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?!

where in Cornwall is this?
Never heard of it.Talskiddy
It is exactly where the coords put it – one mile north of Looe
Great Tree does exist, I have been there, I just can't for the life of me remember where it is in Cornwall. I spent about an hour pouring over multimap trying to find it with no luck. Problem is there are so many little villages in Cornwall that it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.--Badharlick 06:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Edited this article to remove a bunch of rubbish that was totally unrelated to the place. Something about some Ash tree and some fighting... I don't know. I looked at the references and they certainly weren't relevant. Also corrected the fact that Cornwall is a duchy, not a county, that cornwall is NOT in England, and that nobody cares about whether or not some place has a bus service. 99% of Cornwall isn't served by busses simply because it's so sparsely populated. There really isn't much point in having an article on Great Tree because there's pretty much nothing there except for a huge caravan site and some houses. Nearby Hessenford, No Man's Land, or Widegates would be better, since Great Tree is no more than a farm labourer's hamlet.▫Bad▫harlick♠ 23:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
While you are right to have removed that irrelevant content, I contest your assertion that there ...isn't much point in having an article on Great Tree because there's pretty much nothing there except for a huge caravan site and some houses...
Firstly, it is a specific place in Cornwall and that in itself makes it notable – if size or "nothing there" was the criterion we'd lose most of the Cornwall places articles. Secondly, the fact there is a huge caravan site and some houses makes it notable and contradicts your assertion there's nothing there.
