Disruptive edits?  No - only correcting a falsehood re-inserted by the perpetrator, who took liberties with the ""consensus"" decision that he was wildly off base.  Even in a footnote, his original research that islands in the Fraser River are ""not actually part of the continuous mainland"" is fictitious and constitute digging in his heels on his position; I simply corrected his (ongoing) error and mis-use of language; he wants to mention the City of Richmond, not its main island (Lulu Island, which also includes about 1/3 of the City of New Westminster, namely Queensborough), yet his ""footnote"" spoke of Richmond as an island.  I'm not the one making the disruptive edits.  Franamax, who's familiar with the area, also concurs about the notion that freshwater islands are obviously part of the mainland and distinct from offshore islands such as Bowen; and that same footnote also re-digs in the false notion that dictionary definitions have anything to do with the meaning of the name.  The RfC accomplished nothing, except the consensus refutation of any validity to his position, and rile my back up over something wildly silly in nature for no good reason; and the RfC closed, with the consensus that JimWae's position was wrong, but a footnote explaining , not asserting.  JimWae simply went ahead and reinserted his original problem-content as if it were all peachy keen and he had won.  But he didn't even get the English idiom ""contiguous mainland"" correct, I corrected that; he also wanted to centre on the City of Richmond even though that's not, in and of itself, an island (it's about 20); I simply pointed out the absurdity of what he had added by adding other things that didn't fit the dictionary definitions attached to ""lower"" and ""mainland"".  If you give as license to absurdity, or tolerate it, then you have to tolerate absurdities ensuant on it with impartiality.  Rivers and lakes are not land, but they are part of ""the mainland"", mountain peaks are not ""lower"", but they are part of the Lower Mainland.  So either the RfC stands - with JimWae's assertions being dismissed as original research - or you are enforcing a selective interpretation of it forbidding anyone from altering what JimWae wants to add, even though his addition was not supported by the RfC.  *A* footnote was tolerated by the RfC, or suggested by it.  But nobody said ""let JimWae say whatever he wants so long as it's in footnote form"".  And if he uses incorrect language/idiom, then anyone (including me) can correct it - the City of Richmond is not an island, and the expression ""continuous mainland"" is not the correct English idiom for what he thinks he's saying. It's that simple.  You're welcome to reverse the consequent absurdities I've added; but if you do, and leave JimWae's false and original research as it is, then you have gone against the consensus of the RfC.....Lulu Island is in the Fraser River, not Georgia Strait, it's that simple; and the river is on the mainland, so what's in it is on the mainland.....if that needs to be explained in a footnote, it doesn't need to be explained in the way that JimWae put it; which was, again, simply his re-iteration of his original erroneous and original-research interpretation.....
