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?!

"bi-curious" in the terminology of today

All Wikipedia articles are written for today's readers. The phrase "in the terminology of today" is superfluous and I will delete it.

Biased

This article is biased. It acknowledges that there were many people who were highly critical of him, but they are all waved aside, so that everyone who ever said anything *good* about him can be highlighted. The impression given (though not explicitly stated) is that lots of people hated his work, but they were all idiots and should be ignored, and the minority who liked him were the smart ones, so let's talk about them. To be balanced, the explicit complaints of the detractors should be cited. I'm particularly interested in this, because I find him to be the single worst writer I've ever been forced to read, and so I'd like to learn more about other critical views of him. And this article gave me *none* of that (except, perhaps, that some people were bent out of shape by the explicit sexuality (which, by the way, is NOT my complaint). I find it hard to believe that that was the only complaint. But if it in fact were, the article should say *that*). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.186.24.68 (talk) 19:48, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I echo the above sentiments. I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor, so I'm not going to make the requisite edits at this time, but someone please visit the following link and see if some edits are in order. The author makes a good case for why D.H. Lawrence had some very unsavory views which would be considered racist in 2019. Many people did back then, but if kids are going to read and be influenced by his work, the public should know that he thought very low things of other races. https://www.bookforum.com/print/2604/d-h-lawrence-s-stunning-indefensible-essays-23766

Let's be careful not to romanticize past figures, including via omission.

There has been much debate about such matters in the RfCs above. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:25, 27 November 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Novel discovered in the 1980s

When I was doing "A" level English, back in the years 1983 to 1985, I heard that a lost novel by D.H. Lawrence had been discovered in these years. If anyone knows anything about this lost Lawrence novel, mention of it would make an interesting addition to the article. YTKJ (talk) 22:03, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The back cover of the Penguin paperback edition of Mr Noon states that Gilbert Noon's "story was continued in a manuscript that was lost until 1972." The manuscript was probably the "second fragment," published in 1984, that is referred to in Mr Noon. Someone might check this out and edit Mr Noon to mention its 1972 discovery, if my speculation is correct.Maurice Magnus (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

explanation needed

In the penultimate paragraph under "Later life and career," I just added "citation needed" to "The return to Italy allowed him to renew old friendships; during these years he was particularly close to Aldous Huxley, who was to edit the first collection of Lawrence's letters after his death, along with a memoir." But it needs more than a citation to the source of this information. The memoir should be identified. It is probably Lawrence's memoir, but that's not even clear; it could be Huxley's. I'm not aware that Lawrence wrote a memoir. Maurice Magnus (talk) 13:27, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
