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] "The deer did not like the habitat, and escaped"

How can deer escape from an island?

Samson, Tresco and Bryher join on an extreme low tide.

HAHA, I had a good laugh when I read that.

[edit] Michael Morpugo

There's a book I read when I was little called Why the Whales Came by Michael Morpugo, about a community living on the Isles of Scilly. It featured Samson, saying that the isle was cursed after some narwhals were beached on the island and the locals killed them for ivory instead of trying to get them back in the sea. Is this actually a traditional local legend or was it simply made up by Morpugo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holy triple m (talk • contribs) 14:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
