Mariella Moon (20 March 2024). "Getty flags another British royal family photo for being digitally altered". Engadget. Retrieved 21 March 2024. The princess' absence from public events since Christmas last year has, as you might have expected, spawned all kinds of conspiracy theories. It even gave rise to a whole Wikipedia article entitled "Where is Kate?" because people around the world are apparently that invested in the British monarchy and can't quite believe that she'd undergone abdominal surgery.

Isn't "Catherine, Princess of Wales" the title of a divorced Princess?
I have been 'advised' to raise this topic here, as, apparently, my edits do not constitute improvement.
I believe that, in the same way that 'amount' v 'number' and 'less' v 'fewer' should be used for non-count and count nouns, respectively, 'over' v 'more than' falls into the same category. Of course, this has proved somewhat contentious, as the most trivial matters usually are, resulting in reverts for reasons such as 'Fowler's Modern English Usage notes that in British English, over has long been accepted with numbers, making it perfectly correct and often preferred'; however, I take Fowler to be one in a very long line of English usage analysts, whose stipulations ought not to be adopted as Wikipedia policy on a whim. Moreover, I should add that I have been thanked for doing this same change on other articles, suggesting that I am not the only one to have this view about the grammatical aspect.
I should be interested in hearing others' views on this, because I get the marked feeling that the reverts are more about retaining perceived ownership of an article rather than any real objection to the phrasing. ZeroAlpha87 (talk) 14:13, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to Cambridge,
Over means ‘more than’ a particular number, or limit. Example-There were over 100 people at the meeting.
