You are welcome to leave messages here. I will reply here (rather than on, say, your user page). Conversely, if I've left a message on your talk page, I'm watching it, so please reply there. If your messages are rude, wandering or repetitive I will likely edit them and may even delete them. If you want to leave such a message, put it on your talk page and leave me a note here. In general, I prefer to conduct my discussions in public. If you have a question for me, put it here (or on the article talk, or...) rather than via email.

I've rewritten that page again another way trying to include your perspective. I hope it is a meeting ground between us both. --RA (talk) 09:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking good. Your addition of "as a word on its own" makes your point, but ensures readers understand that they may be looking up a phrase/entity, or they may have to be pointed to two entities joined by "and". I've redirected "Britain and Ireland" here too - do you think we should also have a small section dealing with "Britain" as a word on its own? --HighKing (talk) 09:39, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Saw the redirect. It's much of a muchness which to point at which (but "Great Britain" seems to be the wiki preference).
I've stuck in "Britain" as another form of "Great Britain", but I wouldn't both adding sections explaining the words any more. It would just be forking off info (better) dealt with elsewhere. --RA (talk) 10:15, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks RA. Wasn't trying to be obtuse or deliberately awkward in our discussion either. Too much respect for you for that. --HighKing (talk) 13:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, High King. If you are talking of the posting that is still in the thread, it might be a good idea if it was deleted till you receive a reply from an oversighter. Cheers. Jack forbes (talk) 16:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a closer look, I do see oversights at 13:24, 13:25 and 13:26. Jack forbes (talk) 16:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By their very nature, you can't see oversights... :-) These are revdel's AFAIK. --HighKing (talk) 17:14, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
