Talk:Cornish smuggling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		This article falls within the scope of the the Cornwall Wikiproject, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of Cornwall and all things Cornish. Contributions and new members welcome, you can edit the attached page, do a task from our to-do list, or visit the project page, and contribute to discussion.
		See drop down box for suggested article edit guidelines: Suggested article edit guidelines: Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here. This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussionbefore any major changes to the layout yourself. Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid is your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty! At the the Cornwall Wikiproject 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. 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 self-government movement, etc) and should not flow over into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - thats the reason we all do this right?!

This read more like an essay than an encyclopedia article at the moment, but I suspect there may be enough information to product an article on this subject. — sjorford (talk) 16:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

This article has a strange point of view. It treats smuggling as an activity that happened in the past and was in some way, glorious. It was and is a violent and brutal profession, with many victims in addition to "The Revenue". I hope that a well-informed, neutral editor can take the re-write on soon. - - - Vernon White 22:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I find it fascinating, as I crawl back into my chair after wetting myself since the sheer force of my laughter weakened my nether regions and caused me to roll about on the carpet, that we are so reticent as to discuss this particular encyclopedia topic. Resonanteye 14:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

"we feel a delicacy in speaking or writing on the subject, lest our natural sympathy should give to our remarks a tone which would belie our claim to rank as peaceful and law-abiding subjects." Please, someone write something about this with some sources, and without timidity about the opinions of the genteel. Resonanteye
