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?!

Should the civil parish of Gweek have a separate page?

Is there enough to write that it needs to be split? Joe D (t) 22:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I would say probably not - most other Cornwall parishes only have one page. What extra information would you put in the two different pages? Mammal4 08:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

There is no "History of Gweek" listed in the catalogue of Cornwall County Library. The quayside buildings include the Customs House referred to in the article. I'll try to get a photograph. It is said that the port developed as waterborne access to Helston silted up. Perhaps there are references in general Cornish history.

Is there any aspect of the article that is felt to be in particular need of better references?===Vernon White (talk) 09:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll explain:

• "Clare's Cornwall Pages" may or may not be factually accurate, but it's a personal website and these are not generally considered usable in articles as they have not been formally peer reviewed or published on trusted information sources and could contain inaccuracies.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 10:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
• The rest of the online references don't actually back up the statements being made in the article - they're merely links to the main pages of different organisations, without actually verifying the facts. Slightly pedantic, I know.

See WP:RS for more info.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 10:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Have changed 'a boatbuilding firm' which is incorrect to the companies at Gweek Quay Boatyard.

[edit] Gweek radio

I reverted a strange reference to "Gweek radio" which gave no real information and seems to be an attempt at humour/humor. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 08:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
