Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales[edit]

Sir John Rhys was the first chairman for the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, which is not noted within this article. Would it be possible for someone to add something regarding his work at the Commission?^[1] Thanks, Charles.rcahmw (talk) 16:37, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also cited the ODNB to clarify that this was a Royal commission, and that he remained in post until his death. Verbcatcher (talk) 00:32, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Rhys' or 'Rhŷs'?[edit]

Gaelicbow has changed the spelling of Rhys's surname to 'Rhŷs' in the lead, leaving the article title and rest of the of the article as 'Rhys'. Gaelicbow gave no explanation in their edit summary. We should be consistent throughout the article.

After brief research I favour 'Rhŷs'. This is mainly based on 'Rhŷs' in the ODNB article,[1] which is a highly-quality source that was revised in 2006. The Dictionary of Welsh Biography has 'Rhys' (with 'Rhŷs' in a photo caption),[2] but this article was written in 1959 so we should prefer the ODNB spelling. The National Library of Wales uses 'Rhŷs' in a webpage in English.[3] The photo on Commons has 'Rhŷs' in an old caption, which may have been specified by the Cymmrodorion.

I will revert Gaelicbow's edit as it gives confusing wording. However, I propose to rename the article to 'John Rhŷs', to change the opening to:

Sir John Rhŷs, (also spelled Rhys; 21 June 1840 – 17 December 1915)

and to change the rest of the article to 'Rhŷs'.
