I see there's a move afoot to bring in pending changes at British Isles. A bunch of twats want to take control of the article and see this as a step in the right direction. Is this what pending changes is for? I also came across an admin who's adding more articles to the "trial" like there's no tomorrow. What gives, suckers? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/confused.gif)

Why is there so much edit warring over the boring subject of the British Isles. (Apologies to those who find it interesting).

Because there are a lot of single-minded Marxist fanatics out there. They imagine that the use of the term British Isles to refer to a group of islands that includes the Republic of Ireland denigrates the republic. Sheer nonsense of course.

Yes, it's rather more a historical term. Does anybody get upset that the Philippines no longer belong to Philip II of Spain, yet are still called that?

There are a lot of entirely fair and balanced minded individuals who spend their lives pissed off in perpetuity at the rest of the world (America is particular), saying England/English meaning Britain/British and Britain/British meaning England/English. I believe they are technically known as "Scots", and have their own parliament and laws. The World Cup and Olympic times are a perfect examples of it, when the rule appears to be, "if they are wining they are English and if they are losing they are British". The root of the problem being historically that the English never really saw British as meaning Britain but rather England with a few more frontline cannon fodder and a handy source of coal and crude oil.

My suspicion is that there are a few uppity Celts of whom not the Angevin, Cromwell, Henry VIII nor Jimbo Wales's multitudinous unpaid cohorts have been able to contain who have little to do with Marxism.

I am warmed to see the my favorite supremacist and apocalyptic destructive cult, the Brahma Kumaris, have made the discussion pages for pending changes following the persistent, manipulative and malevolent ownership by their adherent (... 6,000,000,000 'impure' humans to die in a nuclear holocaust they will "give courage" to happen so that 900,000 of their 'pure' faithful followers will inherit a ... no doubt 'glowing' ... heaven on earth once all other nation but Mata India have sunk below the waves!!!).
