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] Mining started when?

The article states that mining in Cornwall started in the "stone age" in 1000BC, and then says 2000BC to 1000BC. The neolithic in Britain finished about 2150BC. BY definition Tin is added to copper to make tin. So should the article state that Tin mining started at the beginning of the Bronze Age, circa 2150BC. --Dumbo1 13:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South Crofty?

There have been recent developments at South Crofty mine, so I think the article needs a bit of an update. EdJogg (talk) 01:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
