Not sure these two have become all that popular:

Not sure this is any sort of definitive recording:

Capitalisation of "internet"

[edit]

A small issue, but hey, let's discuss. An IP editor has changed "internet" to "Internet" with the (factually wrong) edit summary "always capitalized". I undid that, relying on MOS:CAPS, to which the response was a re-revert, now referring to usage in the Internet article and Talk:Internet#Capitalisation which says nothing. This is evidently a somewhat contentious issue, with the November 2020 RFC being closed as no consensus. The IP editor has not followed WP:BRD, but I don't agree with changing the long-term usage on this page absent consensus to do so, and am bringing it here for wider discussion.

Historically there's been no consensus for capitalizing either way, so I would revert per WP:STATUSQUO; the change isn't required. (psst: capitalizing "internet" is dumb anyway.) Popcornfud (talk) 14:06, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References gone wild

[edit]

"Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1 at line 1392: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)." What? Artaxerxes (talk) 13:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK now. Probably a central script got messed up momentarily. Cnbrb (talk) 14:39, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Phillipines

[edit]

To this point the article has highlighted notable anglophone countries. Do the Phillipines fit here? Artaxerxes (talk) 17:05, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Provided adequate sourcing and due weight, yes. (I was wondering who keeps adding Filipino-related content to a lot of these articles!) Obviously the UK/US (and to an extent Canadian and Australian) sourcing is more widely accessible given this IS the English Wikipedia but as long as the content follows standard guidelines, I'd say Wikipedia actively encourages its addition.
