		This article falls within the scope of the the Cornwall Wikiproject, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of Cornwall and all things Cornish. Contributions and new members welcome, you can edit the attached page, do a task from our to-do list, or visit the project page, and contribute to discussion.
		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 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, etc) and should not flow over into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - thats the reason we all do this right?!

[edit] Pedroc=Padraic?

Pedroc is suspiciously close to the name "Patrick" (anon.)

Yes, but hundreds of years separate the stories, and Patrick was extremely, extremely famous. It's not likely that the Welsh would have cribbed him. Also, the churches show up in historical record with their names going way back, and there are sufficient church records to suggest that this was a very real person. Now, whether he went to India in his 70's, etc., is another matter. Geogre 10:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "the newly adopted unofficial flag of Devon"

..."the newly adopted unofficial flag of Devon"... Ah, yes. Does it replace then the former unofficial flag? And then, if unofficial, by whom has it been adopted, one might wonder? As the cultural horizons of simple folk collapse inwards, shall there be distinctive and "newly adopted unofficial flags" for each parish of Devon, and ultimately a "newly adopted unofficial flag" flying over every fortified farmstead, I suppose. A sense of deja-vu: didn't you folks already do that in the fifth and sixth centuries? --Wetman 19:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
