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?!

"Reference 1 indicating that Alan M. Kent doubts that Maclean was descended from the Scottish Macleans should be checked as it may be a case of mistaken identity. I, Alan Kent, expressed such a doubt in the Cornwall Family History Society Journal, as indicated by reference 3." Unfortunately the link to the webpage which contained the Alan Kent account of John Maclean no longer works. When the contribution to the CFHS Journal has been checked this can be clarified.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

P.S. As a non-member of the Society I cannot get access to the Journal so I will remove the "M." assuming that Alan Kent was not the poet.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:58, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
The link to Alan Kent's biography is available again.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 04:20, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

This John Maclean is not usually referred to as John MacLean.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 16:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
