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 edited the diagram and left a comment "Formatting to match other local line diagrams". Kevin Steinhardt (talk·contribs) reverted this edit – taking out some ammendments as well as the formatting – with the comment: "Formatting to match major route diagram templates."
This is actually untrue. Many main lines use similar formatting, including Cornish Main Line, Reading to Plymouth Line, West of England Main Line, and other routes serving the south and west. While there are a few routes that do not follow the style, these seem to be those that only list stations in their diagram, and have not been expanded to include other infrastructure; there is even an example on the WP:TRAIL page that governs the use of these diagrams.
In my opinion, the diagrams that have been extended to include infrastrucure need to have distinctive and consistent formatting to help identify the different items shown. Geof Sheppard (talk) 13:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have been working on the Scottish lines, aas part of WP:TIS - historic and current over the past two years (dabbling a little in the West Country diagrams). The open Scottish Routes with the exception of the Paisley Canal Line are relatively simple. However the Historic Lines contain more detail, this includes the Paisley Canal line as at the time is was felt at the time that one article could cover both current and historical. The relative articles are being cross referenced against each other so that features can be picked up. There is still some way to go on the historical articles, however the Highland Railway constituents have been completed.
I would suggest that the St Ives Bay Line probably fits into the Paisley Canal Line format, however I would agree with Geof Sheppard that consistency is required. --Stewart(talk) 13:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
