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 article says "Vugs are small to medium-sized cavities."
Does a 1mm cavity in a rock qualify as a "vug?"
What about a 1 meter cavity?
What are the minimum to maximum size ranges?
What are the typical size ranges?
If a cavity is smaller than the minimum for a vug then does it have a name?
If a cavity is larger than the maximum for a vug then does it have a name?
Does the cavity need to be lined with crystals and/or minerals of a different type as the main rock to qualify as a vug?
What if it's apparent there was a cavity at one time but it's now solid crystals? For example, sometimes I'll see a rock that has a pocket of crystals but there no remaining cavity. Is that still a "vug?" Marc Kupper (talk) (contribs)17:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
A couple more...
If a vug with crystals forms and later gets filled with debris (sand or other material working it's way into the cavity) then it is still a vug?

In view of the size discussion below (above), I would propose to merge article "vug" with "geode" as "vug" seems to be a species (by size or formation history) of the genus "geode" and both articles are rather meagre. Could a geologist cross-check this? Also, make sure that distinctions (or links to the article pages) between "druse", "vug" and "geode" are in. 145.64.134.242 (talk) 09:21, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

‘Vug’ is used as a word in the musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, where it is misspelled by contestant Logan Schwartzandgrubinierre as “vugghe”.
