== Implications in edits == 

 I don't see any of the implications you seem to have seen in the removal of the territories in question from the National GDP list, not any part of the article. They seem to just have been removed from a national GDP list as they don't have 'national' GDPs, per se. Was there a reason to mention anything else other than your first and final sentences? I'm not asking this as an attack or anything, just trying to see the approach from your point of view. From mine, it seemed a surprising lack of good faith combined with exaggerating the situation, but again, I'm sure that's not what you meant to imply.
