Hi Peter - thanks for the welcome! I was at the prom - was a truly spectacular performance, so that was enough to prompt me into action here. Not sure that WP editing won't morph into a massive procrastination activity, but hopefully I'll keep making some small contributions, learn the ropes, before getting onto some more significant stuff (speaking of small edits, hope I'm putting this in the right place...!). See you around... ] (]) 13:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
: ::Haha yeah - sorry about that - gave me the perfect excuse to listen again on a wet sunday afternoon. Do make any improvements you can think of though! Nothing about Britten in the booklet, or Grove that I can see. How was Gothic? Came across an interesting discrepancy regarding what century this was set in (13th or 14th - waiting to hear back from Viva...). I'm definitely enjoying this editing thing... – ] (]) 23:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

== Jerusalem: Abode of peace ==

The first section does not undermine appearance in the lede but only supports it. It has been there for some time and there hasn't been a good reason given for removing it other than a historical dispute on Etymology which does not change the wide recognition for mention in the lede. You have undermined the continuing discussion on it, and are effectively engaging in edit-warring. Please explain your reasoning in the talk page and self-revert to the long-standing community consensus until a new consensus is agreed to. --] (]) 12:21, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

:No, I'm not taking an accusation of edit-warring on my first edit from someone who has been making the same revert every other day. The etymology section and the talk page make it clear that the interpretation you want in the lede is at least controversial and most likely a distinct minority view among academic etymologists. I known that it is traditional to gamble at this time of the year but the dreidel is ]ed against you.--] (]) 16:00, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

::You engaged in an edit-war to forcefully change disputed content before the dispute is settled. I didn't invent the phrase nor insert it there. It was in the lede long before the dispute began. It's based on popular recognition, for which there are ample sources. The dispute between etymologists is covered in its section. A popular meaning, supported by RS and long-standing community consensus supersedes linguistic considerations in a lede: ]. Your reasoning disregards one of the pillar guidelines for article introductions. --] (]) 21:41, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
