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?!

Laura Knight Quote

Latest comment: 18 years ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

I found the Laura Knight quote completely by accident while researching for a biography. I added this comment by Knight not to shed a negative light on her, but because I thought it an unusual but important aspect into her life, thoughts and enviorment of the 1920's.

First or second woman elected to RA?

There is an error in this article. Laura Knight was not the first woman elected to the Royal Academy of Arts. According to various sources, Angelica Kauffman and Mary Moser were the first, and founding, female members of the Royal Academy. No other female members were elected until Annie_Swynnerton was elected in 1922, more than a decade before Laura Knight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6017:7D:C843:33AE:53BB:9C99 (talk) 20:37, 7 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for bringing this up. Knight was the first woman elected to full membership, but as you say the second elected to associate membership, a few years earlier. I will clarify the article accordingly. --Mirokado (talk) 22:11, 7 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

Great Carmo's Circus merits a link, but it and its creator, Harry Cameron, are overlooked by WP. A lot of material here. Spicemix (talk) 16:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC) Reply
