If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project member page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.CornwallWikipedia:WikiProject CornwallTemplate:WikiProject CornwallCornwall-related articles
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 created a new section, Ben Ainslie Racing. This seems to be both a clear shift in his career, and will involve a combination of both business and sail racing in the run-up to the next America's Cup. At some point in time it might make a new article, but at present it seems the best way of containing within an article which requires both better references and better sectioning all the relevant information. Secondly, much as though Ben Ainslie Racing's current stated purpose is the next America's Cup, there is probably a time line beyond that, and other projects. So hence, much as though it could be broken out at some time into its own article - possibly when a headline sponsor is announced for the America's Cup - I suggest that for present let it develop and brew where it is.

Wiki custom and practice?
I've noticed on other wiki pages where a word (e.g. "London") might have a separate entry, the custom is to hyperlink to that page on only the first mention of the word. I notice here, especially in the competitions entered section, several of the referenced events, are repeatedly hyperlinked to the same landing page. Just my thoughts, but I think I understand the reason for only hyperlinking once, as it saves you referencing the same landing page multiple times.
However, I haven't checked every apparently duplicated link, which raises the possibility that another seemingly apparent link, might actually be to a different page from the previous highlighted link. Therefore can the OP review the apparently duplicated links and revert them to standard text where they are duplicated please.
