[edit]

ScotlandEngland – As per COMMONNAME, all the Americans call the rest of the UK "England" so we better confirm that common usage. [April Fools!] The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:03, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nuke America under WP:NUKEIT instead of moving Scotland to England 08:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC) TheScottish801 (talk) 08:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reject per WP:55 to 45

Accept Lets reverse colonise :D Avi :D (talk) 10:11, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's "colonize", not "colonise". Communication here is absolutely impossible until we resolve the fundamental MOS:ENGVAR issue. Scotlander people already know about Scotland, so most readers must be non-Scotlanders, i.e. Americans, so clearly we should be using American English 🇺🇲. I urge the closer to reject this !vote unless its grammar is fixed. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 17:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
