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?!

This should be moved to The Lost Gardens of Heligan. The 'the' is part of the name, and so cannot be left out. - Kwekubo

I checked this out before moving, looked like it was common to use without "the". We don't always have to use the fullest formal title imaginable, for instance the article is at United States not the official name United States of America. Stan 23:42, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image moved to commons

Hi, I had altered the image link because if you go to the image page, the link to this page is in red. I do not quite understand how to link between the commons and Wikipedia - could you fix the link, or show me how? Thanks, Marky1981 10:03, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mud Maid

The Mud Maid sculpture should be credited to "Sue and Peter Hill", not to Susan Hill.John Gibbens 15:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Below is a copy of what I left on User:Johngibbens talk page:

Hi, you left the following on my talk page:

The photograph of the Mud Maid at Heligan was taken by me. Why have you claimed it for your own?

I am assuming you are talking about the image at Image:TheLostGardensOfHeligan-MudMaid.JPG. This photograph was taken by me on 11th August 2004 and uploaded to Wikipedia on 26th March 2005. Someone then moved/copied it to Wikimedia sometime later. I am not sure why you think this is your photo, however I will act in good faith and assume this is a misunderstanding. The page clearly shows I uploaded it. If you still dispute that it is mine, I still have the original digital photo on my laptop, along with many others from Heligan and Cornwall taken at the same time. The photo in question is actually cropped, and I have the original uncropped one. Marky1981 15:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No pineapple pit page?!

I can't believe it - nobody has made a page on the pineapple pit! I will set about one when I get a chance.... It seems like a wonderful piece of redundant Victorian technology that should be preserved for people to understand on wikipedia... If anyone has a chance before I do, please have a go at making one (page that is, not pit). --Tomhannen 21:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
