Cornwall Start‑class High‑importance

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Cornwall, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of Cornwall and all things Cornish. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project member page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.CornwallWikipedia:WikiProject CornwallTemplate:WikiProject CornwallCornwall-related articles Start This article has been rated as Start-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. High This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale. 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. AtWikiProject 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?!

I was looking here for information regarding the reference in a Spanish spell to "the sardine queen" I'm unsure if the reference meant to an actual queen of the fishy sardines, or if referred to Sardinia or something. Any thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.114.146.222 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 4 July 2005 (UTC-7)

This is an extremely important fish, globally. It warrants a larger article. CyberAnth 05:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And you can eat its spine :D (Mad Gouki (talk) 23:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

How are sardines usually consumed? A lot of us (me for example) have no experience with them. 68.42.98.97 (talk) 00:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are commonly eaten directly from the can or used to supplement another food (like on top of a salad). FearNotMan (talk) 20:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

how do you tell if sardines are clean? i understand some sardines are slaughtered, cleaned and then cooked in that order while others happen to be cooked alive, and remain whole akin to lobster, a detestable manner which i find to be unsanitary and inhumane. how would i go about inspecting them before making a puchase? should i look for certain ingredients or packing information?63.192.20.149 (talk) 01:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think sardines are usually cooked at all... they don't appear to be and most non-breaded seafood is not cooked before packageing, I can't see why sardines would be pre-cooked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.174.165.150 (talk) 15:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every year Sardines migrate down the coast and back up again. It is sometimes referred to as the "Silver Tide", referring to the visible volumes of Sardines that move. I don't have the specifics, but have experienced it. Perhaps someone with more details could expand this section.

Cross-posted between WikiProjects Fishes, Fisheries and Fishing and Food and drink.

I have some information to add to the article Sardine. I have both scientific, commercial and cultural-related edits to make but my obstacle is that the article is a a bit of a mess and would like to know about your opinion on what is the best approach to take. To be as simple as possible, the article as it is now have an intoduction discussing the commercial use of the Sardines; a section in the form of a list concerning the scientific classification; another one called 'Sardine in popular culture' (a bizarre mix of sardine's cans and art, sardines in countries' culture and a history of fishing per country) and finally comes the tiny 'nutrition' section. I hope you've already got the picture of the mess.

So, what can be done with that article? My opinion is to split the article but I prefer to hear about other alternatives, if there are any. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 10:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at saffron for an example of an article that deals with multiple aspects of a living organism. Content forking should usually be done due to size issues, not merely because there are many different aspects of one topic.
