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?!

Requested move 15 January 2019 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Editors did not find that capitalized 'The' is routinely used in running text when referring to the Brisons, as required by the guideline at WP:THE. In some cases the word 'the' is completely omitted. EdJohnston (talk) 18:37, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Brisons → The Brisons – Per WP:THE, "The" in this case is part of the name unlike the Sun for example it is The Brisons on OS. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:45, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support. Exactly like The Sun. 62.165.227.102 (talk) 06:28, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Comment. The four "list of shipwreck" articles that link to here all use "the Brisons". One, List of shipwrecks of Cornwall (19th century), uses that four times, but The Brisons once. Is it a relatively recent change that "The" is part of the OS name? It's no big deal, but there seems some variability in RS over whether "the" is part of the name. The National Trust calls them "Brisons Rocks" and "the Brisons Rocks", for example. 62.165.227.102 (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. WP:THE says that we should only include the definite article if the word "The" is routinely capitalised in running text. The Sun certainly fits that description, but I don't think The Brisons does. See for example [1][2][3][4][5] — Amakuru (talk) 14:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
