Contents 1 Inscription 2 MOS issue 3 GA 4 BBC Young Musician of the Year

[edit] Inscription

The inscription may allude to the work of Anglo-Welsh poet and artist David Jones, in its typography and, possibly, content. The typography is of a style with his 'painted inscriptions', and the Welsh, in translation, seems to have echoes of the poem A, a, a, Domine Deus (though it makes an opposing point). The similarity may be more or less co-incidental: perhaps the influence of Jones' inscriptions on Welsh calligraphy, and overlapping subject matter. Does anyone know of any appropriate references?

[edit] MOS issue

In anticipation of a GA review, I thought I'd let you know that that articles use of {{cquote}} is incorrect. According to the Manual of Style and the template instructions, decorative cquotes are never to be used for block quotations. Please switch to using either <blockquote> or {{blockquote}}, making sure that quotations are least four lines in length or multiple paragraphs. Good luck, VanTucky 01:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA

Unfortunately, this article is not eligable for GA promotion. The "Design and Construction History" section violates point 5 of the quick-fail criteria. Since it is currently under construction, the building has "current event" issues, and current information on the topic is considered unstable, subject to rapid changes. When the contstruction on the building is complete, and the {{Building under construction}} template can be removed, the article can be renominated. -Ed! (talk) 21:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BBC Young Musician of the Year

The 2008 BBC Young Musician of the Year was held at the WMC between 10 May 2008 and 11 May 2008.^[1] in celebration of thirty years of the competition broadcasting.^[1] However, I cannot think where to put this information in the article, maybe a new "Major events" section?
