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?!

I have removed the 'proposal for deletion' , as the reasons stated were 'non-notable field'.

On the contrary, this nature reserve is unique in Cornwall, and a very rare UK example of an unploughed meadow. For this reason, it makes this meadow home to some of the rarest orchids in the UK. Tinminer (talk) 11:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-written the following paragraph

"This meadow is an SSSI and contains some rare plant species. It is a (unique in Cornwall) example of unimproved herb-rich pasture land which survived being ploughed. This was because it had a military camp on it during World War II."

To include better grammar and to make better sense. It now reads:

"Sylvia's Meadow (SSSI)is an example of unimproved herb-rich pasture land containing some rare plant species. During World War II a US military camp was situated in Sylia's Meadow and since then the land has been left unploughed and unimproved. In this respect Sylvia's Meadow is unique to Cornwall."
