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?!

Succession to the earldom[edit]

Descendants of Peregrine Eliot, 10th Earl of St Germans:

Albert Eliot, Lord Eliot. (b. 4 November 2004)
Hon. Louis Robert Eliot (born 11 April 1968, Plymouth, England)
Hon. Francis Michael Eliot (b.16 November 1971), who now uses the name of Freddie Freud. ^[1]

The other male-line descendants of Edward Eliot, 3rd Earl of St Germans and his wife Lady Jemima Cornwallis, also the descendants of appear to be extinct without male issue as of 1995.^[2]

There are no other heirs to the earldom, apart from those listed above.

Defaultsort[edit]

List of earldoms (section- Earldoms in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, 1801–present) sorts Earl of St Andrews and Earl of St Germans between Earl of Snowdon and Earl of Stockton. I suggest that there should be consistency between the sorting on that page and the sorting in Category:Earldoms in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Incidentally, the same principle is true for Earl St Aldwyn and Earl St Maur, which it sorts between Earl Sondes and Earl Sydney. Alekksandr (talk) 14:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There should be consistency, and "St" should be sorted as "Saint", as is normal in British English. DuncanHill (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - can you suggest a mechanism to ensure that this happens in List of earldoms? Thanks in advance. Alekksandr (talk) 16:13, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
