This will be about Adam Carr, won't it? I'm no great fan of Adam's
approach. It seems to me you are probably doing the pettifogging thing
yourself, rather than trying to word the relevant page: just banging on
about sources endlessly isn't a way to a meeting on minds.
There is a policy on civility. If you think you have a case, you can take
this to a formal procedure. If, as you say, you have been off WP for a
while, you could also try to take a different tack to this matter of
'Australia as republic' - for example, let it ride and add to some other
part of wiki-en.
Since you show no sign of changing the record, I shall not myself read any
more of these mails.
Clearly you didn't read the discussion page I cited. Nobody was
talking about republics. I'm trying to remove incorrect and unverified
material. Adam's position is that a combination of abuse, threats, and
shilling beats verifiability.
I disagree.
