Wikipedia is likely a micronation, much like the Kingdom of Talossa:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talossa

It is "one of the earliest micronations — founded in 1979 by then 14-year-old Robert Ben Madison of Milwaukee and at first confined to his bedroom."

Since then, it has expanded.

Hmmm, it sounds like Peasmoldia which was created in the 60's by our dear leader Good King Gruntfuttock and consists of Railway Sidings, Hoxton.

Spike Milligan did something similar a decade earlier.

Talking about the Scots, they may well say Ciao given a second chance.

In all my years I have not heard or seen the word ‘Ciao’ prior to it’s use here in the thread. Well it is Italian for ‘see you’, so will explain matters.
 
from Wikipedia which can better explain in english than I coul do !

"The word derives from the Venetian phrase s-ciào vostro or s-ciào su literally meaning "I am your slave".[1] This greeting is analogous to the medieval Latin Servus which is still used colloquially in parts of Central/Eastern Europe or the antiquated English valediction "Your Obedient Servant.""

Well then, on the basis of Wiki’s definition I can’t see many Scots saying ciao.
As an aside, I’m not sure I know how to pronounce the word; it seems un-pronounceable in the English language. Actually I’m 100% certain I don’t know how to utter the word.

Just say "chow" or perhaps more accurately "chee-ow" and you will be pretty close. Least that's how we say it. Here in Oz it has entered everyday parlance in many quarters thanks to the large Italian migration waves in the post war years. I have had many good Italian friends over the years. As well as a few of the opposite gender who were closer still (blush)

Where's Wikipedia? I've looked on several maps and atlases but can't find it.

Wikipedia is a large island directly south of Melbourne in the Wikipedia Sea. The locals (known as Wikipedians) produce some of the best wines, seafood and cheeses it has been my pleasure to consume in the five years we lived there.

I am sure peterm will agree with me on this, even if the Limestone Coast in his own home state comes in at a close second for superb red wines.

I do agree. Is that island where the elusive greater striped Wikipedia Tiger used to be found?

I leave this thread for a few days and I see so many posts with so much interesting content! I am lost. Where would I begin here ...

It's a Tasmanian Tiger, from the State of Australia, Tasmania, an Island down south.

What? I am confused. Google specifically referred to it as a rare Wiki Tiger - scientific name Thylocene Encyclopedias Internetus (var. Open Sourcus). :)
