"British Isles"

According to the British Isles article, most definitions do not include the Channel Islands and Isle of Man as part of what some people call the British Isles; only "some" definitions subscribe to that view. Therefore if you are including them in your definition of the "British Isles" your definition will at least need clarification. The very use of that term to imply rule over all of Ireland is inappropriate to begin with, particularly when UK and (insert number) number of overseas territories would be far more precise.
