Revision as of 21:15, 2 August 2005
I removed the sentence
- A large, very vocal minority of the inhabitants of the Catalan Countries fervently believe in this concept.
because
- The meaning of "a large minority" is ambiguous.
- The remark about fervency does not seem appropriate for an encyclopedia.
I don't see why his article and Catalan independence should be merged. They have different subjects.
confusing sentence
This sentence from the article
- This concept is met with significant popular approval in Catalonia, peaceful indifference in the Balearic Islands and with resounding disapproval in the Valencian Community.
either has not much meaning or it is not true. Of course, any political idea is met with different degrees of approval at different places. But everywhere you may find people enthusiastic, indifferent and contrary to it. I understand the idea of the writer of the sentence, but as it is written it is not at all NPOV. In my experience, most Valencians I know are more enthusiastic about the catalan countries than most people from Catalonia. Lacking a rewriting or some justification (real data from somewhere, if it exists), I will remove it.
- Don't know whom you know in Valencia, but surely they're not representative of Valencian people.
