Suggested article edit guidelines: |
- Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here. This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussionbefore any major changes to the layout yourself.
- Be bold - if you know something about Penwith then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid is your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
- At the the Penwith Wikiproject we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish geography entries can sometimes be a contentious topic. 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.
- These are geography pages, and are not platforms for political discussion. if you want to talk about Cornish politics there are other pages who would value your expertise and contributions (Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish self-government movement).
- Most of all have fun editing - thats the reason we all do this right?!

[edit] Ringing of the bells
I've recently move a lot of material about the Church to the spin off article The Church of St. Buryan as i felt it was starting to take over this page (there is more than enough info for its own page plus I still have more to put in!). I've tried to summarise the main church article here by condensing what I've moved to just key points. Anyway, in answer to your question I think that they were rung again properly in 1994, but I thought that would be better put in the main article rather than the summary. What do you think about a push for feature quality (obviously needs a lot of work, but i think it could be done?)Mammal4 20:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] StBuryan school
Is the school featured in the film straw dogs? tali 29/09/06
- No - Its mostly just shots of the square and church. The large cornerhouse at the juntion of Rectory road and Penzance road in the square features quite heavily as the local pub, although I think most of the internal shots are from another building. Mammal4 15:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
