Merger of Cwmyoy and Cwmyoy Church

The article at Cwmyoy Church usefully expands on part of the Cwmyoy article, but the church by itself does not justify a separate article - it is the most notable feature of the village of Cwmyoy and should be included within the Cwmyoy article. Unless a strong case to the contrary is made, I propose merging the two articles by including most of the text at Cwmyoy Church into Cwmyoy. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Image of the church

There is a fantastic image of the church which illustrates its crooked nature wonderfully here.

But when I try to replace the current image with this it grows to monstrous size and takes over the whole page. Any ideas? KJP1 (talk) 22:30, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

On checking it more closely, is there a copyright issue? As well? KJP1 (talk) 22:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Seems to be standard Flickr transfer, fully licenced, so ok, I think. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

But can you get it into the article? KJP1 (talk) 23:02, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Lord, I've done it. Don't know why it was problematic before. KJP1 (talk) 23:04, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Well done. Personally I'd keep the original infobox image where it was and put this excellent new wide one, somewhere on its own, but in the text, nearer the bottom. What do you think? Martinevans123 (talk) 23:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree, and go right ahead. But the new image is so good, it needs to be in the article. KJP1 (talk) 23:25, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Name

I have once again introduced the suggestion that the name originates from the Welsh word 'iau', or 'iou' in local dialect, since this is stated as probable in the given reference. As with many matters of place-name studies, other origins are feasible but they should be backed up with references. I don't understand why it was asserted previously that this one was unlikely to be true. I know from personal experience that in certain lights the surrounding hill has a striking resemblance to the traditional harness placed around, for example, the neck of an ox. My personal experience counts for little in the article but has a place here. cheers Geopersona (talk) 04:25, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
