Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

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?!

Copyright problem[edit]

This article indicates that it was begun with text from the public domain DNB, but it does not match the version currently linked at Wikisource (wikisource:Jane, Joseph (DNB00). Text is however, literally and liberally duplicated from the 2004 ODNB, which is not public domain. Compare the following, from the article's foundation with this edit:

Jane was one of John Arundell's officers at the siege of Pendennis Castle from April to August 1646, and appears as a signatory to a desperate appeal for help addressed to the prince of Wales. After the surrender of Pendennis Castle on 17 August 1646 Jane went into exile and began to suffer financially.

With the ODNB:

Jane was one of John Arundell's officers at the siege of Pendennis Castle from April to August 1646, and appears as a signatory to a desperate appeal for help addressed to the prince of Wales. After the surrender of Pendennis Castle on 17 August 1646 Jane went into exile and began to suffer financially.

There is more duplicated content; this is an example. The content is listed under authorship of Joad Raymond from 2004.

If we cannot verify that this text was copied from a version of the DNB that has lapsed into public domain, the article will need to be deleted or replaced. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:26, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
