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?!

[edit] Disambiguation

Should this be a dab page with links to all three sites, or should this page point to the Du Maurier novel with dab links to the building and the film? | Klaw ¡digame! 03:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

No, it should be about the place, with dab links to the novel (inspired by the place) and the film (inspired by the novel).DuncanHill 11:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I have just dab'd Jamaica Inn to either Jamaica Inn (novel) or Jamaica Inn (film) in those articles which were incorrectly linked to this article, which should help. DuncanHill 12:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Locations

I've removed the reference to the exterior of the inn being used for the film version of the novel - if you watch the film its quite clear that 98% of the shooting - including all of the exteriors - was carried out on studio-based sets with the only exceptions being stock-shots of waves crashing against rugged coastline. The Complete Hitchcock also states that filming took place in London rather than Cornwall Mighty Antar (talk) 22:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
