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] Comment

Can someone provide some evidence for Rory McGrath being a former pupil? I've never heard that he was a pupil at Truro School and he's not mentioned in the official book with all the other notable FPs. Bretonbanquet 23:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, McGrath went to Redruth school (it may have still been a grammar school in those days). My father claims to remember him. Danfrank 11:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Former pupils

Who keeps making up these people that went to Truro school? I checked out Robert Lindsay and he never went to Truro. To say that this was spin connencted with the Truro Old Boys or some of the Truro staff would be wrong because spin is partly based on the truth, whereas this is a complete fabrication.~~ - Ok try not to overreact too much...having a go at other wikipedians isn't the best way forward. just removal and an explanation would do, not throwing accusations around.

Hi - Robert Lindsay was my fault. I was sure that's what I had been told. Crossed wires somewhere. Sorry. Mdcollins1984 10:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed - Lindsay definitely didn't go to Truro - the FPs listed at the moment are absolutely confirmed, and it's certain that there are no other "forgotten" notable FPs, except for David Penhaligon and Benjamin Luxon. I might add these unless someone else does. Bretonbanquet 15:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, added the two above, and Julia Goldsworthy Mdcollins1984 11:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Bold text
