Rhodesia
Rhodesia was never a Commonwealth Realm. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:09, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Gerard von Hebel, you’re absolutely correct, a country called Rhodesia has never legally existed.Frenchmalawi (talk) 04:31, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Map


I believe that the map for this article should show current Commonwealth Realms and their territories (shown in the latter map) instead of former realms and dominions that are now republics (shown in the former map). The current map excludes many former colonies which maintained the monarch up to a later period than former dominions, for example many former African colonies. I believe the map should only show the present realms, and I would welcome thoughts on this matter. AlloDoon (talk) 11:21, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * But the excluded colonies are colonies not independent states. I don't understand the rationale for removing all the independent states that were once realms or dominions. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:11, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Grenada
I don't believe Grenada uses the "United Kingdom" in its monarch's title/style, anymore - effective upon Charles III's accession. Thus for the moment, leaving Canada as the only non-UK realm continuing to use the "United Kingdom". GoodDay (talk) 15:43, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Regions discussion redux
Again, per Talk:Commonwealth realm/Archive 21, there was a clear consensus from the participants involved that the listing of regions was not necessary. To reiterate the participants' points, it adds "confusion", was a "pointless addition resulting in unnecessary debate [and] Adds nothing", and to reiterate my own arguments is a category that doesn't provide "any real context to the article topic itself (that is, what is a CR)" and is something that could be expounded on in the section's lead paragraph. The conversation afterwards was myself attempting to bridge this rationale to exclude population as well, but I was unsuccessful in swaying the participants there.

If you or anyone would like to reexplore this discussion, I would be more than happy to, but I believe the last discussion on the issue made it clear that there is an existing consensus among the page's editors not to include regions for now. Leventio (talk) 04:50, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Westminster system, prime minister (head of government), governor general (monarchy rep except UK), high commissioner (ambassador to the various governments
Recommend some or more text on Westminster system, prime minister (head(s) of government), governor general (monarchy rep except UK, basically chosen by the prime minister/government appointed by king), high commissioner (ambassador(s) between the various governments) be added the article to clarify how it works, and once added to the body a mention in the lead. Right now none of this seems to be explained except perhaps indirectly in some cases. Alanscottwalker (talk) 15:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
