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?!

Dates?

While it seems that Geevor Tin Mine Ltd was formed in 1911, the article Mining in Cornwall and Devon states that the mine itself opened in 1780. Which is correct? --HighKing (talk) 21:16, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No reason why they shouldn't both be correct. The company of 1911 took over the business of North Levant and Geevor Ltd. Companies may come and go, but the mine itself went on. DuncanHill (talk) 21:33, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, but the lede is misleading as it reads as if the mine was only operational from 1911. --HighKing (talk) 15:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved, as per WP:CornwallGuideline. Thank you. --HighKing (talk) 12:23, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I would gently suggest that involving local Wikiprojects when problems like this occur in the future would be constructive. DuncanHill (talk) 12:29, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
