Endless scrolling of Google (creative commons selected), Flickr and Geograph gets tiring, especially if a great image is very hidden, and doesn't automatically present itself when you type "Denbighshire". Happy to switch back to Eglwyseg. I'll try and find a better coastal image, but I do prefer this

I can tell why you chose each image and it's a decent selection of subjects. If you've got somewhere in mind for the Vale of Llangollen image I'd stick with Eglwyseg here – 'big hill' does read a bit better at infobox size than 'expansive panorama of valley'. The current Rhuddlan image isn't bad, and

I've been meaning to comment, don't worry! I don't have a strong preference on the top image; the current one is more focussed, but your proposal definitely conveys the idea that Denbighshire is very rural. I'd suggest finding an image of Rhuddlan Castle where the building is more prominent, and much

Just changed the infobox field on the control of the County Council from "Multi-party" to "Non-party". As of 1999, 24 of the 47 councillors were independents, and this reflects the usual Welsh semi-rural practice of electing councillors on their own merits rather than by party label. I was just

A map illustrating the new boundaries of Denbighshire (since 1996) and comparing them with the old boundaries of Denbighshire (pre 1974) and the neighbouring counties (labelled with their names) before and after the 1974 would be exceedingly useful to those of us who don't know Wales at all.

Be free to suggest better quality images of the same landmarks, and would happly apply. Be free to also suggest using different criteria and landmarks and would happily discuss what is best to represent the county, although this one was difficult to balance geographically and topically, and

General: Add Prestatyn sculpture to balance the need of a coastal image and a vertical one, but any better recommendations are appreciated, not entirely supportive of that choice. If there was a castle to represent, decided Rhuddlan, as it is on flatter inland terrain and the place of the

I removed the 'league table' of school results because Estyn doesn't inspect schools annually, so the exam results cited won't necessarily be directly comparable. People may be aware that since 2001, the Assembly Government hasn't published individual school performance

here are all the coastal images, that are also vertical that I can find, any preferences? Couldn't find vertical ones of Prestatyn (aside the proposed statue), prefer the promenade as it shows the coast a bit, but open to any, or if you have an other suggestions.

While open to change the image of Rhuddlan, all the other images were quite dull colours or showed the ruined sides of the castle, so chose that one because it was bright, showed the main part of the castle (but yes from afar), while also avoiding the image

The Prestatyn image was chosen because it was vertical and showed the coast in some way, most images of the Sky tower are just the tower and the sky, and felt that the coast itself has to be represented. (although

I reckon it's between your original image and the raised Pont y Ddraig, what do you think? The latter is quite a striking image.

like yourself I'm not entirely sold on the Prestatyn sculpture. The town has a 'sky tower' doesn't it, would that be any good?
