Edit warring
editNo wanting to get into a edit war I would like to put the case for removing the term British Isles here at the talk page. As well as being a controversial term (see British Isles naming dispute) the reference uses England, Ireland, and Scotland and as the British Isles also includes the Isle of Man and for the life of me the Channel Islands, using anything other than the reference could be considered WP:OR.

- Abject rubbish. 1) The term isn't controversial. 2) The suggestion that use of the term should be inclusive of every single element has been dismissed on numerous occasions. LemonMonday Talk 22:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Careful LM. The sanctions are still in place for systematically inserting/removing the term "British Isles" with references. But you know that already... --HighKing (talk) 00:49, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- This is actually one for Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars, so bear that in mind. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- It's already included! Although the description of the edit war displays systemic bias, but hey, that's a different matter. --HighKing (talk) 14:36, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- HK, well OK. I did try to explain that to Bjmullan but he was having none if it and continues to target British Isles. Anyway, I've reverted it to its pre-bjm state, so either he, or you, are free to take it to BISE. LemonMonday Talk 16:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- LM, you've argued in the past against BISE. You tried to shut it down on more than one occasion. So now that it is dead, are you saying you want to bring it back? The sanctions are still in force though, and people would do well to read them - specifically the part about systematically inserting/removing *without references*, and specifically about edit warring over the addition/removal of the term. In my mind, if these sanctions had been in place from the start, there would have been no need for BISE in the first place to go through articles step-by-step and prevent edit-warring, and since nobody seems interested in "guidelines", BISE serves no purpose. --HighKing (talk) 15:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- BISE is dormant. GoodDay (talk) 18:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- GoodDay BISE isn't dormant it's dead. LemonMonday why are you explaining this to me when you have added the term British Isles in other articles without going to BISE yourself? Is it one rule for you and another for everyone else? Is removing the term POV but adding not? As BISE is dead I will continue as I have to abide with the rules and guidelines of WP. If people don't like that they are free (as they have done in the past) to report me to AN/I. Bjmullan (talk) 21:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Dormant, dead, expired etc. It's no longer used for sorting out BI stuff. GoodDay (talk) 21:56, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
