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?!

It would be very helpful if you included a guide to the pronunciation of these weird words. How does one pronounce Hamoaze? How in 1790? [HAM-ooze]?
I added an IPA pronunciation guide. I've tried to render the pronunciations I've found online, which seem closer to [HAM-owes] than [HAM-ooze]. If any locals can correct my probable mangling of the name, please do! —Ryan McDaniel17:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
hope its realised that this is generally thought to be an EnglishOED== - not a Cornish word - being Ham - settlement - next to the Ooze - muddy estuary. its also mentioned in Richard Carew's survey of Cornwall as it was on his doorstep. There is a possibility it is British as River Ouse could be from the Usk / Exe Celtic root
"The presence of large numbers of small watercraft are a challenge and hazard to the warships..." I would think that the warships are a rather bigger hazard to the small craft. SpinningSpark16:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is it of any interest to include here that the Royal Navy's largest aircraft carrier, the 50,000 ton displacement HMS Eagle, was moored in the Hamoaze after being decommissioned in 1972, where she was gradually stripped and acted as a source of spare parts for HMS Ark Royal, until finally being towed away for scrapping in 1978.
