Wikipedia is an extensive online encyclopedia. What makes it different is anybody can add to it or edit it.
Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornwall
I was suitably impreesed with just how much information is there. However, there are still lots of omissions. Have a go, you might even like it.
Yeah, but the entry on Devon has been pretty much taken over by the Celtic Devon brigade and is highly biased towards their agenda. I think the moderators let them get away with it because they don't know any better. If someone goes on there to say that the Earth is flat or the Holocaust never happened, that can be squashed immediately, but more subtle distortions of history can slip under the radar.
I don't see why not. Best to get these things out in the open. I forgot to mention the battles I had with them on the Wessex page to stop them erasing any reference to Devon even being part of Thomas Hardy's literary Wessex, let alone the real thing.
Well i have been doing a bit of wiki editing but i think i have done a terrible job especially with my contributions on Cornish Sports, Food and other culture. Someone please take over!

Is there anything on Wikipedia about the Duchy of Cornwall or the Duke and Duchess ? When was the Duchy formed and how did they obtain the land.....I can guess !!
Yup its there under Duchy of Cornwall.
but there is room for improvement, eg the change from Earldom to Duchy, one body of governance to another (private estate to provide an income, yeah right!)
