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?!
3 things. First, if she was launched as Wellesley, the page should be Wellesley, N Cornwall, w a note she was renamed. 2d, I've read she was sunk at quayside in 1941, N 1940; 3d, as a matter of trivia, that makes her the last wooden ship of the line sunk by enemy action.
As to dating, I've seen discrepencies of a yr that way in film releases, too; somebody needs to check. This isn't a problem unique to Wikipedia; there seems to be a problem dating events at times, especially movie releases. Grun's Timetables of History is notorious for it; all his dates seem to be either a yr early or a yr late, & it's often impossible to know which. Movie dates are even worse (& is it yr of release, yr filming ended, copywright yr, or what, that actually gets mentioned?); absent the exact date, the year is a toss.

The ship was named Cornwall at launch, later renamed to Wellesley - the last paragraph of the article refers to a different ship, and should be removed to that article once it has been created. Martocticvs21:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
