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] Article rating

I have rated this article as High importance, but have a niggling feeling that it could qualify as Top importance. In the world of Mining Engineering, CSM is an institution of world class and renown, but of course to anyone unfamiliar with the discipline it may seem like an obscure provincial college. Any thoughts? The article does need work, particularly references establishing CSM's position in the mining world. DuncanHill (talk) 00:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merger of Associateship of the Camborne School of Mines into Camborne School of Mines

It has been proposed to merge the Associateship article into the main article for CSM. Comments and thoughts below please:

• Neutral I have no strong feeling either way, but the ACSM article does need references supporting its standing in mining engineering circles. I suspect that these are more likely to be found in print sources rather than online. DuncanHill (talk) 01:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
• merge they are simply two sides of the same coin; it is difficult to see how the associate article could serve any useful purpose that would not be better served by inclusion in the main article. Abtract (talk) 18:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• status quo There a great deal of info that could be added to the Associateship of the Camborne School of Mines page. The Associateship of the Camborne School of Mines is inderpendant from the school and university and as a result would be better off on its own.Cheveney (talk) 10:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Repair University Infobox

I have repaired the infobox following the loss of the CSM crest, I have uploaded a copy of the crest that I created back in 2003 when I was a student at the school Cheveney (talk) 10:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
