Hi! I just discovered this site and saw my name mentioned. And I noticed Gold Heart and Alison were communing here, which, to say the least surprised me. So I registered and the gracious Moderator accepted my application for membership for which I am most thankful. I'm a Wiki editor who's just turned TWO and I come to this thread because I'd be 100% behind (several steps perhaps) Bardcom in his efforts to tone down
British Nationalist POV in Ireland-related articles.
(I can't say
British Nationalist on Wiki 'cos it seems yer average sensitive Anglo-editor can't distinguish Britishness from the BNPness, understandably no doubt)
So, lay off the editor-formerly-known-as-Bardcom Mr Banned Editor. Desist. I worship the guy. (IMG:

Do I sign this????????
You already have. You get away with absolute murder on Wikpedia and are continually protected like a 6 year old child, I wonder what you'll be like here?
And is Wiki Review ready for all this? Plastic Celts just never shut up...
And what is the WR policy on anti-British racism? Where is it on the universal scale of bigotry? Somewhere behind the Muslims I expect. I expect to see a good kicking.
The
myth is that Wikipedia is some kind of "pro-British POVist" swamp. The
reality is that Britain exists (!), and that a number of articles are kept knee-capped from advancement by a group of highly politicised people who wish for a few political things:
The end to the term British Isles, the complete unification of Ireland, and the evils of the interchangeable (to them) 'British'/'British Empire' highlighted above everything else, no matter what the relative importance in the article is.
The fact that people are still exploring peace in Ireland and no one wants their fury right now matters not a jot to them. And Wikipedia being Wikipedia, the obsessive will get their way.
