See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines: Shortcut: WP:Cornwall Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here). This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and to improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in a state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussion before 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 if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty! 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 self-government movement, etc) and should not overflow into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Hey. Great Stub! I thought, though, that

and takes perhaps the worst battering from the waves of any of the world's lighthouse.

might be a bit too non-neutral/unsubstantiated. But it's here in case you or anyone disagrees! MDCore 23:07, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Riband

"The ship with the fastest time (in either direction) between a line of longitude running through the rock [sic] Bishop Rock and a similar line of longitude running through the Nantucket Lightship claimed the 'Blue Riband' prize for the fastest crossing." According to Blue Riband the eastern measuring point was Sandy Hook or Ambrose (Ambrose Lightship?). Kablammo 22:02, 25 June 2006 (UTC) The western point was Sandy Hook and later Ambrose; text corrected accordingly. For ships coming from the Mediterranean however the Starting point was Gibralter.
