 :Kitty, you should read the prior Talk page posts, because your objections have been addressed (some of them repeatedly). The change isn't my personal opinion. Rather, I'm drawing the well-established policy on national varieties of English; and I addressed the four guidelines of the policy in the first comment here. You state that every person knows the word ""presents"" in the context of the host of a news program. That is incorrect. As I noted more than once above, Americans don't use the verb ""present"" to describe what a news anchor does. I didn't know the word was used in such a way until I started using Wikipedia. Americans may think someone who presents is the producer or a commercial sponsor. Either word might confuse some people. So the English variety settles the matter. American English is the proper variety. It was the first variety used and consistency should be maintained throughout the article. Melissa Lee is a U.S. citizen, born in New York state in the U.S. She resides in the U.S., works in the U.S., and is employed by a U.S. news channel. The article is considered a U.S. topic under the policy that uses the American variety of English. It is claimed that whether the word is a noun or a verb is significant. It's not. The articles that use anchor as a noun, also use it as a verb (e.g. Connie Chung) because they're from the same national variety of English. And presenter and present for news hosts are paired up in the same varieties of English. There is consensus across Wikipedia to use ""anchor"" in such situations. One relatively new IP editor stirred up the situation in this relatively obscure article. What happens here doesn't trump the community-wide consensus. If you don't like the result here, you ought to seek to change the WP:ENGVAR policy or change the policy for all anchor articles at WP:JOURN rather than imposing an idiosyncratic result on this one page. Calling me a liar, a bigot, and a cultural imperialist violates civility policy. Those are unfair and incorrect accusations. Please familiarize yourself on personal attacks. Talk about the article's content rather than insulting people. American English deserves to be treated consistently with other national varieties on English; it should not be relegated to an inferior position.   "
