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?!

Ding Dong mine[edit]

Appears to be something worthy of an article to itself. There is a windmill also.----Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 04:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

James Payne legend[edit]

It seems unlikely that there would be an Anglican Press in Plymouth in 1796 and 18th century books would rarely use archaic spellings like "weste": can any other reference be provided for the same legend? If it has never been published since 1796 it perhaps does not need to be in Wikipedia.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:19, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This legend is well known in the area, and has been passed down by word of mouth through the generations, for sure with time it has proberbly changed, but it is what it says... a legend. Many local guide/ story /tourist books current/old and ancient feature this legend, I have tried to keep only the most common denominaters from all of them in this account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.184.79 (talk) 22:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know this supposed legend is not mentioned in Hunt, Bottrell or Margaret Courtney, the three main sources for West Cornwall folklore. Boase and Courtney's Bibliotecha Cornubiensis (VolII) of 1878 does not mention either the book or the writer. So I reckon that somewhere along the line someone is spoofing. If its in local tradition and guide books let's see the report of the field work or see the documents that mention the tale or the book. Crowdercref (talk) 22:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken it out, the "source" appears not to exist. Looks like schoolkids baiting their mates. DuncanHill (talk) 23:08, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Start class?[edit]

This article looks good enough to be C-class. What needs to be done to upgrade this article? PA? —Best known for IP (85.255.233.81 (talk)) 18:05, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I want to continue to improve the article, but I fear my IP has changed. I may make an account to keep track of my contributions. This article looks low-traffic, I hope this comment will be seen. —Best known for IP (85.255.233.81 (talk)) 08:20, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can assess the article and change the class itself or ask another experienced editor to do so. In my opinion, the article doesn’t meet C-class guidelines - there aren’t an awful lot of sources nor is there much information.

John Thomas[edit]

See this - there is no evidence he was a pirate or smuggler, and the "eyebrows" thing seems to have been something someone made up one day. DuncanHill (talk) 00:03, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
