Talk:Cornish wrestling

message: Why is a certain someone out there so keen to uphold the "Englishness" of Cornwall? If they look elsewhere, they can see this is a contentious issue, and British would be a less POV term!
:NB: I know this comment is probably older than my pet dog, but, I have to point out that Cornish Wrestling is a Cornish cultural past-time, and not English, so Englishness or England, has no real place of bearing in this article at all. --Τασουλα (Shalom!) (talk) 21:54, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I've asked for a citation about Judo.  How is Cornish similar to Judo? Did a Japanese Judoka travel to the British Isles and train some folks in 1139? Hutcher (talk) 07:02, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I would make these edits myself, but unfortunately I have no idea how to do it properly so I'll just make the following suggestions.
I believe the date given for Michael Drayton's Poly Oblion is incorrect.  It should be 1612 not 1590.  Also it was not this poem that mentions the Cornishmen's banner at Agincourt.  It was another of Drayton's poems called Battaile of Agincourt published in 1627.
Here's a link to the poem.

And here is the relevant section
A siluere Tower, Dorsets Red Banner beares;
The Cornishmen two Wrestlers had for theirs.
The Deuonshire Band, a Beacon set on fire,
Sommerset a Virgine bathing in a Spring,
Their Cities Armes, the men of Glostershire,

message: Just come back here and realised the Devonian Wrestling page has been removed and all the Devonian wrestlers of Devonian Wrastling have been classed as participants in 'Cornish Wrestling' only. They're different sports and those wrastlers were Devonian wrastlers of the Devonian style that competed against Cornish wrastlers. The primary sources of the Cann and Polkinghorne match clearly state Cann using the Devonian style in 1826, for example. 
I really really hope this isn't a purposeful displacement in order to try and elimate Devonian Wrastling, but unfortunately it seems that way. Dvnedit (talk) 13:07, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
