Isle of Man
For some months you seem to have been trying to add information in the first paragraph which is already mentioned in the second paragraph. It would appear that a number of other editors disagree with your attempted change. The first paragraph outlines the current situation and the second paragraph gives a brief history. What I have done is add a correctly-formatted link to Treaty of Perth in the second paragraph. Murray Langton (talk) 11:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

hi murray, i'm sorry in that i'm fairly new to this & don't know how to reply to you other than by doing it this way. what i had been trying to do is shrink the facts & not have them dragged out, so it was easier for people to read. by the looks of it you have been determined to deny the fact that the isle of man was a scottish island, that puzzled me.


 * Two points to note. First, when you make a post on any talk page, even on your own talk page, conclude it with 4 consecutive tildas '~'; the effect of this to sign the post with your name and the date and time.  Second, if you read the comment I made above, the fact that the Isle of Man was a Scottish island has already been mentioned in the second paragraph of the article, so there is no need to repeat it in the first paragraph.  The Treaty of Perth transferred the island to English control.  In no way am I denying anything, I'm just avoiding repetition.  Looking back over the edit history, it would appear that at least two other editors (not known personally to me) agree with me. Murray Langton (talk) 21:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
