how are you created? == Cornwall/England == Steinsky, I think you have missed the point about the Cornwall/England debate. The list of peninsulars gives a geographical location and is not a legal definition (as the Cornwall page states). As the majority of people in Cornwall beleive that Cornwall is a seperate entity to England I think Penwith and The Lizard should be described as Cornwall, United Kingdom rather than England, United Kingdom. Any comments? --User:Cyr 10:12, 22 May 2005 (UTC) :I suggest changing the whole lot to counties, that will do the job of giving increased geographical information and will avoid POV.
