`  :Another mass revert? That's the only major reversion I've made on this article. The only other reversion was the removal of a very POV paragraph recently added by Zaph. You're right, though, in that I should have stated my reasoning here (which you too are guilty of, btw). My reasoning for the reversion is that sourced information was removed without description (I do conced, though, that in one case I accidentally doubled information that was already included, and needed a citation). Yukirat asked me not to go into detail on my talk page, but I think it's better to do so. The reversion of information regarding Saracens in Spain was because it's better to be specific. Spain was ruled by Muslims during the middle ages and had Arab settlers there as a result. Maybe a better wording would be ``where Saracens and Moors ruled and settled for many centuries.`` The ``concentrated`` versus ``may be found`` is a style thing, as well as the fact that the newer ``may be found`` changes the information conveyed, which may or may not be correct (so I kept the earlier version). With regards to Southern Italians, again I was sticking to the earlier information, which was uncited, but so were the recent changes. I believe the older version with a {{fact}} added at the end. The re-inclusion of information on Irish Americans and Chinese Americans by me was because they were cited, and there was no reason not to include them as they were pertinent to the article. The Irish marrying fact is less obvious, but it shows that, despite being accepted as white, there need not be more integration within the ``white community`` than outside of it. With regard to my use of ``vary greatly,`` versus ``vary,`` it was more a style thing, but if the former is inaccurate, then I'll acquiesce. I see no reason not to include relevant sourced information, so Yukirat, I'm reinserting the information you reverted. If you wish to remove it, please state a reason on the talk page (which I should have done earlier, I apologize) before doing so. —  (Yom) |  •  `
