Yes. Point taken John. Wow. Thank goodness I use syntax highlighting #love... but still: Yikes. Here's the link to the page if anyone wants to dig around the madness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
I guess I see a difference between a casual editor wanting to update a piece of data that can be Ctrl+F searched for among a mass of information versus battling with P# Wikidata items amongst an endless sea of chronological elements and curly brackets. But that's just me. re: this proposal I think Putnik has been very patient with my concerns and in trying to answer questions. As have others. I really appreciate it. I am not satisfied, and the majority of my concerns will not be addressed. There do not seem to be solutions here that will make me happy. I will be interested to see how this proposal progresses.
