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?!

Range?

The body of the page says that "The current lantern, which has a range of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi)..." but the sidebar says "Range: 15 nmi (28 km; 17 mi)". Anyone know which (if either!) is correct? Ministry (talk) 20:20, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted, the answer (of course) is that both are correct, 15 nmi for the white and 11 nmi for the red. Interestingly Trinity House only shows the white range on its website, the NGA lists both.^[1] I will amend the article in due course to reflect this ...Jokulhlaup (talk) 09:30, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
