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?!

Having created the article for the River Strat, the two quoted (local i.e Cornish/West Country) references distingush between a northern Strat and a southern tributary Neet but modern Ordnance Survey maps have the northern river as 'Neet or Strat' and leave the southern tributary un-named - if anyone with good local knowledge knows more about this confusion and ideally is able to supply references, then please add further material as may be appropriate! cheers Geopersona (talk) 11:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, yes. And when you go to the Geograph website from whence those images came and bring up the small map window which has the latest OS mapping in you find the river through Stratton named unambiguously as 'River Strat' on the 25K mapping zoom level and the southern tributary unambiguously as the 'River Neet' on the next layer down. It's clearly a catchment with a back-story to tell! cheers Geopersona (talk) 16:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
