Roads in the United Kingdom
You'll need to revert all the that you added to individual road articles. If a road is in England, and is tagged with, then automatically it is nested in the larger category - there is no need to do both. Also, it is misleading: road numbers are multiply used in the UK (e.g. A1 from London to Edinburgh, A1 from Belfast to Irish border near Newry, A1 on the Isle of Man). --Red King 08:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand - some of the English roads pages on Wikipedia are tagged only as 'Roads in England' and not 'Roads in the United Kingdom', whereas other English roads are tagged solely as 'Roads in the United Kingdom' and not as 'Roads in England'. I don't see the problem of adding roads to two road categories - certainly other contributors have done the same. I find it useful to see all the UK roads pages together in one category, in addition to them being in a smaller category such as 'Roads in the England' or 'Roads in Wales'. It is not confusing, since the page on the London to Edinburgh A1 is called 'A1 road', and the one in Northern Ireland is called 'A1 road (Northern Ireland)' - they are clearly distinct. It would be pointless undoing my edits unless all English roads pages are put together in one category - rather than being split between 'Roads in the United Kingdom' and 'Roads in England' which is really confusing. It would perhaps be helpful to have all English road pages in both categories (Roads in England and Roads in the United Kingdom). As well as this, you say roads tagged as 'Roads in England' automatically appear in 'Roads in the United Kingdom' - this is not true (for instance the A62 road is tagged with only 'Roads in England' and does not appear in the category 'Roads in the United Kingdom').

Hi,

MOS consensus is that names should be given a generic English pronunciation, and also a local pronunciation where this is useful, as for example now at Carlisle, Cumbria. For example, New York is transcribed /nju: jork/, despite the fact that locals don't pronounce it that way; the local pronunciations come next, since presumably locals don't need that info. It's not always clear when a local pronunciation is divergent enough to warrant inclusion, but unless it's really trivial or starts getting cluttered, no-one's likely to argue with you. kwami (talk) 22:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
