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?!

Before posting an edit request on this talk page, please read the reliable sourcing and original research policies. These policies require that information in Wikipedia articles be supported by citations from reliable independent sources, and disallow your personal views, observations, interpretations, analyses, or anecdotes from being used.
Only content verified by subject experts and other reliable sources may be included, and uncited material may be removed without notice. If your complaint is about an assertion made in the article, check first to see if your proposed change is supported by reliable sources. If it is not, it is highly unlikely that your request will be granted. Checking the archives for previous discussions may provide more information. Requests which do not provide citations from reliable sources, or rely on unreliable sources, may be subject to closure without any other response.
This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:
The name of the runner the subject had an affair with is widely disseminated across the Internet, but there is currently no reliable source that has named him (WP:NOTRIGHT and WP:RELIABILITY). Furthermore, Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are clear on not naming the runner, see: WP:LOWPROFILE, WP:BLP1E, WP:LPNAME, WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE, and most importantly WP:AVOIDVICTIM. Editors may still debate it on this talk page.
For the time being, when discussing the inclusion of the runners name, do not include his name, or reference any unreliable sources that name him (see WP:RSPSOURCES).
This article is about Phillip Schofield, the person. So how exactly is Willougby's "are you ok" statement relevant here? Surely it would be more suited on Willoughby's own page instead of here. Also this article makes no mention of the fact Willoughby has also left This Morning. 209.93.85.21 (talk) 10:51, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So, you’d like an irrelevant statement removed and an irrelevant statement added? Got it. Seasider53 (talk) 11:14, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. And why is Holly Willoughby's article devoid of any mention of the "Are you ok?" speech? The paragraph on this article ("Willoughby, who had previously said she was hurt that Schofield had lied to her when she asked about the rumours, returned to This Morning on 5 June for the first time since his departure") would be better placed on her article rather than here. It's not relevant to this article about Phillip Schofield, the person. Neither is her leaving the show months later. The whole paragraph should be moved from here to Willoughby's article. --195.99.227.0 (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. I think that many observers see her leaving the show, even months later, as connected with Schofield. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point, but that doesn't explain why it's not mentioned once on Willougby's article though. --195.99.227.0 (talk) 19:48, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change ‘is a television presenter’ to ‘was a television presenter’ 92.7.6.72 (talk) 08:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: This would not be done until he dies. However, it could reasonably be changed to "former television presenter". Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 12:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But has he stated he has retired? Do any sources tell us that? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
