Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

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?!

I'll take this one since I enjoyed the Cow Tower article so much...will add comments over the weekend. Zawed (talk) 08:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments as follows:

16th century

I wonder if some context for Francis Flemming (and possibly John Killigrew and William Tyrell) is needed. Was Flemming a military engineer?

17th century

Interregnum, Royalists and Robert Blake not linked in this section. All are linked in the lead.
"Tresco became a base for Royalist privateers and Parliament became concerned that the Dutch": repeated use of "became".

18th-21st centuries

link Duchy of Cornwall, Duke of Marlborough

Other stuff

No duplicate links.
Image tags look good.
No dab links.
External links work OK.

Pretty good work. Minor quibbles only. Zawed (talk) 02:46, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Zawed! I'll make the changes on Thursday night. Hchc2009 (talk) 17:11, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should be all done. I couldn't find any more on Tyrell, unfortunately. Thanks for the review! Hchc2009 (talk) 16:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shame about Tyrell, but I think the context is better now for Flemming and Killigrew. Looks good, so am passing as GA. A pleasure to review. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 21:56, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
