I prefer "USA" over "United States of America" or "US" because it's a lot shorter and still well known (and is also easier to search for than "US") and "UK" over "United Kingdom" for similar reasons. What about "The Netherlands"/"Netherlands"/"Holland"? "The Netherlands" seems to be the most common but there are quite a few with just "Netherlands". --[[User:Nikki|Nikki]] About the UK bit. The country UK includes a few countries its self. Should we then use UK (or United Kingdom) instead of England, N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales? --[[User:Sambalbij|Sambalbij]] |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Well, the releases list just uses United Kingdom. It'd be nice to be able to have a per-track recording info & I'd guess we'd end up using the same country list. From personal prefence (as an English Brit) I always use UK. --[[User:ZeroGravitas|ZeroGravitas]] As a Scottish Brit, I prefer UK too. --[[User:RodBegbie|RodBegbie]] About "The Netherlands"/"Netherlands"/"Holland": Holland is definitely wrong. It's a province, not the name of the country. I always use "The Netherlands", as it's plural (meaning 'the low lands'), and I think it's most commonly used. |
