		See drop down box for suggested article edit guidelines: Suggested article edit guidelines: Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here. This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussionbefore any major changes to the layout yourself. Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid is your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty! At the the Cornwall Wikiproject 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. These pages, and 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 self-government movement) and should not flow over into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - thats the reason we all do this right?!

"a boy was walking by the River Fowey when he discovered a large cat skull. ... the skull was minus its lower jaw but possessed two sharp, prominent incisors that suggested that it might have been a leopard."

Should this read "two sharp, prominent canines"? (Incisors are the smaller "front teeth", and canines are the large "fangs".) Cats normally have three incisors on each side in both the upper and lower jaws (thus this skull minus its lower jaw would have been expected to have six incisors and two canines.)
