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?!

[edit] Headings
If any body is wondering why this page has had a few headings added - I just thought that it would make things clearer and look less like a mass of text. The historical content of this article I think is amazingly in depth and I have only changed the format of the article and nothing inside (except a few small additions about local government etc) I dont think what I have done is perfect either.

I rewrote this on it's temp page, the copyright violation should be cleared. Rx StrangeLove 03:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
What copyvio? I wrote the original from scratch. I took some of the information from a source but I wrote it in my own words. I have no idea why you destroyed my decent stub and rewrote it (poorly) but I know for certain that I wrote it from scratch. Are you sure you didn't pick it up from a mirror?

- Please see my talk page for the explanation, the version replaced was not the one he wrote.... Rx StrangeLove 04:35, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed. A misunderstanding caused by my not being able to see deleted versions. Grace Note 05:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Re-write
Who deleted all the additional stuff that I added?
I've put it all back
PS. Its my all my own work - no copyright infrignments HayleEye 1:20, 06 December 2005 (UTC)
Actually, I don't care. You replaced what was there with your text. You didn't add it. Work with what's there, will you? Grace Note 04:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

- Some excellent detailed stuff here whoever wrote it - it would be even better with a few references to back up some of the history. I don't mind going through and wikifying and integrating the references into the text if one of the original authors could jot down some of the sources that the information came from here?

- I have done a spell and grammer check, which included some minimal rewriting and merging of a few paragraphs. A few good sources and references would make this a really excellent article.LessHeard vanU 16:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Peter de Savary
I think that is his name. I understand that the above named individual purchased the Harbour, announcing various schemes, but later sold it in much the same state as when bought. de Savary has also had interests in Lands End and Penzance Drydock, so he is notable in West Cornwall.
From the local media it seems that various projects come and go regarding the area. Does anyone have any good information about this?LessHeard vanU 16:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
