High

This article has been rated as High-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?!

Bias[edit]

The last paragraph sounds like it is taken directly from an advertising pamphlet for the campus. I live in Cornwall, I know the area is nice, but perhaps a bit TOO positive here? I would rewrite and perhaps expand this article myself, but am busy with projects in real life. Harrias 23:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some rephrasing so we can take down the NPOV tag. Quartier Latin1968

Merge[edit]

In Summer 2013 Exeter Uni and Falmouth Uni agreed to rename "Tremough" to "Penryn Campus" - see this, for example. It appears that Exeter Uni is also now referring to its University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus by the same new name - as here, for instance. I therefore propose that article is merged into this one. —SMALL JIM 14:35, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Smalljim - I'm obviously assuming you forgot about this - Not sure if you still feel the same way so If you wanna Merge I have no objections :), Cheers. –Davey2010^Talk 21:58, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, suggesting it and actually doing it are two different things... But I'll have a look at it in a while. —SMALL JIM 13:03, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's been no comments/!votes for three years so personally I'd say no one's all that bothered either way.... –Davey2010^Talk 14:42, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be done, but it looks as if doing it properly would require quite a lot of rewriting and research, which I don't want to get involved in at present. So it'll go on the back burner – unless anyone else wants to do it. Thanks for reminding me though! —SMALL JIM 10:53, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this is a good merge. Agree Penryn Campus is the right name. I am a new editor and not that confident about doing the merge but can have a go when I have some time. Can someone please keep an eye on it and possibly tidy it up. J150vsc (talk) 11:56, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@J150vsc: Reading your user page, I'd say this would be excellent practice :) It would probably be best to do the drafting in your user space. Let me know if you need any help. —SMALL JIM 13:43, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Haha I chanced upon this randomly today. Anyone wants to have a go? :) Ping @Smalljim, Davey2010, and J150vsc: --Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised this wasn't merged a year ago, I would have no idea where to even begin with this sorry Lemongirl942, I suppose I could just merge the entire thing and then let someone else deal with it all lol, –Davey2010^Talk 16:43, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that was the third prompt. It must be time to act! I've had a look at the articles – both are pretty awful, but I think a merge now, after three years, wouldn't be too difficult. Most of the content of the Cornwall Campus article is about its departments and is unreferenced and would be out of date now, so scrapping/severely pruning it will be no great loss. I'll rewrite this article first and then convert the other into a redirect. —SMALL JIM 16:08, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. It's difficult to find any encyclopaedic detail in university literature these days: it's all about "educational excellence", "cutting-edge technology", "state-of-the-art facilities" and, of course, "vibrant communities". —SMALL JIM 19:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
