As an observation I d say that the term British Isles is relatively straight forward for some mainly British people in any context and for any subject matter Others tend to avoid the term these days unless it s within a particular geographic or scientific context Sure the term is used less today That s an observable trend But who knows it might be used more tomorrow generating another trend And of course nobody but some Irish cares who else would give a hoot It doesn t mean it s not a real issue though So we ll always get editors probably Irish popping up here to question query object argue etc for all the same reasons we ve heard before It doesn t mean that those editors are necessarily trying to cause trouble or are evil or are anti British or have read the history of this page to understand how consensus works and how it was achieved I don t go in for the POV pusher arguments on either side we ve entrenched views by some editors but they re entitled to their views and those views and everyone elses too help establish consensus This discussion I believe has reached its natural conclusion Consensus remains as it was no changes agreed
