As am I. Surprised about a discussion going on far from the subject and those closest to it. Thanks for pointing this out and for posting the notification.
I only learned about the MOS issue because I was pinged, possibly because I was seen as a potential ally for one of the sides. Based on a comment I made several archives back that was misunderstood.
Oddly enough,
Randy Kryn, a significant contributor here, came upon the MOS issue by a different sort of happenstance. Only to be barraged for a spirited though innocent comment.

Allreet may already have determined the conversations result (
occurring here) by once again providing pivotal and detailed research, this time showing how the major scholars of the American Revolution case FF. May I suggest that he copy the major points of his research to this page as well, for the record and archives and to make it available for expansion and completness. Very impressive work, especially when presented in one place as Allreet has done.

WP:CANVASSing and inappropriate.

All major research about academia use of the terms and concept of this pages' topic, such as
Allreet undertook for that informal discussion (the discussion cannot, on its own and as far as I know, change the title of this page, for that an official RM on this page would be needed), should be listed in one place with possibly a talk page hatnote to "research". This talk page archive contains many such examples, and links to other pages which evolved from this page can also be listed in a central location, possibly a subpage to this article. That's the reasoning, to have a centralized access point to pertinent research such as Allreet has again provided.

I think you're overthinking this.

Academic research includes Wikipedia, and like all good research, centralized collections would give as full information as possible in easily accessed and known locations.

@
Gwillhickers and
Randy Kryn: Since this was a talk page discussion and not an rfc, I don't think we need a formal close. Most "dissenters" on FF capped have agreed the discussion has run its course and are willing to accept the status quo based on the rough consensus. It'd be good to keep an eye on the page to see if aome new commenters weigh in but that seems unlikely given the thoughts at the end. In short, let's let sleeping dogs lie.

Yes, now that you mention it, there is not one discussion on that MOS page that was 'closed' like an RfC is closed. It's not an article Talk page, but it seems it's a Talk page with just a discussion nonetheless. --
