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.

I've again reverted Lemon Lander's nationality back to Cornish. Just because Cornwall is now within England does not automatically mean that every historical Cornish figure can be rebranded English - nationality is far more complicated that the location in which a person was born and more about a persons identity (The Duke of Wellington was born in Dublin, but is on record as regarding himself as English). Cornwall is not simple just another county and even today Cornish is a government recognised minority nationality within the UK, so it is perfectly reasonable to describe Lemon Lander as Cornish. It is also reasonable to change this to British, which would provide more information, but I feel that, especially considering the nature of these persistent anonomous single use edits, that this relabelling as English is an effort to undermine the Cornish nationality, rather than clarification and thus pov (Oh and by the way, rotating your IP address every time you make one of these pov motivated edits is not fooling anyone into thinking that this is a group of many editors with the same opinions - anyone with an ounce of computer knowledge can trace these edits back to the same server box line). If a reference can be found where Lemon Lander refers to himself as English rather than British or Cornish then I would be happy to change it, but I somehow doubt that he ever thought of himself that way.
