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?!

I don't know that part of Bodmin, so can't comment on the accuracy of the pics, but Interestingly both the brown willy and king arthur pics had incorrect coordinates (pointing to Glossop) which I have now removed. If the coords are wrong then it is feasible that the topic could be wrong. Any experts / locals care to comment? --

Ok, this has gone on long enough. Consensus has agreed that the term Cornwall, England, United Kingdom is the best way to describe a location in Cornwall. Now if anyone has any objections, please feel free to say, but otherwise do not continue to change the wording.

It has been discussed on other articles (
Cornwall,
Truro, to name just two), obviously a few years ago though, so you will have to go quite far back on the history to find it.

So why do you revert to simply "Cornwall, England" at
Brown Willy, when you know full well that someone was blocked for doing exactly that? Why didn't you employ this consensus? Anyway, I don't think anyone believes that the hopelessly clunky "Cornwall, England, UK" version is the best way to describe it - it's the just the only thing English nationalists will accept without endless edit warring.

"Cornwall, England, United Kingdom" manages to irk both the English nationalists and the Cornish nationalists equally, without unduly offending the rest of the world. There's a link to some of the previous discussions from the Cornwall Wiki-project. The formulation is fairly stable, but every 6 months or so either an English nationalist or a Cornish nationalist turns up and starts unilaterally imposing their own preferred wording.

I'll add - there is a big Cornwall Wikiproject box at the head of this page. In the drop down box within it is a link to a guideline page addressing the issue. I do sometimes wonder if there is any point continuing to maintain the project when clearly none of you can be bothered to actually take a look at it or the helpful links to rpevious discussions that it provides. I'd have thought you'd all have better things to do with your time and bandwidth than to edit-war over such a small thing.

I don't think this spat counts as an edit war, particularly. As you know, originally we were all simply reverting the edits of the blocked editor, the IP who edited solely in an inflammatory fashion. Given that we now all know about this consensus, we should concentrate on applying it uniformly, rather than on selected articles, which is what has arisen here.

Are you talking about before I knew about this consensus that was reached elsewhere? There's your explanation. What's yours for editing against consensus at
Brown Willy when you already knew about that consensus and were enforcing it here at
Bodmin Moor?

Alright, I think this has been resolved. In case any more disruptive editors come and change it again, I suggest this text be left here to prevent future edit-warring.

Re: Country
Simple English Wikipedia being outside the project's scope is not bound by the consensus. Additional Cornwall-related content there would be welcome, e.g. more villages or civil parishes articles.--

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on
Bodmin Moor. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

The format will be based on Wales's successful
Awaken the Dragon which saw
over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.

In this country, we use miles and feet to measure distance and height. At most, we should provide a metric equivalent in brackets afterwards, for the convenience of readers abroad who may be more used to that system. But the metric measurement should never be given first, and never alone, as happens at least once on this page. — Preceding
