A coupe of thoughts on the comment that internet itself promotes
anonymity that might have been the case in the early days, but as more of
our 'real lives' activity migrates online and replaces the physical world;
internet has become the 'repository' of knowledge, but also goods and
services,
It appears *ony once* for you across the whole of the Wikimedia sites. So
if you ignore it the first time (like me) it will not display again.
Which is rather a poor design from a statistics perspective, but there you

The escalation was equally my fault. And I also apologise for the incident,

My nice comment, as I explained in private, was not intended to cause

One comment on your draft, is that the langugage makes it a bit unclear
for the average reader if/that the imbalance in England was because the
males left the country and/or were killed in overseas wars. It's implied

I've removed the image; I suggest not restoring it (as controversial)
