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] Removals

I have removed the following:

"Argument exists between Devon and Cornwall as to which "invented" clotted cream and also the etiquette of cream teas. In Cornwall the jam is spread on the scone (or split - a type of bread roll) first, and then the cream, whilst in Devon the order is reversed. The advantage of the former is to allow the jam to soak into the scone whilst the latter maximises the amount of cream that can be applied."

If this is to be said anywhere, it should be on the cream tea page. But in any case, unless credible evidence can be brought forward for a consistent different of practice between Devon and Cornwall in this matter, this tale is not worth including. As a long time resident in Devon and a frequent visitor to Cornwall, with a fondness for cream teas, I have encountered both practices in both counties. I'm sure different families have different habits as with most things to do with food. seglea 21:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the following, added by an anon:

My name is Krystal and I just went to Devon County over the summer and I had the most delicious clotted cream in the world. It was very good. Especially with the scones and the strawberry jam and the Devonshire cream tea. The scones looked exactly like Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) biscuits (for those of you who do not know what those are, they are biscuits from a fast food fried chicken restaurant. It is in America, but there are some countries in Europe that also have KFCs.) Clotted cream comes from jersey cows, you cannot buy them on eBay. (Trust me, I've tried.) That makes me very sad because I want a jersey cow for myself to make my own, homemade, clotted cream. Thank you, that is all. I will expand more on this topic later. (and my experience with clotted cream.) Have a nice day! PEACE

Krystal, it's nice to hear about your experiences, but they don't really belong in Wikipedia's article - maybe on your blog. seglea 23:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It's rather amusing to suppose that Krystal reads Talk pages. PEACE! Pqrstuv 06:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

what is the difference between clotted cream and devon cream? could someone please included information on both? inTHANKSvance

that would be adTHANKSvance, i.e. THANKS "in" ad-vance, not THANKS "in" in-vance.

Simply, in the UK, there isn't one! Mdcollins1984 09:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The Devon Cream Company makes a distinction. They sell Devon cream and clotted cream as two distinct products. I'll remove the sentence which claims that they're identical but in the US but I'm afraid I won't be able to replace it with correct information.

How does clotted cream differ from the American "cream cheese"? grahamharbison 00:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where isn't it available?

"When clotted cream is not commercially available..." - this implies that there are places where you can't easily get hold of the stuff. (I'm British, so don't have this problem.) Where might those places be? You don't see "When ranch dressing is not commercially available" on its page, after all, despite the fact that many people in the UK have never heard of it! 86.143.48.55 (talk) 18:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
