Re: [Foundation-l] Showing the difference between the sexes

I couldn't see the 'Iceland is a province of Finland' edit over on Conservapedia on pages Finland, Iceland or Icelandic. If the edit is found, the anonymity of 'Editor' is blown. On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 3:03 PM, Fred Bauder wrote: > http://christwire.org/2011/02/when-wikipedia-wilts-an-interview-
