Queen is/are

It seems people who change 'Queen is' to 'Queen are' never bother to change all the other "is"s to "are"s (or the other way around) in the article. I've come to the point where I really don't care anymore what form of English the article is written in, but I'd like to aim for consistency (my new favorite word when it comes to editing this article), so we should decide what we want it to be (is/are, finding their sound/finding its sound) and keep it that way. - Zone46 13:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should switch the article, Queen are from England where treating collective nouns as plurals is normal.— miketm - Queen WikiProject - 12:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, even though, to me, it sounds odd. I believe that the group should be treated as they would be treated in their own country, and Queen are British.Billvoltage 15:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
