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?!

The organisation's website states that, although most of the Kesva's members use Kernewek Kemmyn, the organisation recognises the use of the Standard Written Form for education and public life. Does the statement that "In 1987 the Board voted to adopt the Kernewek Kemmyn form of Cornish as its standard." need qualifying? Skinsmoke (talk) 18:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Cornish Language Board isn't the same as the Welsh Language Board, it's more of a language society than an official regulator. The Board adopted KK as its standard form in 1987, but the other language societies didn't. The use of Cornish in education and public life is the responsibility of the official language body, the Cornish Language Partnership. --Joowwww (talk) 22:46, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that Joowwww. I think I understand what you're saying. However, the wording as it stands gives the impression that the Kesva supports Kernewek Kemmyn and is therefore opposed to the Standard Written Form. That doesn't appear to be either what is intended, or indeed to be the position of the Kesva. I suspect the wording predates the general adoption of the Standard Written Form over the last year or so, and maybe it needs tweaking/updating? Skinsmoke (talk) 17:06, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited the article to include references to the current website, and removed information without references. Hopefully now it should make the situation a bit clearer. The Kesva officially supports the SWF but it only does so begrudgingly, some people in it would prefer KK to be the standard. --Joowwww (talk) 01:19, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clearing that up! Skinsmoke (talk) 02:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
