@ Hebsen: I don't think the distinction between these two terms is quite as straightforward as you say. "Exit day" is fixed in law - and changed each time the Article 50 deadline changes - which it is currently set as 11 pm on 31 January 2020. "Brexit day", on the other-hand, has never been fixed, and is not tied to "Exit day". With the original Article 50 deadline of 29 March 2019, although "Exit day" was set in law as that date, "Brexit day" could not be predicted as it could have been earlier if an agreement was reached, or not at all if the UK revoked its intention to withdraw. Similarly under the extensions. Even today, although "Exit day" is set in law as 31 January 2020, the actual "Brexit day" still isn't certain as the Article 50 agreement has not yet been ratified by either the UK or the EU. -- DeFacto ( talk). 18:27, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
@ Qexigator: Thanks for adding a source to the material you've added, but it's far from clear to me that the BBC piece supports the specific claims made. Could you point to the specific part(s) of the source that supports these claims? Your other reference also doesn't seem to support the claims (nor, frankly, does it make any sense). – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 19:34, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Apparently there is such a term as Breturn (according to this from The Times. I mention this because the term was added to the article, but removed earlier today. I'd not heard of it either. This is Paul ( talk) 19:46, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
I see we are missing "Liechtenstein model" ( 1) and, more importantly, "WTO rules". Does anyone fancy having a go at these? It might also be worth defining "sovereignty" which is in the Brexit context is often a confusion of national sovereignty and parliamentary sovereignty. — Brigade Piron ( talk) 17:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
@ BrownHairedGirl: do you actually think the {{ wiktionary}} link to wikt:lexit ought to be at the bottom of this article (you moved it in this edit), rather than adjacent to the entry for the term, or is it just something AWB does automatically that you missed? If the former, why? It seems much more likely to be of use to the reader in section on the term, and much more likely to be missed elsewhere. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 12:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
