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've responded to the tag by increasing the amount of internal linking. It would be good to know which sections are most in need of clarification. Mikenorton (talk) 19:15, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The reference to 'fishing warp in the SAC section is quite opaque to me, and I would presume, to others. What does it mean? A quick scan through the given reference didn't assist but perhaps I just missed it. Either way it needs some explanation in the article as to what the term means and how it is relevant. cheers Geopersona (talk) 19:09, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The warps are the cables that are used to pull the trawling gear, although neither of our articles on trawling or fishing trawler make it clear. Let me think about how to better link this to clarify the use of the term. Mikenorton (talk) 20:46, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to make it clearer - let me know if it needs some more work. Mikenorton (talk) 18:23, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking time on this Mike. I presume then that the margin of the protected area is extended thus (ie to 330m) so that the trawl net of a ship whose surface position is at the margin of the protected area, would not extend into the protected area at the sea floor and hence have the potential to cause damage. I'm still not sure that that matter (if I have it right) is immediately apparent to the reader. The mention in the text of figures for the warp ratio ie 3:1, might not appear to the uninitiated as having any relevance to the designation. Nowhere in the article is there any reference to the dragging of trawl nets over the area as being potentially damaging - inclusion of that fact (if fact it be) would help make the link in the reader's mind. cheers Geopersona (talk) 10:27, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a sentence on the rationale, with a DEFRA case study that happens to use Haig Fras as its example. Mikenorton (talk) 12:41, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That improves matters. thanks Geopersona (talk) 19:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
