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?!

Typo[edit]

On February 21st 2008, Strawbridge cooked spotted Dick on Ready Steady Cook on BBC2.

That must be a typo. What is it supposed to mean? Riqnevala (talk) 15:34, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a typo, but rather a bizarrely named British dessert. :) I've added a link to the article to clarify. Oenone575 (talk) 07:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Link[edit]

The link to "Bumblebee Farm" seems dead. JackStonePGD (talk) 05:41, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the whole content. It was never very encyclopedic. It first appears to have been supported by a website offering the farm for sales, and then modified by someone from the exwife's camp to spin about her and sourced to her website. there was never any third party reliable sources interested in it. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 06:09, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest that the Escape to the Chateau has added four series each of three episodes. Alan knowles (talk) 19:54, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:03, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's time to remove the protection. This has been on since 2014. People should not request every edit, this is not wiki spirit. 109.64.204.83 (talk) 19:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Television[edit]

Should the television programmes he has been in be mentioned earlier in the article?Vorbee (talk) 17:27, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Children's names[edit]

@Possibly: I've only really watched Strawbridge on the BLR programmes but on occasional glimpses of chateau he does seem to have involved his children on those structured reality shows (I'm relying on my memory) so cited name mention may be more relevant. If its good for Madonna & Katie Price it ought to be good for Strawbridge; however in the Strawbridge article, which is smaller, the naming carries more overall weight. I suspect some of the content you removed was not carefully checked for source WP:HIJACK so probably best it went anyway. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:35, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
