::I agree with Chris, and would note that making such important changes to an article as you are making will require discussion on the article's talk page -- why are you so opposed to mention of anthems, calling England a "nation", etc.? Without justification, such major changes to a stable article like England will almost certainly be reverted. ] 20:57, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

"my talk" page to keep track of changes I have made to the Misplaced Pages, with my reasons.

WikiUser 20:08, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC) - Removed paragraph below from entry for England:

"England" is often used to refer to the United Kingdom, Great Britain, the island of Britain or indeed the British Isles. This is a misuse of the term and is not only incorrect but can cause offence to people from other parts of the UK. For example, someone from Scotland is also British but not English."

WikiUser 20:16, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC) - Removed paragraph below from entry for England:

"Generally, an English person is someone who lives in England regardless of their racial origin. However, some people (including many south Asians and whites) use the label as only referring to the Britons of England: those people of indigenous, or "Anglo-Saxon" origin – preferring to instead use "British" as a racially neutral label. This is only possible due to the somewhat hazy distinction that many people make between "England" and "Britain"."

BECAUSE the first sentence is untrue and the rest is virtually meaningless, the last sentence is also untrue.
