This page explains the purpose of these edits and the project in general.

"Comprised of" in English

[edit]

There is simply nothing wrong with "comprised of" in modern English. The Wikipedia article Comprised of documents that the usage goes back hundreds of years in the works of well-known authors and that it is broadly and commonly used in writing in journalism, books, government documents and other sources.

The obsession with "fixing" the non-problem appears to be a fetish with imposing an antiquated and obsolete distinction and an unwillingness to accept that usage has changed, combined with a deep-seated desire for attention.

COLD Front

[edit]

COLD Front, the activist arm of the Comprised Of League of Defense, is comprised of those Wikipedia editors who are not willing to sit idly by while these needless edits are made.

Media coverage

[edit]

None. Why would anyone care, either way? And if anyone is removing (or adding) "comprised of" to get media coverage, that only makes it worse. Interview requests will be ignored.
