I dont disagree with your point except that Im not exactly trying to appease here I guess it sounded that way though  I actually think both points of view have merit which is why Id go with the AngloAustralian type of construction and maybe drop the Manx in the first sentence As I said if you had asked me before this discussion started where the Bee Gees were from I would have said Australia based on how I recall them being promoted in the s and I also totally see the logic of considering them English so the dual wording does make sense to me   Ive looked a bit and havent come up with anything on the web to answer that question yet  maybe youll have more luck     By the way Olivia NewtonJohn may be relevant here  she is considered Australian as well and her WIki article calls her Englishborn Australian or words to that effect  Her bio says she was born in England moved to Australia at age  and moved back to England at  where she began recording  a pretty similar story to the BeeGees and shes listed as Australian which might be how she selfidentifies I dont know  But on a quick read it appears she only lived there for about  years like them  As for whether this editing is personal I have no idea and dont want to get into it  I do know that I  am trying to reach consensus among different points of view on this exceedingly minor point  and as I have said there was some fussing about it a couple of months ago and it settled down with the awkward wording because it is accurate  So I hope we can drop this quickly and move on to something more substantive
