Thoughts anyone?
Ok, so I'm hesitant to change the contents of the South America article. I know - and I'd be willing to bet most Knoxians know - that South America is not considered a region of Mexico and that more than "certain liberal intellectuals" claim it is a continent, as the article currently states. But would changing that so that it is purely a factual entry go against the spirit of the WikiFire?
I don't want to get into a war of changes with someone. But I'm not sure what to do. Option 1: Leave the inaccuracies intact. Option 2: Change the inaccuracies and risk starting a war of changes with whoever wants to claim South America is considered a region of Mexico. Thoughts?
