Recreation Ground (Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain)
- ... that the Recreation Ground (pictured) in Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain formerly had to be cleared of cow dung before each football match?

5x expanded by 30 April. Well-sourced throughout. Hook is interesting (Extra marks for poo!) and sourced to the BBC. No copyvio by any stretch of the imagination (2% max) and QPQ done. '''tAD''' (talk) 23:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

- I would prefer dung, but this is a euphemism rather than an exaggeration (i.e. "cow shite") so it could fly I suppose. The admins can have the final word. '''tAD''' (talk) 12:28, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
- I recommend cow dung instead of "cow poo", as more specific and as having its own article, to be linked in the hook. I also recommend including the city's name with a link, rather than just saying that it's in Wales. See alt below. North America1000 12:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

that the Recreation Ground (pictured) in Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, Wales used to need to be cleared of cow dung before each football match?
- No, I disagree. I think it is much more hooky using poo than dung. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 23:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

- But 3 editors have already agreed that "dung" is preferable. Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- I support using poo vs dung. I have never heard of cow dung before. How about cow patties? That is what it looks like. Cheers!

- This being an encyclopedia, it's generally advisable to use encyclopedic terms. Notice that poo does not have it's own article (just a disambiguation page), and cow patty redirects to the Cow dung article. North America1000 07:39, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I see others do not agree with me on my attempt to make it more hooky so I will accept dung being used. I defiantly would not want "patties" as that sounds like an Americanism on a British hook (no offense!). Can you or Template:Ping re-add the green tick please? The C of E God Save the Queen!
