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?!

3rd largest natural harbour? Where does this idea come from? By what criteria?
Surely even in the British Isles, Scapa Flow, or Spithead, or the Nore, are larger; a quick look at a map shows that.
As for worldwide, loads of places spring to mind that are bigger;
What about Oslo fjord? San Fransisco Bay? Sydney harbour? Tokyo bay?
What about Freetown, whose bay is also, apparently, the 3rd largest natural harbour in the world? You might like to compare
falmouth with
freetown on this one... Swanny18 (talk) 16:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've moved this:
"Falmouth Harbour, including the Carrick Roads, is reputed to be the third largest natural harbour in the world
[1]"
Even though it has a reputable source, it’s patently untrue.
It needs amending, but “it is claimed that Carrick Roads is the third largest natural harbour in the world, though this is patently untrue...” seems a bit harsh. Does anyone have any ideas? Swanny18 (talk) 12:55, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
