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?!

You undid a category revision on Battle of Hehil referencing "uncertain categorisation". This revision is being applied across the board to diffuse Category:Battles involving the Anglo-Saxons into battles involving the Heptarchy Kingdoms where they can be applied. I've reverted this revision as the West Saxons are synonymous with Wessex, but welcome to discuss this further at Category:Battles involving Wessex - better to apply the outcomes of a disagreement for the entire category than under a single article.

Of course, we could apply the outcomes to the entire category when the disagreement was about the whole category, but this one is only about the Battle of Hehil. There's no evidence that that battle was between the Britons and the Saxons, let alone between the Britons and the West Saxons. The Annales Cambriae tell us the Britons won, but who the other combatants were is a matter for informed guesswork. An encyclopedia can refer to speculation but can't possibly treat it as fact, so the best thing here will be to use neither Category:Battles involving the Anglo-Saxons nor Category:Battles involving Wessex. I'll make that correction. Moonraker2 (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the Significance section there is reference to a Geraint. It is currently wikilinked to the Arthurian character. I imagine a more likely Geraint in this context might be Geraint of Dumnonia. Does anybody (@Moonraker for instance) know for certain? Frans Fowler (talk) 20:43, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
