Talk:King Ludwig Oak

Which English?
I have been impressed by all 's recent work here. I am in unconditional agreement with very roughly 93.76% of it, including some excellent and very necessary sorting-out of a few bits of not-quite-English. What I don't understand, and I may have simply missed the point, is why it has been tagged and converted to BrE. I had thought – well, I seem to remember thinking it (almost the same thing) – that I'd noticed it had started in AmE, and I'd decided to leave well alone. So why the BrE swap? And yes, I may have missed the memo or not noticed something which is staring me in the face, so please let me down gently if at all here. Best to all, DBaK (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2021 (UTC)


 * My bad. I probably shouldn't have tagged the article but "meter" got to me. (Even then, I missed some of them which I've now fixed.) Generally, my unscientific method is if the first word I come across that can be spelled Br/Amer then I tag the article based on the spelling used. That generally works well.

 * OK, well, I'm probably missing the point as I so often am but it looks to me as if the initial version was in AmE and there was still plenty of it up to 25 December, the last version before you started. So, to be honest, it does look a bit like a hijack from AmE into BrE. That said, I'm not sure that I have the stomach for a huge fight, so I will wish you a pleasant evening, or whatever it is in your time zone, and bid this farewell for now.

 * Update: I know I said I'd shut up and go away, and I promise that I shortly will, but I just wanted to add,, that if you're going for consistency there are still several AmE spellings that I am sure you will want to change. Cheers DBaK (talk) 22:47, 14 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Last word. I remember now having gone through the article looking for overlooked instances of AmE that I added the BrE tag when I came across "recognised" in the first sentence of the lede when I began my copy edit. Stay safe. Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:03, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
