- I do oppose the British Isles categories (also after having checked a number of articles in the English category), i.e. renaming these will imply that exhibition centres no longer belong in the category, so that needs full discussion. (Note that a conference is not a unique British English word, it is also used in American English. But a convention in American English can be much broader.)
