Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

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?!

De-Merger Needed

The merger is nonsense and completely misrepresents the history of what is now the A&P Group.

In an A&P Group context the whole of the corporate history is either wrong or irrelevant (ie relates to Austin & Pickersgill). Although it says little in detail on A&P Group's website about it's history, what it does say - "Originally founded as a centre of expertise in shipyard design and construction in 1971" - is a good starting point. The closest that Austin & Pickersgill ever was to what is now A&P Group was that they owned 50% when it was formed in 1971 as A&P-Appledore International. Both companies merit pages of their own.

There is no point in rewriting the current page - indeed, it is hardly feasible. A demerger is essential. If agreed, I am happy to attempt to disentangle and fill out the two corporate history sections (the rest splits fairly neatly as currently edited and needs little further tweaking).

Reactions please! Davidships (talk) 16:34, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have stripped out the irrelevant material form this page and added the right company history. Later today I will add the relevant Austin & Pickersgill material into that article, from whence it was mostly removed when the two articles were erroneously merged.
