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?!

Queen Camilla is a Queen Consort. Prince Phillip, who used to be HM Queen Elizabeth’s husband, did not get a title of King Phillip. Therefore Camilla should be called Queen Consort not just Queen itself. Clairehong228 (talk) 07:41, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, "Queen Consort" isn't a title. Queen is the title. Consort tells us what type of Queen she is. Queen Elizabeth II was Queen because she was the regnant. Camilla is the Queen because she is a consort. In either cases, the latter is not the title. Secondly, Phillip did not get the title of "King Philip" because there is no such thing as a King Consort therefore he was titled as Prince. 81.140.89.191 (talk) 13:41, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Queen Consort might not be a title and the page name will remain the same as it is now. But wasn't this page titled "Queen Consort Camilla" from September 2022 when Elizabeth II passed away till the coronation in May last year. Why so? Just asking for clarity.

I also hope that Wikipedia upholds this standard. I think that when her father-in-law passes away, the Princess of Wales' page should be titled "Catherine, Queen Consort" up until the time of her coronation (if there is a coronation, it's likely, but only time will tell). Wikipedia often has trouble being consistent, I hope they are with things like this. StrawWord298944 (talk) 23:40, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's likely that Catherine will not be styled Queen Consort at the time of her husband's accession. Queens Consort are only distinguished as such when there is a transition from a Queen Regnant to a King Regnant - thus Victoria to Edward VII, and Elizabeth II to Charles III. Queens Mary and Elizabeth were styled simply as 'Queen' from the point of accession.
Note, of course, that when the King dies, Queen Camilla will immediately take the title of Queen Dowager and be styled as Her Majesty Queen Camilla, rather than Her Majesty the Queen. Chrisxo (talk) 21:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We use the titles that Buckingham Palace used. Camilla's title was Queen Consort until her coronation, when it became Queen. All reliable sources have followed this usage. If you can point to legislation, orders in council or letters patent that explain why this is wrong, then please provide them. Otherwise, your reasoning is just original research and invalid.
Small correction — the title Princess Royal was used prior to the Hanoverians, with King Charles I's wife starting the tradition. She came from France, where the eldest daughter was known as the Madame Royale. This was adapted to the modern term "Princess Royal." Meaning there were generally one prince and two princesses in England prior to the Hanoverians: the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the Princess Royal, all of which still are titles held by living people today.

Her official title is Her Majesty The Queen. She is, of course, the consort of the king and is therefore a queen consort; but all in all, she is The Queen. 71.184.82.123 (talk) 04:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is edited by users from around the globe and is read by an international audience. There is no rule banning people from editing pages based on their nationality and place of origin. As long as one has access to reliable sources and information they can edit any topic of interest. So yeah, the content on a given page could be anyone's business.

While she is the queen consort, the King has chosen since her investiture to call her Queen Camilla. Whether he is right or not, there is a long tradition of calling the queen consort Queen.TFD (talk) 18:39, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Imagine harbouring such a personal vendetta against someone you outright deny factual evidence. Queen consort is not a title and is a role. Queen is the title. 78.144.84.164 (talk) 12:44, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
