This subject is featured in the Outline of England, which is incomplete and needs further development.
The issue whether England is a country or not has been repeatedly raised.
The outcome of discussion is that England is a country. This has been confirmed in formal mediation with respect to Wales, though the general issues are common amongst England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, realise, defence, artefact), and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English.

Why are Irish listed under Other in the Ethnicity Box? I always thought the Irish were white? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MairiC (talk • contribs) 12:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

If Parliament (and Buckingham Place) is in the city of Westminster, surely it is capital de facto. London would be its county and the city of London is capital de jure. This would also be the case with the UK. Why is this not on here in the infobox? Chocolateediter (talk) 22:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Because we go with the WP:COMMONNAME and nobody actually calls it that, ever. Britmax (talk) 22:37, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Because this and other sources state so. That is what de jure is for, an entity which is most known while de facto is fact. Westminster is official/de facto. An encyclopaedia needs to state fact otherwise every time a person who looks would get an impression it is all London, which it isn't the name is used for its long history. WP:Commonname is article titles not infoboxes so that's helpful isn't, find a bit about it that I missed or point me to another wikiguide. Chocolateediter (talk) 23:17, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Never mind 1900 saw the old city status (I guess the capital title) to pass to London. A bit of text on the article might be good since Westminster has been the capital for centuries until 1900. Chocolateediter (talk) 00:38, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Might be an idea, yes. Britmax (talk) 11:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Has anyone thought about adding the British Prime Minister to the Infobox below Parliament of the UK? I just find it strange that it's not there already! The office is the head of the central government of a sovereign state that England is part of, so why not add it? What's everyone views on this? Ciaran.london (talk) 23:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
