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?!

Toponymy[edit]

Hi Dave. One issue still outstanding from your FAC is the toponymy, which we discussed at the 14th bullet here. I'm still concerned about what seems to be OR/synth. Do you want to continue to press your Gaelic derivation, or should we simplify, as I suggested? —SMALL JIM 17:55, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with the simplification. I'm not certain that it quite reaches OR, but would rather not take the risk. Worm^TT(talk) 15:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done. But I'll keep an eye out for any sources that might provide a fuller or more recent derivation. —SMALL JIM 22:30, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Capt. Claxton[edit]

"A Captain Claxton" is almost surely Capt. Christopher Claxton, R.N.,ɐ a Member of Parliament and vocal anti-Empancipation spokesman. --Wetman (talk) 01:24, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
