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?!

St Sen(n)an

The link for St Sennen points to the Persian(?) Abdon and Sennen. Is the Cornish connection not more likely to be with Senan of Laraghbrine or Senán mac Geirrcinn? --Frans Fowler (talk) 03:27, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A note by Donald Attwater in Doble, G. H. (1960) The Saints of Cornwall; part 1. Truro: Dean and Chapter; p. 145 points out that the life of St Senan by Doble is not being reprinted since the St Senan of Scattery Island appears to have no connection with the Cornish Sennen. In 1327 and 1430 the patron of Sennen is described as a female saint Senana. Cornish Saints Series no. 15 (1928) examined the Irish saint and included a paraphrase of the 2nd life of him in the Acta Sanctorum; March.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 06:44, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recent undiscussed move

I have reverted the recent undiscussed move to List of Cornish Catholic saints and beatified people. I am not convinced that all the Cornish saints are called saints by the Roman Catholic church, nor am I convinced that those who are are exclusively RC and not also recognised by other churches.
