| 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?!

Whilst the country of Cornwall is unfortunately part of England, the peninsula is nearly surrounded on all sides by water: the Atlantic Ocean, the English Channel and the Tamar River. There used to be kings in Cornwall; it had its own parliament. It also had its own language, a form of cetlic.
[edit] reformat
This article remains a bit scant on info, I have however done the following 1)Remove the factual errors - For example there is no civil parish of Pendeen 2)Removed the statements about poor development - this is an opinion not a fact ( I agree mind!!) 3)Added some links

[edit] Photographs
I've put the photo of a Trewellard milestone on, just because I've nothing better and it amuses me that its creator has squeezed the long name onto the narrow stone. There must be better pics representing the place. I've lost my pics of Geevor Mine and Levant :( JimChampion 20:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
