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] Merge

It seems like the Battle and the Rebellion are essentially the same thing. It would make a lot more sense to have the background context of the rebellion in the same article as the battle, rather having separate articles and "see also's", it's more than an "also", it's basically repeated material across two articles. -- Stbalbach 15:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I've completed the proposed merge as there was no comment on either of the two pages. I've removed the duplicated material, and tried to correlate the two articles are they didn't always agree on dates and figures. I've also removed a lot of off topic links about the current politics of Cornwall, these should be placed on pages like Constitutional status of Cornwall and Cornish self-government movement. I still think that it needs to be properly referenced, but that could probably be done reasonably using the external links provided. Mammal4 10:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
