`  ::::I see that this debate has in any case been pre-empted by User:Kotniski who has created and populated the ``:Category:Constituent countries of the United Kingdom``. In my opinion this is unacceptable as  :::::1) the debate is still in progress, indeed it has barely begun, and :::::2) the new category name has the rejected term ``constituent countries`` and is therefore contrary to a decision reached after a long discussion and contradicts the main article's name (Countries of the United Kingdom) and the term found in most other relevant articles.  ::::Personally, I don't see why Wales et al should not be categoried as 'European countries'. I am certainly against this unilateral reversion to a contentious and rarely used term that has been rejected here. This new category is not acceptable and a consensus decision would also be needed for the proper and logical alternative, i.e. 'Countries of the United Kingdom', if the need for it is proven and accepted.   `
