| 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?!

Is it possible to say what days of the week the 18th-20th May 1896 were? Did the disturbance start on a Saturday or Sunday, for instance? Also, what were the consequences of the rioting? Were there any arrests, and were there continued attempts to ban/land fish of a Sunday? I suppose that this is one of the events that has lead to the supposed antipathy between Pirates and Bucca's, although it seems from the text that Newlyn and Penzance men were already antagonistic toward each other.LessHeard vanU 21:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
