Change British Isles to Atlantic Archipelago. The term 'British Isles' is heavily outdated and is not the official name for the islands, it is not even used by the Government. Crafferty1119 (talk) 11:19, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want made. {{GearsDatapack|talk|contribs}} 11:36, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
It also says on the wikipedia page itself.
If you also look at the Good Friday Agreement, both the Irish and British Government refer to the islands as 'These Isles' ~2026-83632-5 (talk) 11:43, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
