  • Symbol question.svg my main query about this would be what is meant by "it is said that..." That sounds a bit WP:WEASEL to me. Can we clarify who said that, and whether it's a myth, legend, or likely to be true etc? Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 10:50, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks Amakuru. I have clarified this in the article. I have taken the most recent writings (1995, 1998, 2009) as the most reliable and used these for the "Biography" section and presented the others (18th & 19th-century) under "Different accounts". Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 11:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping thanks for that. So do you think we need to say "is said to", or does the story seem to be beyond doubt? (i.e. they all agree that Glyndwr put Sele in the tree, but disagree on the precise details). If it's beyond doubt then we could say "that Welsh nobleman Hywel Sele was killed by Owain Glyndŵr and hidden in the hollow of a tree". The problem with "is said to have" is that we really need to clarify who did the saying! Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 13:50, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
The story has the ring of a legend or folk tale to me; I suspect it has some grounding in truth but may well have been embellished over the years. I have added a couple more references that describe it as a legend. Perhaps we could go with - Dumelow (talk) 15:56, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
  • ... that according to legend Welsh nobleman Hywel Sele was killed by Owain Glyndŵr and hidden in the hollow of a tree (pictured)?

Symbol confirmed.svg Great! I'm happy with that version, and all other conditions for DYK appear to be met, so this one is ready to go. Thanks for an interesting article.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:52, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
