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 carries, after the listing of References, a bulleted note concerning Sir Henry Billingsley of Siston or Syston, Gloucestershire (son and heir of Sir Henry Billingsley, Lord Mayor of London). The father married Katherine Killigrew, daughter of John Killigrew (d 1584), as his third wife; the son married, as his second wife c. 1602, one Mary Killigrew, to whom he was still married at the time of his death c. 1628. The appended note in this article contains a number of confusions between different Henry Billingsleys, one of whom married Abigail, and another who was active during the English Civil War, several years after Sir Henry (junior) died. Neither of the latter was Sir Henry (1564-1628), son of the mayor, and the narrative of the man who habitually deserted his wives is the fiction of muddled identifications. As this bulleted note has no verified relationship to the subject of this article, and is at best very confused and misleading, I am about to delete it.
