- 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] British or Cornish=
Some unregistered editors wish to describe the subject of this article as "British" rather than "Cornish". Why? Vernon White . . . Talk 18:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Simple ... he is British! Should you think reference be made to Cornwall then this should ALSO be included. Please remember that readers outside the UK, who make up the bulk of Wikipedia, (i) will not know the finer points of British regions, (ii) want to know facts! And that include him being British. Why do you insist on changing this correct, and more helpful, description? Why not include British? I can not see what wrong with the article included reference to British as well as Cornwall. Is there evidence showing he is not British? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.171.112 (talk) 16:04, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- On UK articles use the original author's usage unless consensus to change can be reached. Readers outside the UK can always click on a Wikilink if they are unfamiliar woth the descriptor "Cornish> PLEASE sign your posts. DuncanHill (talk) 21:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- But this relates to English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh. There is nothing about the origins from individual counties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.171.112 (talk) 21:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
