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?!

Under British company law, the mere resemblance of part of the names of two companies carries no indication that there is any connection between the two. It's like Apple Incorporated has no connection with Apple Corps, even though there is plenty of similarity in their names.

Some of them may be "paper" companies, a company that is registered but has no intent of actually transacting any business. I can think of two situations for that: first, they may have been registered speculatively, in the hope that somebody may one day pay big money to gain that name - a bit like domain name squatting. Second, it takes time to register a new company, and there are agencies who register several "paper" companies so that if somebody needs to start a new company quickly, they go to one of these agencies and buy one ready-made (so to speak) saving a lot of time and effort. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:10, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
