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?!

Now much information has been added it would be worth checking this against the OxfordDNB article----Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is this the same "Dr Borlase" who persecuted the methodists? (See John Wesley's Journal) Roger Pearse (talk) 18:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could be - the ODNB has the following "In the summers of 1744 and 1745 he came into conflict with John Wesley, who was successfully recruiting many of Borlase's parishioners to Methodism, and in his capacity as a magistrate he summoned Wesley before the local court." DuncanHill (talk) 18:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can't remember the source but Wesley escaped the press gang because he was a gentleman. Some of his companions were not so lucky. Jowaninpensans (talk) 14:24, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
However, Berresford Ellis states that the persecution was described as being carried out by a Dr Borlase, at a time before William had earned his doctorate, but after his brother Walter, Vicar of Madron, had earned his.Captdoc (talk) 10:45, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
