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?!

Could the name of the discover of the Welcome Nugget be corrected please. It is Richard Jeffery NOT Richard Jeffrey. His name is spelt incorrectly on the memorial plaque at Ballarat and Sovereign Hill. The family have tried constantly to have this error remedied. Richard Jeffery was my great great grandfather.

DoneNo problem. I'll leave a note for future editors too. Egg Centri c 01:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this protected?[edit]

@Casliber: As far as I can see, there is almost no vandalism, and 1 incident prompted permanent protection. Other articles on Wikipedia are not treated this way. This article should not be protected, or all articles on Wikipedia should be protected, considering the activity level and vandalism which occurred on this page. There is only one entry in the logs for this page, ever [1]. Showing no history of vandalism protection events that would prompt an increasing level and time of protection.

Please remove protection. It is was never necessary. -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 20:25, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was stealthy vandalism that was unreverted for an extended period. I'll unprotect and we'll see how we go. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
