[edit] New member

Hi ... I am offering a WEA course on Local History in Penryn, and have been invited to join the WikiProject Cornwall, which I am pleased to do. I am not Cornish, but have lived in Cornwall since the turn of the Millennium, grew up in North Devon (which is much more similar to North Cornwall than anywhere in England), and lived in Plymouth for a number of years working for, amongst other organisations, the Devon and Cornwall Development Company. I have always had an enthusiastic amateur interest in history, an encyclopaedic knowledge of irrlevant facts about the past, and a passion for the dynamics about how the peoples of these islands have evolved and why, especially in this unique peninsula in which I was born and brought up and now live, very happily. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrian Watts (talk • contribs) (comment copied from MemberTalk)

[edit] Cornish toponyms

Hello WikiProject Cornwall,

I just wondered if there are any places (settlements specifically) outside of Cornwall (perhaps those in neighbouring Devon) that have a verifiable place-name in the Cornish language?

If so, would this project expect that name to be included in the article, even though it's outside of Cornwall? --Jza84 |  Talk  22:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Museums in Cornwall

Could I ask for some help accessing local knowledge, from members of this wikiproject, on the behalf of the new WikiProject Museums? We are currently trying to identify articles within the Museum projects scope (& develop guidelines to help improve them etc). There is a List of museums in Cornwall. Could you take a look at the list for your local area and see if any are missing or create articles for any red links. Could you also add the new project banner "{{WikiProject Museums}}" to the Talk pages of the articles, so that we can identify those in need of work etc. Any help appreciated &, if anyone is interested you are welcome to join the project or discuss Museum related articles on the Project Talk Page.— Rod talk 13:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tregenna Castle

It was suggested by SuggestBot that I may like to improve the Tregenna Castle article. After a little bit of research, I concluded that Tregenna Castle is just a hotel with crenellations. It had a brief initial spell as a private house to the High Sheriff of Cornwall, apart from that I could find nothing notable. I was tempted to AFD it, but felt uncomfortable doing that as an outsider. (I have to visit Cornwall later this year). So I decided just to bring the article to the attention of the Cornwall project, to get some local input on its notability. MortimerCat (talk) 16:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

This was one of the first railway-owned resort hotels (as opposed to hotels at junction stations and terminals). I'll see what I can do to flesh it out. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I've expanded it and put it in for DYK, but I can't find any references that support the information about the original builders and sale date of 1871. Can anyone help with these? Geof Sheppard (talk) 13:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
