Because I had never equated Confed as an informal term and the notion never crossed my mind. Confed is used in official documents contained within canon sources. So I bring it up now because I never put it into that category and was surprised to see it there. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 14:35, 3 September 2010 (CDT)

It was in that original list I sent to you, so I thought you were okay with it. Anyway, it seems to me that the authors were probably also writing in an informal tone, but if it's in the literature now, I suppose we're stuck with it. Point removed. I don't like it, but I wasn't 'persecuting' it. I'm normally on the receiving end of that, not the other way around. - Wedge

Uh, that point has been in force for a while now...? It's mainly stemming from the rule that we are supposed to be official researchers or some such, writing archival and historical documents, not news journals and publications which may be less formal and rigid... but if you want to drop that idea, I can't say no, can I? But I'm just confused, if you don't like that idea, why only raise it now? - Wedge
