This article has been rated as Top-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?!

Pre-Galfridian traditions

There is no datation to any of the three mentioned traditions. Anyone can check it on the citated book, or any other source? It's pointless to say there was a tradition before Monmouth if we don't know when. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.43.201.216 (talk) 03:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Este articulo podría ser mejor.

En la versión en Español (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rey_Arturo) tiene bastante más información. Podrían traducir fragmentos faltantes desde la versión desde es.Wikipedia para que quede mejor. Digo, ahí hay un árbol genealógico que se podría traducir y expandir con los bastos conocimientos de en.Wikipedia.

Arthur

After Arthur was fatally wounded at camlann how long after his was taken to Glastonbury Abbey did he die, 89.243.51.90 (talk) 13:48, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He couldn't have been taken to Glastonbury Abbey after his death as the Abbey didn't exist during the time he is alleged to have lived. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Historicity" section needs to be copyedited, and better yet just rewritten

The flow is of reading it just awful as it's seemingly randomly divided into many very short paragraphs. There are also errors like the capitalized "extreme". 5.173.74.94 (talk) 12:24, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Still nothing was done,not even "Extreme" was corrected. If you don't want to work on it, open it for the public to edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.42.36 (talk) 09:06, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Garrick - actor or painter?

A painting displayed in the "Geoffrey of Monmouth" section of this article, titled "The Death of King Arthur," is dated 1862, but the John Garrick hyperlinked in the description of the painting appears to be an English film actor who was born in 1902. Is this an error? 71.168.101.197 (talk) 14:37, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. The source of the painting is unclear, so I have deleted. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did a bit of research, and it might be the person who uploaded that file to Wikimedia Commons did so with a typo. I suspect artist's name actually could be John Mulcaster Carrick. This painting is currently displayed on the John Mulcaster Carrick Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mulcaster_Carrick) and is also uploaded with different authorship on the commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Death-Arthur-Carrick.jpg). John Mulcaster Carrick is at least listed in ULAN with appropriate dates to be attributed to the painting (http://vocab.getty.edu/page/ulan/500006272). Not sure if that impacts anything at this point, thought I’d share just in case. Annrose90 (talk) 13:04, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think it shows I was right to delete! Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FA criteria

Overall the article looks in decent shape but what's with the further reading section? Ideally if these works are sufficiently important /contain additional info that belongs in the article they would be cited. (t · c) buidhe 05:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
