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?!

In the article it states "The earliest reference to Guldize was in 1602 by Richard Carew in his Survey of Cornwall.[3]" The citation contains no page number, and using digitised copies of Carew's Survey of Cornwall available via archive.org and Google Books I can't find any reference to the word Guldize at all. I have found an email on RootsWeb that points out that Jenkin (himself often guilty of omitting/confusing references!) remarks that:
Richard Carew in 1602, in his "Survey of Cornwall", although the Cornish language was still widely spoken, fails to use the Cornish term, Gol Deis or Feast of Ricks even though that term or variants of it were still in use in the 20s and 30s eg Gooldize, Goolandize and Dicklydize.
