The result of the move request was: moved. While a majority opposed the move they did not dispute that British English applies to this article, and so the supporters have the stronger argument through MOS:POINTS. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 02:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply


Charles Sagoe Jr.Charles Sagoe Jr – British subject, so British spelling. His parent club (Arsenal) and his loan club (Swansea City) also list him this way.

In fact, Cambridge dictionary actually says that Jnr. is the "British version", not Jr: [1]. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I assume they're referring to MOS:POINTS:

Contractions that do not contain an apostrophe almost always take a period in North American English, but not in British English when the contraction ends with the same letter as the full term: Doctor can be abbreviated Dr. in American and Canadian English, but is Dr in British English.
