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?!

Commissioner of/for Prizes?

Were there multiple commissioners at any one time? See eg Emanuel Scrope Howe. Le Deluge (talk) 18:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

Alexander Pendarves (1662-1726) is described as the son of Bridget, whose father was "Sir Alexander Carew, 8th Baronet". According to the page that this links to, Sir Alexander lived from 1715 until 1799. Unless I'm missing something, this makes it quite impossible for him to be AP's grandfather. Either this page or the linked-to page must be wrong.

Also, should Sir Alexander be described better as "8th Baronet [something]" or "[of something]" to establish of which baronetcy he is the 8th? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.244.246.25 (talk) 07:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correction was made earlier by someone else; should have been Sir Alexander Carew, 2nd Baronet. I added the location clarifier of "Antony", along with the ref. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
