Please don't be unkind to Proteus, who responded to a direct request of yours at ]. I don't know why you think ChrisO, I, and many others are "out to get you". I certainly don't derive any weird enjoyment from asking you to be more polite and to discuss your changes -- I'm doing this because I want this site to be a positive place where we can provide neutral information. Furthermore, despite your claims to contrary at the Help desk, I am very willing to resolve this dispute with you. Which talk page would you like to discuss on? Or would you prefer to mediate? I am open to both possibilities -- you simply have to tell me what you would like. Thank you. ] 17:47, 30 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.
