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 article has the tag ”English monarch”. However, during this person’s life Cornwall was not yet incorporated into England. Cornish people were culturally Celtic and at war with their Anglo-Saxon neighbours in Wessex.
So, isn’t this tag an anachronism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.242.193.248 (talk) 15:08, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"He was probably an under-king, paying tribute to the West Saxons"
This usage implies to "pay tribute" did at one time have a different meaning to today's conventional usage of complimenting or eulogising somebody. The expression would therefore benefit from a side reference to what meaning is intended in this case. Does this mean the word "tribute" by itself has an earlier lost meaning?

I have checked three dictionaries and they all define tribute in the sense used here as one of their definitions. E.g. Merriam-Webster "a payment by one ruler or nation to another in acknowledgment of submission or as the price of protection". Dudley Miles (talk) 20:38, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
