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?!

"== Robert of Mortain ==The timeline has a statement that he was a Celtic speaking Breton: where does this idea come from as nothing in his own article suggests he would have needed to speak Celtic as well as Norman-French. His vassals would have been in contact with the Bretons.----Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)----Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:01, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

In this paragraph the second sentence begins "He was granted the rape of Pevensey...". This sounds like an anachronistic modern opinion, and would apply equally to most ALL the lands granted to William's Norman followers after the conquest, from our modern viewpoint. What he was granted was the castle of Pevensey, as the Pevensey article clearly states. Whether this was vandalism or not, it violates the NPOV, so I have changed the word to 'castle'. ----StevoDog21 (talk) 21:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Rape is a real term, involving a subdivision of land in the southeast of England. It might apply equally to all Will's followers who were granted land in Sussex, but not necessarily those given it in, for example, Suffolk. The castle may be what Robert got, but technically he was given the rape ~ with no sexual connotations whatever, so not vandalism. Cheers, LindsayHi04:33, 30 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
