Do nations as category as we know them today exist before the rise of nationalism and national revival in the late 18th century? For examples, did ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chineses each have their own respective shared unified national identity regardless of their socio-economic statuses? Or are nations just made-up imagined category arbitrarily created by elites or other groups for their own purposes? 70.95.44.93 ( talk) 01:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello! We visited Newington Green,London, to see where our ancestors worked and lived in the British Enlightenment. One thing we didn't see was the W supposedly at one corner of the Green that is in memory of Isaac Watts. I also didn't see it listed in the Wikipedia article on Watts and if found, could be added to the site. We did tour the oldest terraces, New Unity Church and other sites in the area where Dr. Richard Price and his nephews William Morgan and George Cadogan Morgan lived and worked. We were happy to see new projects especially for Mary Wollstonecraft. There is much going on in the area. Our local guide also edits Wikipedia. Thanks for your time. 2600:1702:1C0:B8F0:E416:6ED:3088:CFF1 ( talk) 20:55, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
