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?!

Duchy of Cornwall appointment

I note that in 1834 the appointment was made by the King in Council, possibly this was just because there was no Heir Apparent. David Underdown (talk) 09:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would imagine so, I think I read that the Duchy was vacant for long periods of time and the Monarchy benefitted from its revenues during these periods. Presumably the appointment of Sheriffs also went to the Monarch.Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 09:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be clarified in the lead section, or is it not worth it? David Underdown (talk) 12:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds worth it to me, if you can get a reliable reference. Looks like the articles on the Duchy are contentious but do not cover this matter. The Duchy of Cornwall article states "The eldest son of the reigning monarch automatically becomes Duke of Cornwall upon the accession to the throne of his royal parent" without a citation. Thanks for your interest. Have you thought of joining the Cornwall Wikiproject? Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 00:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A sinlge reference might be tricky, using the Gazette it might be posible to show that wehn there is no Heir Apparent, the appointment has always been made by the crown. As to the WikiProject, I ahve no particular Cornish connection, I only ened up on this page as I was fixing up references to the London Gazette which had got broken by their re-launched website. I suspect that it shoudl be possible to reference every High Sheriff from the start of the Gazette in the 1660s to a relevant issue. David Underdown (talk) 08:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Edgcumbe

The blue link on here to Richard Edgcumbe (politician) goes to another politician of this name. I haven't changed it as I wasn't sure what to change it to. This is partly because he may also be the person behind these incoming links to RE (politician):

Grampound (UK Parliament constituency) 1593,
Bossiney (UK Parliament constituency) 1628 to 1629
Liskeard (UK Parliament constituency) 1586 to 1587.
Newport (Cornwall) (UK Parliament constituency)

If he is, then if someone has a source, could they please create a stub? If he probably isn't, this page should probably be changed to give a redlink to Richard Edgcumbe (High Sheriff of Cornwall). Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 07:15, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
