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?!

This is not a category, it masquerades as one. The article4 is Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Cornwall. If yiou want cats go for it but this is not it, SqueakBox 12:49, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

If you read the notice on Wikipedia:Wikipedians you will see that there is an ongoing project to move the system of user categorization to Categories instead of Lists (as is the system in use by almost all other Wikipedias other than the English one). How is this not a Category? Currently there is an enormous tangle of duplicate Cat's for various regions and different classifications of users, but it is slowly being worked out. If you would like to offer some assistance, it would be much appreciated! See Wikipedia:Wikipedians, Category:Wikipedians and Category:Wikipedians by location

It was made into a category after I left the message here. Nice, quick response, SqueakBox 19:34, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be Wikipedians in or from Cornwall as people who have left can still feel Cornish, a Bucks ex pat, SqueakBox 04:31, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

aye, perhaps it should, however the naming convention has pretty much been adopted, though I think everyone accepts that being a member of one of these categories doesn't imply you are in the specified area, but that you have some sort of connection to it. for example, I will add myself to Category:Wikipedians in Florida because when I first started using Wikipedia (as Youthinayzhuh, once upon a time) I lived in Florida. In a similar sense, folks from Louisiana might list themselves in Category:Wikipedians in Acadia although Acadia is in Canada, because it has ties to cajun culture. I think that it says (or should, if not) on each of these cats in the description that it is 'Wikipedians from or associated with (blah)'. Some of the cats (ones that already existed - there are only a few) have better naming convention (such as Category:Canadian Wikipedians. The fact is that there are alread so many 'Wikipedians in (area)' that it would be a major headache to go about renaming them all. --thereverendeg 04:49, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
