Concern
I am concerned by this edit. The effect is to change a factually accurate entry to one that is vague and obscured on the pretext of the International context edit summary. I question the motives for this. MRSC 12:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Look, you proudly declare on your userpage that you are in favour of traditional counties, and dislike people talking about England. You then proceed on a mass editing, which results in an ugly mismash of links, which also happens to (a) have "north Yorkshire" instead of "North Yorkshire", and (b) de-links England.


 * Ooh, what conclusions are we possibly supposed to draw from this? Your pretext has shifted variously: but it remains a pretext.  "International context" is all very well : but in reality "United Kingdom" is a less well recognised term than "England" outside these isles.  The Act of Union is another red herring : so what?  "England" has remained a legal concept since then: and was most recently re-asserted by the Interpretation Act 1978.  And for better or worse, the four parts of the United Kingdom have greatly different legal and political settlements and arrangements.


 * By the way, as the person who drew up those maps of England, and is in no way an English nationalist, I consider your little infobox attacking my decision (which was made primarily on æsthetic and constitency grounds - I would be willing to explain further why this is a good idea), really quite nasty and spiteful. Please remove it.  Morwen - Talk 16:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
