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?!

this song may/maynot be written by Will Coleman. i am finding this very dificult to prove/disprove, if anyone knows for sure, please help.

i belive the song refers to the pyre burning on the Tor's (at midsummer?)

the reference to leaping flames may be the leaping over the pyre

spriggans are traditionally belived to lurk/live in gorse, and there used to be an annual/ocasional burning in some areas, to remove them.

any proof for any of this would be very beneficial to this pageGwaytya 17:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The lyrics need to be moved to Wikisource regardless. If nothing can be added to the article beyond that, then the article will wind up being deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 17:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
