message: OK. I've done the dirty deed. Someone had to, I suppose. Ive requested a move of the article from admin. Ive also edited the article to reflect the vote. Seem to have ***ked up the map somehow- no idea how, maybe someone knows how to fix that.--Gazzster 03:46, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I disagree with this, however, lets just end this. I am a admin, so have moved the page, and   fixed the map. Brian | (Talk) 06:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ummm... 

message: As it has been seemingly established here that "Commonwealth realms" is the proper format, shall we now move on to alter British Empire to "British empire"?  It seems that "British Empire" was never an official title for the collection of territories, nor is "British empire" any more or less a proper noun than "Commonwealth realms." Surely the strictures of grammar and WP policy shouldn't apply only to this article. --G2bambino 15:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're welcome to try, but I suspect people will point out to you that "British Empire" refers to a specific entity rather than a class of entities.  Jonathan David Makepeace 22:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What makes the British Empire any more of an entity, or less a class of entities, than the Commonwealth Realms? --G2bambino 22:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you don't know the difference between a specific entity and a class of entities then you have no business claiming to know what should or should not be capitalized on Wikipedia.  Jonathan David Makepeace 23:18, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Thank you for your thoughtful reply. It's quite indiciative of your general attitude. A real class act. --G2bambino 23:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I just saw the "oldtimer"(lol...) map on British Empire, and the text on the top of the map is THE WORLD 1897 The British Possessions are coloured Red...It looks like a capitalization there...(btw...I'm just bringing up a point and I'm not really siding with anyone here...) nattang 16:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Move from Commonwealth Realms to Commonwealth realms to reflect a vote of 14 to 8 recently closed on the talk page.--Gazzster 03:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK, the poll *Starts* when you post the move request to WP:RM... So the poll should close on 30 August 2007. 132.205.44.5 21:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The move was requested on the 19th, and the standard notification says that it should be posted "a few days" before being acted upon.  Methinks that five days qualifies as "a few days."  Voting isn't normally part of the process, but it did give the administrator evidence of a consensus.

replies: text: There's a 'visiting' editor, who's continually 'moving the page' back to Commonwealth Realm. Hopefully he/she will discontinue his/her actions. So far 'Nat' is keeping him/her in check. GoodDay 23:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested Move

message: The article has been renamed. Now, I opposed this move, I opposed it then, as I do now, as I believe Realm is the correct caps; However, I chose to move this article to end this disorder.
I now challenge all those who have been fighting over this article, to do something damn useful and edit this article. Try and get this article, which you have all shown over the last month you care about up to Feature Article status. Lets us work together Brian | (Talk) 04:50, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
