Talk:His Majesty's Government (term)

message: See also Talk:Government of the United Kingdom for UK-specific items moved there.
I am just wondering if the article is correct when it says ", the term "His Wanka Government" was originally only used by the Imperial Government in London." is this correct or is it vandalism. (not trying to insult anyone or anything. 20:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: As mentioned by Instantnood at Talk:Government of the United Kingdom, Government of the United Kingdom is not a page actually describing the UK government.  Instead, it redirects here.  This page, in turn, only describes the term  "Her Majesty's Government".
I think Government of the United Kingdom or Her Majesty's Government should be changed into a page actually describing the government of the UK.  Another possibility is redirecting Government of the United Kingdom to Politics of the United Kingdom, but this is inferior, as politics and government are related but not the same thing.

replies: text: Agreed. I think that the term in most common usage in the real world (and thus the term Wikipedia should have the article at) is UK Government. That page ought to actually describe the government of the UK (ie. the one lead by Gordon Brown, headqueartered at 10 Downing St, and in charge of Whitehall). However, at Politics of the United Kingdom, we ought to describe the governance of the UK, which is not the same thing. --Mais oui! (talk) 06:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Inside the UK the term most often used is "the Government" as in "The Government's position ..." but any time that one has contact with the government at a formal level it is always Her Majesty's Government. eg Her Majesty's Government, Passport, and no-one's favourite HM Revenue and Customs, so under National varieties of English, the Government of the UK should be under this title. --PBS (talk) 09:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Really? The title of this page has always kind of bothered me. There are several queens in the world who have governments. It seems to me to be evidence of systemic bias that we have one of them here. But you don't need to take me that seriously; I've never brought this up before because I know proposing a change would elicit negative response. Dekimasuよ! 14:37, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the Royal Navy and the Royal Netherlands Navy, British sources are always going to make similar distinctions and this comes under  National varieties of English.  -- 15:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not really a question of spelling or grammar, which are covered under national varieties, but rather of maintaining a neutral point of view. I understand that this is the most common way to refer to the government described here. "President" is the most common way to refer to the President of the United States, and is also likely to be the most common use of the term overall when American sources are taken into account, but we'd never put the article on the U.S. president at President.

replies: text: There is nothing wrong with a systematic bias in favor of the English language.  Can you find evidence that the term "Her Majesty's Government" is ever used in English to refer to the Dutch or Danish government?  (Or, for that matter, the Canadian or Antiguan ones?) john k (talk) 04:54, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if this article should be called "Her Majesty's Government". The terms "His" and "Her" have been used throughout history, referring to the reigning monarch at the time. What will the article be called when Charles becomes King?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.36.83.101 (talk) 22:12, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: :Referring to the Her Majesty's Government redirect (to "British government") article, not the article Her Majesty's Government (term), 
"Her Majesty's Government" is informal language outside of the UK. Inside the UK its considered formal and proper no doubt, but its improper for non-British citizens to use this language, or to refer in a genuflecting way to the British or other monarch. Suggest delete, as this promotes improper usage, and the formal, "the British government" is preferred. Its the case that some good faith editors may agree to curtail this usage but are British subjects and not free to contradict state opinion, if so please recuse. -Inowen (talk) 05:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
