[edit] My problem with your edits to Celtic nations

The major problem here is your adding of POV by saying that the six nations are part of the heartland. Even if one considered there to be other areas that are Celtic enough according to the criteria being chosen here (that is, the definitions of the Celtic Congress and other major Celtic organizations), then they'd still not qualify to be in the heartland, since the meaning of "heartland" would here be "smack dab in the middle, where Celticness is strongest" and Galicia, Asturias, and wherever else, don't qualify for such an identification. That said, we have chosen our criteria here for inclusion in the group of Celtic nations the only way we possible can, by the view of the major organizations that deal with the issue. As such, there are only six nations discussed in the article as being Celtic--the other regions are mentioned as possible candidates for the future if the major Celtic organizations change what they consider essential to a Celtic nation, not to imply that they are Celtic nations of a different sort.

[edit] Addition to Cracker (pejorative)

I have removed your recent addition to Cracker as making no sense whatsoever. The article you link to uses the word that you mention, "Quáqueros" as a translation for Quaker and nothing more: "Quáqueros y Puritanos eran colectivistas" (Quakers and Puritans were collectivists). I can't imagine you did not understand this when you inserted it. Lexicon (talk) 11:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see that the first of the two links does say something to that effect, although I don't think one reference to a claim on what is essentially a blog is enough for the addition (that's not to say that I support other claims in the article either). Lexicon (talk) 11:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
