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?!

@Anythingyouwant, it appears that Charles Thomas reconsidered the inscription on the Penzance cross in 1998 and came to the conclusion that it actually reads RECGISI CRUX or RAEGISI CRUX meaning "the cross of Recgisi or Raegisi". This overturns Macalister's reading and puts much more doubt on the existence of Ricatus - see CISP at PNZAN/1/2, and there's more in Thomas's Penzance Market Cross : a Cornish Wonder re-wondered of 1999 (biblio details on COPAC). Will you amend the article to reflect this latest scholarly interpretation or should I? —SMALLJIM 17:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:Smalljim, and thanks for the info. I guess what you're saying is that the cross may not include the critical word "regis", meaning "king". I think this might be the best source for us to cite: Thomas, Charles. Christian Celts: Messages & Images, p. 186 (Tempus Pub Limited, 1998). Please feel free to insert the new information, unless I get to it first.Anythingyouwant (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I haven't referenced Christian Celts because I don't have a copy and prefer not to use Google snippets: I think everything Thomas states there (in the snippets I can see: p.186 & 192) is covered by the other refs, but if you want to add it, please do. —SMALLJIM 21:56, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
