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?!

Barbara Hosking — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:E276:3D00:AC71:D011:FFD5:5748 (talk) 16:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have amended the details re Westcountry Television according to the Who's Who entry cited in the article. However, the quote about the childhood being "miserable" is taken directly from the New Stateman article (cited appropriately), which quotes Barbara Hosking saying “We did have a miserable childhood” see here. I cannot make up a quote. —Noswall59 (talk) 20:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]
I recently reverted this edit since I was unable to verify the contents of the edit as I don't have a copy of the actual memoir. If someone does have a copy and can confirm that this indeed was the content added, then please feel free to undo my edit and return the added text. Thanks!

I have the book and she mentions being heterosexual in Africa but lesbian for the rest of her life. So probably the long term relationship is there as well.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 13:14, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
