Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guidelineHow to write about settlements.
AtWikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to thepolicies laid down by Wikipedia - particularlycivility andconsensus building. We are aware that the wording onCornish 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 seeWP: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 asConstitutional 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?!
I have removed the following content from the page, as it doesn't relate to actual folkloric spriggans, but perhaps to a description of them in some fictional medium. If that source can be identified I suggest copying it back to the page as something like 'Depiction in (source)'. --Changeworks14:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Spriggans are mythical/fictional diminutive members of thefairy kingdom, more closely related tosprites andboggles thangoblins anddwarves. In the natural state, they could easily be mistaken for a cat if seen from a distance, due to their large luminous eyes, furry bodies, and long tails.[citation needed] But spriggans are otherwise only similar to cats in their complete disinterest in anything other than their own agenda - which, being of the nature of other faeries, changes from moment to moment. Being a prominent figure of faerie, they possess certain magical powers that allow them to change shapes at dramatic speeds, ranging in size from tiny insects to towering monsters. They can also travel instantly across vast distances in the blink of an eye.[citation needed]
