I like this entry because, not only is it written by me but it also provides the reader with an educational and interesting background on Wales and I have not seen others like it in the Guide

Great entry, a little short, yet still informative . I get the feeling that you could spruse it up a little with some GuideML though, give it a shot, and good luck .

That's a good little article but I think it would be better if you broke it up into paragraphs. Also, it is a big subject to cover so briefly. I would have been happy to read more. The part about the Welsh language was particularly interesting.

I've added some more to it now, including headers, italics, bold and spaces. It's all there for you all to see so I just need one of you kind-hearted ACE's or Scouts to come and tell me what you think.

very nice goah, i agree that it is a very big subject, though, and i definitely wouldn't mind reading more on it...so maybe you could add some more (in particular you might want to look about and see if anyone has written about rugby (for those of us who don't know it very well) and add a link or two for good measure!)
it's a big subject, the more links the better if you ask me! (but don't go too nuts!)

How about an example of the welsh language (this is only a suggestion)
eg.
Gwd lwc. Ai hop ddat yw can ryd ddys and ddat yt meiks sens tw yw.
Which translates as
Good luck. I hope that you can read this, and that it makes sense to you.
Copy this down quick before the moderators remove it for review as a forign language posting.
you might also want to mention that the welsh alphabet only ontains the following characters,
A, B ,C ,Ch, D, Dd, E, F, Ff, G, Ng, H, I, L
Ll, M, N, O, P, Ph, R, Rh, S, T, Th, U, W, Y
THE VOWELS: (A, E, I, U, O, W, Y)
Welsh does not possess the letters J, K, Q, V, X or Z, though you will often come across "borrowings" from English, such as John, Jones, Jam and Jiwbil (Jubilee); Wrexham (Wrecsam); Zw (Zoo).
If you feel this is a bit to much don't worry about it.

Thanx Happydude but If I did put examples in I'd make sure they really were in Welsh lol! I'll add some more now. Check it out soon!

Taffy Boy Posted Mar 25, 2001
I've now explained how the language works and I've added some handy examples. Come on guys! Check it out!

minor thing here, you used the header tag for 'examples' when perhaps the subheader tag might be more appropriate.
