[edit] Your vote to keep
I'm a little confused with your assertions regarding your vote to keep the England specific infobox for places.
Many discussions and requests for comments and consensus have taken place.
Are these the only grounds with which you are voting to keep the England infobox? Because this reason appears to be redundant. You don't mention anything about the technical benefits or disbenefits this new infobox brings. Jhamez84 22:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- There are now only about ten England infoboxes transculded on Wikipedia. Five of which have been reinstated by a user who has already been temporarily blocked for edit warring and breach of WP:3RR because he feels it infringes upon his article space (very much against WP:OWN I might add).
- It is convention to only delete an infobox (assuming its not a silly one) once it is orphaned, hence why after consensus was agreed to create and use the UK version, posted to the home nation infobox talk pages, discussed and debated various options, trialed some to get initial feedback, posted to the major UK Wikiprojects and took on board several suggestions, that several editors (I was quite late actually) rolled out the UK version and we have now nominated the English one as redundant.
- I actually wrote the bulk of Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements - it's been dormant for quite some time, and just needs an update (thanks I hadn't noticed this). I did post to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_geography if you notice.
- We are required to be bold in updating pages, and I think this is an important milestone in improving article space.
- I just want to raise awareness that things have been (and still can be) negotiated with the UK infobox, and many parts of the various editting communities were contacted. Are you sure you do not want to reconsider? Jhamez84 00:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry, there are 18 transcluded England infoboxes - 7 of which are involved in edit warring, at the time of this time stamp! Jhamez84 01:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- OK. I just find it perplexing that you have voted to keep the England infobox on the grounds the new one has no consensus, though you have no objections to the new one and like it. Voting to delete this one would enable a consensus to be formed and we can get on with improving Wiki. Anyway, you've made it clear you are not interested in the issue further, so I must respect your decision. Though if you change your mind?.... Kindest regards however, Jhamez84 11:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
