Talk:Caer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Question

This artical seems to be several pieces of information that are related only in name and would be better suited to a disambiguation page with a colection of stubs. I would appreciate if someone who knows about the subject could do this appropriatly and add more information to each stub.

also, Aengus seems to have some information about the girl/woman called Caer, but it is very unclear. If you could assist with that as well, I would appreciate it.--Akako| 19:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

For sure. Why don't we put the information on the mythological Caer at Caer Ibormeith (her full name) and just leave an 'other meanings' notice here? QuartierLatin1968 Image:Flag of Anarcho syndicalism.svg 04:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is this?

This is full of waffle, sweeping generalisations and half-truths. A caer was primarily a fortress and is a common element in hill-fort names: if it was always "a royal residence" Wales would have literally scores of them! Also completely unreferenced, false etymology (corrected), and so forth. The royal court - the llys - was not by any means bound to be a fort and often was on circuit, moving from place to place. This needs drastic revision, so much so I hardly know where to start! Enaidmawr (talk) 23:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree with this. The article is very badly written by someone who knows very little about the subject. Caer is NOT a royal fort, it is just a 'fort'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.173.66 (talk) 00:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Fully agree with above comment. Just returned to this and given it a substantial pruning. Not sure what that leaves us, but hope it's an improvement. Enaidmawr (talk) 23:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
