Why just 2012?[edit]

Perhaps a less year-specific title might be in order, as the dispute is currently flaring up again, and according to news reports (CBS/BBC is where I saw this, I think) it (Scallop War or Wars) has been ongoing for 15 years or so. --Haruo (talk) 15:57, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations![edit]

This page is quite special in that its title is five words, all the same length.--2602:306:C531:7310:8915:D960:4A41:8F8D (talk) 03:19, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
