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?!

Coordinates[edit]

Added coordinates to the wreck Roshill, 23 September 1917 and it has appeared at the top of the page. Anyone know how to stop it appearing there. Jowaninpensans (talk) 11:24, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yannakis / Jannakis[edit]

In the list of shipwrecks in 1921: ==November==* steamship Jannakis (Greek: Γιαννάκης) ( Greece): travelling in ballast from Rouen to Fowey and stranded on the eastern side of Praa Sands, Cornwall, UK. Driven further ashore by successive gales, she was refloated in January 1922 and towed to Penzance by The Lady and Greencastle, two Little Western Salvage vessels.^[1]^[2]

In this Cornwall list there are entries under 1921 and 1922 for what must be the same ship. (The Jannakis spelling looks like a German form of the name.)--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:33, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; it is rather puzzling now.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:00, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Checked Larn, Richard and Bridget. (1997) Shipwreck Index of the British Isles publisher by Lloyd's Register of Shipping and it is not in the book. On page 55 of the Port of Penzance by Clive Carter there is a photograph with the following “The Greek steamer Jannikis is towed into Penzance by the Lady of the Isles, after stranding on Praa Sands in November, 1921. Close in, the Lady's salvage mate Greencastle fusses around the steamer, helping, with the aid of another hawser, to keep her on course.” Jowaninpensans (talk) 17:52, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
