Monmouth Cap

(

)

... that according to Shakespeare, Henry V, who was born in Monmouth, approved of Welshmen wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps (pictured)?

St Davids Day is the 1st of March when leeks are meant to be worn...

Article is well-written and well-cited. Hook is cited and interesting. Pic has the proper licensing. I'd say we're good to go! --Coemgenus (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Coemgenus - I shall move this to March 1st as MonmouthpediA should be there for St David's Day Victuallers (talk) 09:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Can I suggest this image is used instead? The only known example of an original Monmouth Cap, dating from the 16th century, on display at Monmouth Museum Mrjohncummings (talk) 09:54, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm concerned that some of the phrasing in this article is nearly identical to that used by this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I have changed the image to the one suggested and treaked the text. There are some false positives thrown up because of the long (and relevant) quote. I think you'll find its OK now Victuallers (talk) 20:57, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Further tweaked a little - hope I haven't made it worse! Apologies for my originally inadequate paraphrasing - what I assumed to be technical terminology concerning knitting styles is not something I felt qualified to change substantially. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:31, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I have gone through this and there seems to be no major paraphrasing concerns now (not counting direct quotations). This is good to go again. Cheers, Zangar (talk) 13:32, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
