To change Queen references to King[edit]
This article still refers to the monarch as queen. I believe it can already be updated. 177.133.49.204 Marcelo Meirelesmsg
- @Marcelo Meireles: :The only uses of the word "Queen" which I can find are:
- in a quotation, which should not be changed MOS:QUOTATION;
- in a form of words #Precedence, privileges and form of address, parenthesised to show an alternative to "King";
- and in references, which should retain whatever wording is used in those references.
- Have you found other uses in the article? Bazza (talk) 13:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
Government coat of arms change[edit]
There has been some disagreement on this page as to whether the coat of arms should change to using the Tudor Crown. It has already been accepted that this is the case on most other articles relating to the British government, and I would direct people to take a look at the talk page for talk:Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom where this has already been discussed.
As for evidence, I would encourage people to look at the website for the College of Arms which states that "It is envisaged that the form of the Crown seen in the new cypher will be adopted as the form used in representations of the Royal Arms", also noting that "the new cypher and new rendering of the Crown will be introduced gradually".[1] The continued use of St Edward's Crown in some instances is therefore not evidence that the new crown has not been adopted. Furthermore, the Tudor crown has already appeared in recent letters patent[2] and in official invitations to the upcoming coronation[3]

- @DanielMichaelPerry: Which bit of the "D" in WP:BRD is causing you a problem? You ought to give a bit more time for people to read the extensive talk page you linked to above, digest what it says, then respond here before unilaterally imposing your preference. Bazza (talk) 16:05, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for linking this. Was not aware of this process.

The House of Lords once again has a former prime minister member[edit]
The last paragraph on the retirement honours states that no former prime minister is member of the house of lords as of this year. This is (or will very soon be, I'm unclear on the official timeline) no longer the case.

Start has Prime Minister of United Kingdom non-capitalized?[edit]
I'm not exactly sure but shouldn't this be capitalized? Or am I just illiterate? A-37Dragonfly (talk) 03:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, this should be capitalised as Prime Minister is a title. Recollect4741 (talk) 21:33, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- See MOS:JOB, it depends on whether it is being used to refer to the generic job or to a specific person. -- DeFacto (talk). 21:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank You for pointing that out, glad to be aware even if it is absurd. Recollect4741 (talk) 22:03, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think it might stay uncapitalized after reading MOS:JOB but im still not sure A-37Dragonfly (talk) 01:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
