This article gives only one interpretation of the battle, based on older sources. This leads it to be far too definite about who was involved in the battle and fails to consider alternative locations for the battle itself. The modern debate is better covered in the article on Y Gododdin, from which properly sourced arguments could be drawn to improve this article Monstrelet (talk) 15:59, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Same goes for Battle of Raith. I'm not sure why we should have two pages on this subject. – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 20:29, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A good starting point is Koch’s work (1995). He makes the unassailable point that the Germanic tribes are a minor concern in the poem and suggests it equates to a victory mentioned in one of Taliesin’s poems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tallhwch (talk • contribs) 01:26, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
