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?!

Expert needed[edit]

Someone with a little more expertise should go over this article, the quote is inappropriate and probably violates WP:fair use. Cheers, Jack (talk) 00:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What particular sections of "Fair Use" does the Editor think this violates, please? It is from a newspaper article, advertising a course in making Cornish hedges, presumably supplied as a press release by an expert, who runs the courses. The probability that anyone would claim compensation for copyright violation is, IMHO, very low.

I do not understand why the Editor regards the quote as "inappropriate". It neatly defines how a Cornish hedge is made, which the linked The Guild of Cornish Hedgers article does not. Would it be better if the two articles were merged? Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 22:37, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just think it's a messy way to start an article, a bit more information would be a much better introduction to the subject. I agree that it's unlikely someone would "claim compensation" but that's not why you don't just copy and paste everything. The Guild of Cornish Hedgers on the other hand seems to be advertising the Guild rather than describing it and is blatently copied from this site. Is it really notable enough to deserve its own page? Cheers, Jack (talk) 23:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. More work needed (as with most WP articles!) Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 08:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How different?[edit]

How different is a Cornish hedge from a Devon hedge, other than its location? Haven't I seen something similar in Gloucestershire? Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 20:52, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Cornish hedge started being built in west Cornwall ~4000 bc and gradually spread east, eventually reaching Devon. As far as I can make out the devon hedge is just a version of the Cornish one. In Cornwall most of the hedges are Cornish hedges rather than hedgerows, as far as I can see there doesn't seem to be a distinction made in the Devon hedge article statistics between Devon hedges and hedgerows.
