Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

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?!

This article reads like it has come straight from the club management and contains alot of POV - In particular in places reads like a fan site needs work Reedgunner 11:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Cornish Pirates (low-importance) needs to be moved up the importance scale of WikiProject:Cornwall or Saltash United F.C. (mid-importance) needs to be moved down. One is in the second tier at national level whilst the other is at level ten! I would have thought the Pirates should be mid with their increased exposure on Sky TV
Truro City F. C. has not been assessed for Cornwall, (low-importance? at the moment) - am I allowed to do it? Jowaninpensans (talk) 12:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Penzance rfc badge.png[edit]

Image:Penzance rfc badge.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

WP Piracy?[edit]

I saw that this rugby team article was added to WP:PIRACY. Is this article appropriate for the Piracy project? I'll have to compare the Pittsburgh Pirates and Tampa Bay Buccaneers articles. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, those sports teams aren't part of the project. Anybody care to make a case for keeping this article in the project? --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:27, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has commented, so I'm removing the WP Piracy tag from this article. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 12:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Structure for page[edit]

I feel the Cornish Pirates page needs restructuring to merit its position as Cornwall’s top sports club in terms of league position and support. It seems to have developed piecemeal. Perhaps it should look something like below. What do other people think?Jowaninpensans (talk) 17:00, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

whoops, was hoping this would start as a new section but didn't quite turn out as I expected, sorry, still learning Jowaninpensans (talk) 17:05, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
