Article history[edit]

I've just reverted this article to its state as at 17 September 2019.

Since then:

On 18 October 2019 it was converted to a redirect, with edit summary "make redirect - all content now at Tregarth - not notable as a stand alone article"
On 18 Oct 2019 and 18 May 2020 work was done on categories - I'll retrieve that work
On 3 June 2021 a "new" article was created with edit summary "Readded a improved article the station is notable doesn't deserve a redirect. Other stations along the line have one so Talgarth isn't exempt from it either", and a few further edits made ... but on comparison it appears that this was an almost-unchanged copy of the 17 Sept 2019 article, complete with access dates for online sources. The wording has been very lightl edited but if this was to an external source I'd be reporting it as a copyright violation, it's so similar.
So I've now reverted it to the 17 Sept 2019 version to reflect the work of the editors involved. If anyone has improvements to make, they can make them to this version. If anyone wants to suggest it should be converted back to a redirect, feel free to do so. I'm just concerned about the unacknowledged copying within Wikipedia, along with a garbled set of sources and references as displayed in the last version before my reversion.

@RailwayJG, Crouch, Swale, Velella, and Nthep: as the editors involved in this history. PamD 08:15, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It looks as if some of the material, eg the infobox and its sources, may have come from Three Cocks Junction railway station - it's fine to use the infobox format from a similar article, and to consult its sources, but that ""Radnorshire's Lost Gem: the Mid Wales Railway". The Radnorshire Society. Retrieved 9 March 2017." reference is a dead link nowadays, so should not be imported unchecked as a reference today. PamD 08:23, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've found the reference at its new URL, checked that it still states that Three Cocks station had 4 platforms, and updated the link there. PamD 08:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But although it was cited in the infobox in the "new" article as a source for Talgarth having 2 platforms, the source does not mention Talgarth. PamD 08:33, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Both duplicate articles have now been deleted though Fochriw railway station has been merged back. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:33, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
