Anthems

Why are you changing "God Save the Queen" to "God Save the King" in various country articles. Have I missed the death or abdication of the Queen?-gadfium 23:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because The Anthem is called "God Save the King" and NOT "God Save the Queen" the anthem name does not change because of the Monarch, just the words.Ess-Jay 23:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That means then that our article God Save the Queen is inaccurate? Moriori 23:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Methinks we need some sources for this claim. The Ministry of Canadian Heritage clearly uses "God Save the Queen." --G2bambino 23:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My source would be [[1]] and the original naming of the Anthem as "God Save the King".Sammy Jay 23:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might be better discussing this at Talk:God Save the Queen, where you'll find people more knowledgable about the anthem than at the various country articles. I see at Talk:God_Save_the_Queen#New_Zealanders_sing_God_Save_the_Queen_in_English_but_not_Maori.3F the claim that the New Zealand Gazette says

'that the National Anthems of New Zealand shall be the traditional anthem 'God Save The Queen' and the poem 'God Defend New Zealand', written by Thomas Bracken, as set to music by John Joseph Woods, both being of equal status as national anthems appropriate to the occasion'

If this is correct, and not since rescinded, then the one of the national anthems of New Zealand is GSTQ, regardless of what the correct title of the anthem in other countries may be.-gadfium 00:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the individual nations, New Zealand, Canada...etc have officially changed the name to "God Save the Queen" and there is evidence for that, I will accept the individual nations having a different name. The official name for the song in the United Kingdom however still remains "God save the King"as stated by the Government site [[2]]

The evidence for NZ: The source quoted in New Zealand is [3]. A more detailed history of the national anthems is on the following page of the Ministry of Culture and Heritage website, [4] (the last paragraph quotes the New Zealand Gazette).-gadfium 01:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I shall study deeper on that issue, and not effect other Commonwealth nation sites. However the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and all Dependencies still maintain the "God Save the King" anthem rather than "God save the Queen" Sammy Jay 01:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're asserting this based on one website, which actually speaks specifically about the national anthem of the UK, not the royal anthem. This issue needs deeper exploration. --G2bambino 15:05, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
