This article is within the scope of WikiProject Cornwall, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of Cornwall and all things Cornish. 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?!

Edward and his contemporaries definitely spelled his name Lhuyd. I have a copy of Pryce's 1790 Archæologia Cornu-Britannica here and that spelling is all through it. Evertype 17:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Edward and his contemporaries definitely spelled his name Luid / Luid. far more often and were inconsistent as to anything else.
The article is almost certainly at the wrong place now. The guy himself and Oxford even now more often spell his name Lhwyd. Lhuyd seems to have been used for just one book, although cursory scholars like the editor above and the academics checking Wikipedia below may have made Lhuyd more common in recent work. — LlywelynII 22:46, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Kindly only restore these to the article (a) once they're being used to source statements within the article or (b) once there's some further context beyond "this is what Google Scholar spits out when this name is searched... only in Wiki formatting". Otherwise it's worse than useless: it creates the mistaken appearance of a well-sourced article when none of these are actually being used by the editors. — LlywelynII 13:17, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
