This mess of an article needs two things: 1) Severe copy editing in regards to paragraph and section breaks, and 2) a great reduction in technical jargon.

Agree. Someone with a severe case of culture theory (and no username and talk page) is doing the editing. I'm interested, because I went to grad school in anthropology back in the old days of "bounded cultures" and eventually rejected the whole field as an excresence of nationalism. There's some interesting ideas here, but too much cant is being propounded as THE TRUTH. No history, no other points of view.

I agree that this page is a single, limited, view of an extremely troubled and hardly "well-defined" concept. I am not sure how much work such a potentially bogus concept as "cultural identity deserves", however.

Would anonymous care to identify him or herself and we can work on this together? Zora 11:57, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] WP:OR removal

Unless any registered editor strenuously objects, I'm going to remove all the lengthy original research from this article, reducing it to a stub. Sandstein 04:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Is it possible to note that the idea deserves some attention, but not to approach it in this weird way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.235.240.35 (talk • contribs)

Yes, by marking it as a stub and by referring to this discussion in the edit summary. Sandstein 04:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've done it. Sandstein 04:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It at least needs a part about Quebec and their "distict society."
