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?!

Antiquary has edited this article and the Kenstec article to state that Asser was Bishop of Cornwall from 888/893 to 909. This is based on a reliable source, Simon Keynes's list of bishops in the Handbook of British Chronology, 1996, p. 214. However, it is not stated in other reliable sources. Patrick Wormald in his 2004 ODNB article about Asser does not mention Cornwall. Thomas Charles-Edwards in his Wales and the Britons, 2013, p. 431, discussing the Cornish church in this period, says that Kenstec professed obedience to Canterbury between 833 and 870, and Alfred gave Asser the church of Exeter with its territory in Devon and Cornwall, but not that he was bishop of Cornwall. Keynes himself on Asser in the Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia, 2014, p. 51, does not state that Asser was bishop of Cornwall. Keynes only says that he was given the monastery of Exeter and that he may have been suffragan bishop of Devon and Cornwall before he became bishop of Sherborne. Keynes also lists Asser in the Handbook as bishop of Sherborne from the 890s to 909. I am not aware of any other case of a bishop being described as of an area which was part of his see and I think that stating that Asser was Bishop of Cornwall based on one source even though it is not supported elsewhere - including by Keynes - is WP:UNDUE.
