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] penzance?

The article's lead sentence says the line runs from St. Erth to St. Ives, but the table of stations says it runs from Penzance to St. Ives. One is correct for the physical branch, the other for train services. Is there a policy for this sort of thing for branch lines? I'm going to make them consistent by deleting Penzance from the table, but would have no objection of someone added it back and adjusted the wording of the lead, if that was felt better. 207.176.159.90 07:47, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signalling

This article used to have some interesting information in it on the unusual way the line was signalled. What happened to it? The article history makes no mention of it suggesting that the history itself has been edited (a not unknown occurence). The info was definitely there a few months ago.
