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?!

Rewrite

Last time I looked at this page it seemed to be a good article, but it's been chopped and changed a lot and no longer made much sense to me. I know the subject, as I worked on the programme! (Script Editor, series 4, 5, special) So - I hope this doesn't offend anyone - I've done a total rewrite. The only thing I'm not sure about is Lane's rank, but I believe she was a DI throughout. She 'acted up' during Wycliffe's absence and was offered a staff post, but I don't recall her rank changing.

Pronunciation of the name

"pronounced "Wick-lif" not the more common "Why-cliff", according to the author".

Who says "Why-cliff" is more common? Maybe among Caribbean-American rap artistes and would-be politicians (when it's spelt Wyclef anyway), but the name has always been pronounced "Wick-liff" as far as I know - certainly this is the pronunciation invariably used for the 14th century English theologian John Wycliffe (and endorsed by Wikipedia in the article on him).

In any case, this is a TV series so surely the most pertinent fact is how it's pronounced in the series? Maybe "The name is pronounced 'Wick-liff, as confirmed by the author". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haydn01 (talk • contribs) 12:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Length of Christmas special

Danish channel DR2 has during late November and December re-broadcasted the entire series, two episodes daily. On Christmas evening the last episode will be followed by "Hamish Macbeth". However It seems that the length of the Chistmas Special isn't 90 min., but 75 min. Boeing720 (talk) 18:51, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "length" given here is the scheduled length when originally broadcast, i.e. including commercials. Comparing with the DVD times, the scheduled length is consistently about 20% longer, so 75 min without commercials is what you'd expect for a "length" of 90 min.Especially Lime (talk) 14:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How can you libel a place?

The article currently contains this comment: "Many of the smaller places mentioned are fictional, perhaps to avoid possible actions for libel." Surely you cannot libel a place, only a person? I think the second half of that statement should be chopped? Grievous Angel (talk) 12:08, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ITV

At the time ITV was a network of local channels covering the whole of the UK rather than a single channel - at the start of the article it does say ITV network but in the list of episodes section it just says ITV so I edited it so each time it says ITV it now says ITV network 1701Will (talk) 19:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
