Greetings! I saw the debate on Talk:Historic counties of England. Pretty conclusive stuff, but still being dismissed by the vocal disbelievers. Of course "a policy exists..." so facts must not be allowed to get in the way! Pretty sad really, but to quote another oft-used phrase "consensus can change", as we've seen with the Royal Mail and their utter climb-down over Rutland. Owain ( talk) 20:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I notice you have returned to editing after a long break. Almost all of the edits you have made so far appear to have caused some level of conflict, as did your contributions before your departure. Please remember we are a project to write an encyclopedia and have a number of principles under which we operate. Our talk pages are for us to discuss article improvement, not to antagonise other editors or to put forward original research. To refresh your memory, here below is the welcome message given to all new editors:

Your upload of File:Anglezarke.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
