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?!

Place name elements

should place name elements really be included? Ones that were actually used in the dialect with their meaning, like Carn - a pile of rocks, sure, but most were not that I'm aware of. Bodrugan (talk) 00:24, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps they are out of place here; no objection to their removal.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:34, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wisht as a winnard

To what does this Cornish phrase refer? A Redwing as this article suggests, or the whinchat bird, See the BBC website referenced below, or a Peregrine Falcon, as in Birds of Cornwall the North Cornwall paragraph. I suspect it's the whinchat.^[1]BeckenhamBear (talk) 09:00, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A redwing, have added a citation, see also my answer to your question on Talk:Birds of Cornwall. DuncanHill (talk) 15:36, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recent additions

Some of the additions made recently look more like general English colloquialisms than specially current in Cornwall.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:36, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
