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?!

Description

Instead of describing the insect as "relatively large", it seems to be more helpful when there is at least an approximation of the size of the insect.

Life Cycle

Is there a way to leave a hyperlink on the word "gynaecoid"? Instead of going back and forth for the dictionary, I think it would be really great if there was a link to the word's definition just to make reading more convenient.

Behavior

There is a lot of information about the worker ants, but not much at all about the queens. What are some of the behaviors the queens have? It mentions in the "Life Cycle" category that:

Queens found colonies in the same manner as other ants from the Formica fusca group.

but it doesn't have any elaborated information on the behaviors of the "other ants" either, so an additional discussion about what behaviors "other ants" have would be very helpful.
