[edit] Living needs disambiguation

The living of Alresford is actually a dab page. Need to choose between Alresford, Essex, New Alresford or Old Alresford (latter two in Hampshire). -- Chris j wood 14:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First use of term British Isles

The first use of the term British Isles that is recorded by OED is by Heylin in 1621 but OED does not claim, as far as I know, that he coined the term. According to British_Isles_(terminology)#Renaissance_mapmakers it was earlier used by Gerardus Mercator (1512), Giovanni Magini (1596), Abraham Ortelius (1570) and Sebastian Munster (1550). Therefore removing statement from this article. Nurg 01:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
