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?!

A fact from King Arthur and King Cornwall appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 June 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
It's clear that this ballad was written in the Percy Folio, which is from the 17th century. However, it's unclear when the ballad itself originated. Is there any further information on that? Also, is it known whether it was ever written down prior to the Percy Folio, or was that the first time? -Bbik 23:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It survives only in the Percy Folio (the parts that survive, that is). The language suggests it was written around the time of the Percy Folio manuscript in the 17th century, or at least not much earlier. It is unknown whether the ballad is based on an older story, but much of the material in the manuscript is.--Cúchullaint/c 01:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch. It consistently says "Danish axe", along with the "Collen brand" (sword from Cologne) and the "Millaine" (Milanese) knife. It could be referring to the Danish axe.--Cúchullaint/c 09:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking the same thing as Soetermans. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how long the Danish axe has been known by that name. Good work on the article. ValentinianT / C 10:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
