The Reginald's Tower Museum gives the name 'Vedrarfjordr' (prop. spelling Vetrarfjordr) which makes perfect sense, 'The Winter Fjord or Port'. May 112012— Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.141.23.121 (talk) 09:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the reference supports the assertion of Waterford being 'the oldest city'. It says something slightly different. Can we find a reference which actually uses those words? Atlas-maker (talk) 05:43, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's a slew of books to be found at Google Books if people just search. Using the Chamber of Commerce and City Council websites is both lazy and as close to self-published works as you can get. Scolaire (talk) 15:56, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Waterford is referred to in Annals. That is true. But I think that "Annalistic references" is very poor English. I suggest that the title should be changed to References in Annals.101.98.175.68 (talk) 01:44, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It appears in a montage, the the lead and tin the religion section. That is excessive. Pick 1 or 2 uses and leave it at that @The Banner:. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
One is hidden in the collage, that is no excuses to remove the other picture. And please, stop editwarring over it. The Bannertalk 14:30, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.
Before I consider what, if anything, to do with these (overlapping?) sections, are there any particular views on what the purpose and distinctions are between the "places of interest" and "notable features" sections?
To my mind we have duplication between both sections. Not least as Reginald's Tower is covered in both. As is Waterford Crystal (both the former business and newer visitor's centre).
And we have overlap/redundancy between the "notable features" and "history" sections. (Including the stuff about the sieges, Urbs Intacta background, etc.)
To my mind, much of the text in the "notable features" section could be merged/moved/redrafted so some of it goes "up" to the history section. While other parts of it would go "down" to the "places of interest" section. As it stands, its a bit of a mishmash of both...
Resolved. It's been nearly a month and, not having heard other thoughts or objections, I've gone ahead and merged/moved/de-duplicated the content in the "notable features" section. And removed that section heading. This involved moving some of it -- the "history" stuff) to the "history" section, the "geo" stuff to the "geography" section, and the "of interest" stuff to the "place of interest" section. Inevitably some of it was redundant/duplicated/questionable and this remained on the cutting-room floor. (Including the text about the "urbs intacta" origin (which appeared almost verbatim in two places), Reginald's Tower being the "most recognisable landmark" text (which may be true but was unsupported), and the stuff about Waterford Crystal being "famous", "internationally known" and "highly sought after" (which is less-than-neutral and also unsupported/unattributed).
