Hi, professional English style guides are not here telling you not to do things. Also stop instantly archiving your discussion page. Evil Tim (talk) 14:03, 17 February 2018 (EST)

Well again the US/USA thing isn't a big deal for me either way - But that said I'm not one of the ones who decides how articles are formatted and arranged, so that's that. I agree the constant archival is a bit annoying though, especially when one wants to continue discussions - I'd say at least wait a week or two if you do it at all (which as shown by my talk page and especially Tim's insanely long talk page (:P), isn't absolutely necessary).

Noted. If we're talking about the infobox, we should spell out the country's name rather than use abbreviations. Laqueesha (talk) 12:10, 18 February 2018 (EST)
Why should we do that? Evil Tim (talk) 12:39, 18 February 2018 (EST)
Looks more professional, less confusion, also we don't get debates like this over which abbreviation to use. Laqueesha (talk) 20:27, 20 February 2018 (EST)
Looks more professional to who? And confuse it for what, one of the other states called the USA that use the American flag? Evil Tim (talk) 21:19, 26 February 2018 (EST)
According to professional English style guides, as I said above. Laqueesha (talk) 22:57, 26 February 2018 (EST)
We don't care what those say. The Chicago Manual of Style is, in essence, documentation of a widely held set of opinions. It is not the law, and does not overrule site administration. Evil Tim (talk) 23:23, 26 February 2018 (EST)

You've done this again on the one X-Files page. You've also been doing it on other pages - If not removing the 'USA' then infinitesimally changing the flag image thumbnail size (and do tell what professional style guide says you must change a picture thumbnail 2 pixels in size?). Anyway, pretty sure I'm reading right here that you were told by one of those who administrates the site to stop doing that. StanTheMan (talk) 01:03, 17 June 2018 (EDT)
