etc. A couple of bits to note:

  • "Beaumaris Castle was positioned to face the royal llys at Abergwyngregyn " - I couldn't find a reference for this claim, so I took it out for now.
  • "Roland de Velville, a reputed son of King Henry VII of England" - his reputed son status is contested in various works, so I've strengthened the referencing to him, but taken out the reputed son point, which isn't linked by the sources to his presence at Beaumaris.
  • "Attackers of Beaumaris Castle would have met 14 separate obstacles" - this is uncited but seems to be a misreading of a bit in Taylor, and I've removed the claim.
  • "hot oil could be poured over enemy forces" - this is a bit of a canard in literature about castles, and as it was uncited I've removed it. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:37, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
