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?!

The Suffragan Bishops Act 1534 includes Sayncte Germayns in Cornewell as one of the towns to have a Suffragan Bishop. This article and Bishop of St Germans only mention one from 1905 to 1918 before the current series starting in 1974. Surely it didn't take 370 years to get around to appointing the first one. A quick search round the web turns up a reference to Wharton's List of Suffragan Bishops from the 18th-century but not the text itself. Has anyone got access to this or another source for earlier Bishops or, indeed, confirmation that there weren't any? --Cavrdg (talk) 17:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
It would seem that it did! The list of sixteenth century suffragans in the Handbook of British Chronology doesn't list St Germans (or many of the others in the Act), the practice of appointing of Suffragans then seems to have fallen into abeyance until the modern practice was revived in 1870 according to Cripps' Law Relating to Church and Clergy.
