Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Business directory[edit]

Earlier versions of the article included a list of businesses: these are not proper for an encyclopedia article: the information can be found elsewhere and will then be subject to updating. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:19, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Page not moved. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine, Kerrier → Constantine, Cornwall — Proposed name follows normal conventions and is unambiguous. Can't move over redirect. Johnbod (talk) 15:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine, Cornwall is currently a dab page, not a redirect. DuncanHill (talk) 15:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry - do you agree that a) this is wrong, and b) the present name here is wrong? Johnbod (talk) 16:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

I closed this as not moved. As there are 3 Constantines on the dab page, you have a problem in trying to move it. If you can show that Constantine, Kerrier is much more well known than the other entries, then it is possible to call this page the primary topic and thus "poach" the name, the dab page name would then have to be altered to something like Constantine, Cornwall (disambiguation), and a hatnote would have to be added to the top of this Article's page to inform readers where to find the other pages. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever. But it should be changed - "Kerrier" is far too obscure to use as a disambiguator by itself. Your new hatnote is wrong too: for other places with the same name (of which there are many) see Constantine. Johnbod (talk) 01:43, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this page should be moved. Kerrier is no longer a local government unit and is obscure as a disambiguator. There is only one other Constantine on the dab page, which does not even have its own article, is not mentioned in the article which is linked from the dab page entry, and does not seem to appear on the Ordnance Survey map. This Constantine is a relatively large and important village and parish (pop. 1,705), the other Constantine is neither. The third entry on the dab page, Constantine Bay, is not usually known as Constantine, and should really be just a "see also".--Mhockey (talk) 22:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done and done, based on this discussion. This one is clearly the "Constantine, Cornwall", Constantine Bay is Constantine Bay. From what I can tell, the hamlet named "Constantine" in St Merryn Parish is in fact Constantine Bay, once the site of a chapel and well dedicated to a Saint Constantine.[2]--Cúchullain ^t/c 12:28, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cornish name[edit]

What is the source of the Cornish name translation? I have heard that "Lan" prefixes could be interpreted as any sacred enclosure, such as a burial ground. The name can't be used as an argument for a pre-conquest monastery. However, I am not a Cornish speaker and stand to be corrected. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 15:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
