Please be consistent in labelling in "New Free Historical Records on FamilySearch"

In spite of numerous requests, I see that the practice persists of including some new / additional records for places in England under the "United Kingdom" heading.

The "United Kingdom" records should include just those that apply to more than one of the countries within the U.K., otherwise, please keep them under England, Scotland, etc.

This month's Blog item (at https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/new-records-25-april-2022) provides good examples. For some reason, only the Lincolnshire Marriage Licence collection appears under the United Kingdom heading. The other new/revised collections relating to English counties appear (correctly) under the England heading.

However, the "Prisoners of War 1715-1947" collection should be shown as a United Kingdom collection - well, if it does include records relating to English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish individuals.

Could someone please pass this matter to whoever is responsible for categorising these records in the monthly Blog item, so we can have some consistency?
