Hi,

I am Daniel, from Spain. I would like to change the name of the wiki 
pages related to the United Kingdom mapping project to remove the 
"Wikiproject" prefix according to the pages name conventions [1].

The name of the pages related to the United Kingdom mapping project 
would be "United Kingdom" (name of place) instead of "Wikiproject United 
Kingdom", as recommended by the wiki conventions. It is a change that I 
have already made in United States [2], Canada [3], Spain [4], Australia 
[5], New Zealand [6], South Africa [7], and all Spanish-speaking 
countries [8] on the Wiki. The pages of Israel, Denmark and Philippines 
have also been renamed.

Many pages of the UK mapping project have already been renamed. Only a 
few remain. I could make the necessary changes. All pages with 
"WikiProject" prefix will be redirected automatically. There will be no 
broken links in any case.  I'll make sure everything works correctly, 
just like now.

Do you like the idea? There was already a discussion in the wiki about 
this subject [9].

Thank you for you attention! Greetings from Spain.

Regards,
Daniel
