Original:

• However, it could be argued that it would be impossible to popularize a winter-themed song, especially in the U.S., without its being regarded as a Christmas song.

Revision:

• However, it could be argued that it would be impossible to popularise a winter-themed song, especially in the U.S., without it’s being regarded as a “Christmas” song.

You took the correct spelling of the possessive form of "it" and changed it to the contraction of "it is" (i.e., changed it to a misspelling). DanwWiki2 17:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I wrote that under the mistaken impression that this might be someone going around making that change all over Wiki. That was before I read your bio. (Interesting -- I had a physics/math double major and studied Russian, and I'm 1/4 Welsh, but I graduated in 1973 and didn't absorb the Russian very well.)
