A3
Proposed rewording of A3:

A3: No. Please bear in mind that the histories and modern status of these four "constituent countries" are all very different. The constitution of the UK is asymmetrical, and it is false to try to present the 4 parts of the Union as having identical status. Wikipedia must attempt to present a highly complex and multi-layered topic using reliable, verifiable external sources and from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia cannot (and should not attempt to) create bland, artificial uniformity out of rich, real-world complexity.

Excellent work
Ben, this is marvelous! Just what the doctor ordered.

In particular, I think that the list of places it has been publicized is wise--  it both encourages people to think of further places not already on the list, but also serves to show the efforts to get as wide a quorum as possible.

good work! --Alecmconroy (talk) 18:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

OK - thanks. I've promised to wait for any comments from User:Tryptofish - then we can press ahead. Ben  Mac  Dui  20:25, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I second the commendation for excellent work! Thanks very much for doing this. I've whacked at it mercilessly :-) and it's now fine with me, whenever you are ready. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:14, 21 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Many thanks - I think the enumeration is very helpful. I get a perverse pleasure from capitalising section headers in non-article space, but I've no problem with those changes. The actual page should probably be "Draft RfC" rather than capitalised as well. I'll give it a quick look asap and post it live soon thereafter.  Ben   Mac  Dui  09:31, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
