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!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
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 nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Several problems with this part of the article: lack of sources, sub-standard English (although I already fixed most of that) and a contradiction of sorts: how can many surfers have attempted to ride the wave if it only occurs randomly every two years? Also, I don't know if the reference to the novel by Horowitz is worth a mention (although it is where I learned about the wave). Vadigor12:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think the tone isn't quite appropriate in this section:
It's not clear what "Many surfers have attempted to ride the wave" means
"Just look up the coast..." feels a bit too emotive for an encyclopaedia article
The comment about the mass media ("At least three times per year, the mass media spreads half-truths, inconsistencies and plain rubbish about the cribbar.") doesn't seem to be neutral point of view.
I have re-written the article (hopefully in an encyclopedic tone) and removed the 'Tone' tag. I've also removed the "surf report" links as they fail WP:ELNO. The article still needs additional inline citations so the 'Refimprove' tag should remain for now. Andy F (talk) 07:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
