An unresolved ambiguity[edit]

Article has "the launch on the English Wikipedia being delayed". But, to the naive reader, the meaning of that is liable to be misunderstood. Does "English" mean "belonging to the part of Great Britain which is neither Scotland nor Wales", or is it an uneducated Americanism (and possibly Germanism) referring to either GB or UK, or does it mean "those offshore parts of NW Europe having allegiance to the person who is the monarch of the UK (some of which parts are not in the UK), ... ; or does it refer to the language originated in England but now the mother tongue of many who are certainly not English? If it means what I think it means, it should be "... English-language" ...". 94.30.84.71 (talk) 21:02, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've change it to "English-language" -- John of Reading (talk) 03:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
