The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. While a majority opposed the move they did not dispute that British English applies to this article, and so the supporters have the stronger argument through
MOS:POINTS. (

Oppose - not convinced by the argument made, is 'Jr' a British spelling opposed to 'Jr.'???
GiantSnowman 19:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Oppose no actual evidence that Jr is a "British spelling" rather than Jr. And nothing in
MOS:JR to say this either, so either Jr or Jr. is perfectly fine, but we don't need to change it.

In fact, Cambridge dictionary actually says that Jnr. is the "British version", not Jr:
[1].

Contractions that do not contain an apostrophe almost always take a period in North American English, but not in British English when the contraction ends with the same letter as the full term: Doctor can be abbreviated Dr. in American and Canadian English, but is Dr in British English.
Oppose since Jr. is shortened for Junior - even though many different websites, along with the two listed in the nom, list this name towards your proposed location of this article.

Support per
MOS:POINTS, which is clear on the subject.

Comment – With the RM having been relisted, I'm hoping the discussion can address the
central consensus, recorded at
MOS:POINTS, that the omission of a period in a contraction is the standard form in British English. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to have been considered when the previous comments were made (and I regret that I didn't join the discussion until after a week had already gone by!).
