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?!

Window representing the Risen Christ, at Feock Church, Cornwall
This may be the memorial window referred to in the article; it may also be described by Peter Beacham (2014) as "by J. Hall, a striking angel at the empty tomb".--Johnsoniensis (talk) 14:46, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The lead section concludes by stating that Ida Copeland "was one of the earliest women to join Parliament, sitting as a Conservative MP for Stoke on Trent from 1931–35". I think this claim is stretching the idea of earliest to the point where it could be argued to be misleading. She was elected nearly 13 years after Constance Markievicz (who admittedly never took her seat), and 12 years after Nancy Astor. Indeed by the time Copeland was elected several women had served in the house of commons, many elected in the 1920s. Indeed Margaret Bondfield had served as a cabinet minister, and Copeland's predecessor as Stoke's MP had been a woman, Lady Cynthia Mosley. If the statement is trying to say that she was one of the earliest Conservative MPs, then a) the wording does not make this clear, and b) this is still a debatable use of "earliest" given that Astor was elected as a Conservative in 1919 and following that 3 other Conservative women had served in Parliament in the 1920s, notably the Duchess of Atholl who had been elected in 1923 and had held junior ministerial office. Also Copeland was one of a group of 13 Conservative women in parliament after the 1931 election. My instinct is to remove the "one of the earliest women to join Parliament" claim, but would like to seek other views.Dunarc (talk) 19:35, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
