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?!

Heamoor originally consisted of two areas - the Hea which is the southern part of the village where the main road enters the village from Penzance and then to the east of this towards St Thomas' Church. The moor occupies the area at the opposite end of the village and could be seen as the poorly drained area now occupied by the playing fields of Mount's Bay Secondary School and the housing estate nearby. The reason for the moor was the poor drainage which in turn was due to the outcrop of an Felsite dyke (also called Elvan)that can be seen forming the ridge where Poltair woods abuts onto the road leading from Heamoor to Trengwainton. This felsite chanels water onto the ground below it giving rise to the swampy conditions.

I think you put this in the wrong place, this is the discussion page (only for chatting about how to maintain the article - see tabs at the top)! Good that you're getting involved though, and nice to see the extra article detail here. If you're interested in contributing regularly to Penwith articles, then some of us have set up a wikiproject here at Wikipedia:WikiProject geography of Penwith, Cornwall to try and organise our efforts. Penwith articles seem to be a bit neglected at wikipedia, so we set this up to try and rectify things! Hope to see you again Mammal4 16:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
