On 12 June 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from GCE Advanced Level to A-Level. The result of the discussion was moved. |
On 13 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to A level. The result of the discussion was moved to A-level. |
Based on the more authoritative sources in this article (government websites, exam boards, etc.), the term 'A Level' should not be hyphenated. I have tried to move the page myself but have been unsuccessful, can anyone help me with this? PentagonPizza ( talk) 16:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to A-level. ( closed by non-admin page mover) CLYDE TALK TO ME/ STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 00:33, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
A-Level → A level – Removing the hyphen per common usage and moving to sentence case.

A Levelthe most common. Walt Yoder ( talk) 03:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
The last sentence in the A-level#Nepal sub-section begins with
In Nepali, students generally appear [...]
which is not correct. As shown by the quote
"People who live in Nepal, we call them Nepali,"
from https://www.sbs.com.au/language/nepali/en/article/youve-been-getting-our-name-wrong-says-nepals-foreign-minister/pp6bznae5 (Disclosure: that quote -- and that web page -- were both found via the S.R.P. ["search results page"] https://www.google.com/search?q=%2BNepali%2C+Nepal under "People also ask:" / "What do you call a person from Nepal?"), it is clear that either [a] the final letter of the word "Nepali" should be deleted, or else [b] the first word ("In") of that sentence, and the first comma of that sentence, should both be deleted.
I do not care which solution is chosen, but clearly the current version is not correct.
Any comments? Mike Schwartz ( talk) 04:58, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
