At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building.

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.

I've rewritten the first sentence as there is no mention of William Douglass in the original reference, although it may be true. The ref I found mentions it was designed by his brother, Sir James Douglas but doesn't say who actually built it

Round Island Lighthouse, in the Isles of Scilly was built in 1887 by William Tregarthen Douglass. Jowaninpensans ( talk) 18:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC) reply
