Does anyone know how to report an article on About.Com?

[Bittern]

I've discovered one that's written by the idiot in charge of the Geography section and to be all honest, this fool needs to actually study Geography and know what he's talking about.

Asking because I found an article that's extremely insulting to quite a few hundred-odd (myself included) and am hoping that something could be done about it.

This is what I'm talking about: http://geography.about.com/b/2004/07/05/scotland-is-not-a-country.htm

I don't want to mix it, but I think the article is pretty accurate in its content. I think you'd be wasting your time, and I think the author would relish your attempt to report or discredit it. To be short, i'd really just forget about it, and channel your frustration into something positive. However you feel about your nationality is personal to you, don't worry about what others infer.

I am Scottish and know that Scotland is NOT a country
Time to take a history lesson...
See the Union of Great Britain

Scotland is a country, just not an independent one. Great Britain is a union, not a country, and the United Kingdom is officially recognized as a sovereign state housing four smaller countries.

We're in the same situation as Canada.

We're in the same situation as Canada.

And England, Wales & Ireland

Whilst I don't agree with the articles content, it's over 6 years old, so what would you really achieve by emailing now? Do you really think you'll be the first complainant, I'm guessing you aren't.

I was actually hoping there'd be more complaints. I don't really know what I want to achieve, honestly. Maybe I was just a bit ****ed off that some bloody American who's probably never even been to the UK comes out with this clearly lacking the knowledge.

He won't change his opinion regardless of what you say, so don't bother trying., you'll be wasting your time.

and yet he appears to know more about it than people who actually live in Scotland.....

Please elaborate.

Please elaborate.

Scotland is not recognised as a country. Therefore it is not one.

Not yet anyway. Maybe if the SNP get their way.
