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?!

I merged Cornish national tartan into this page. Much of the material was duplicated already; there doesn't seem to me to be a need for two separate pages. Terraxos 02:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "officially registered" tartans

As of now this article states "The following Cornish tartans have been officially registered or have been previously officially registered" and then goes on with a list of tartans with registry numbers. However, there are no refs to support this. It looks like the registry numbers are just the numbers used by the Scottish Tartans World Register which is has nothing to do with being "official", as anyone can "register" a tartan with them. Even the Cornish National Tartan doesn't have a real reference to a government website, only to genealogy webpage and another site which sells tartans.--Celtus (talk) 10:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the only "official" tartan seems to be Cornish National Tartan. The others are still seem to be non notable and piggy backing there way into the article. I propose moving the article to Cornish National Tartan. What do you think Talskiddy?--Celtus (talk) 07:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
