Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from National Registration Act 1939 into British passport. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 12:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 9[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited British ensign, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Canton. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:29, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Victoria Government Gazette for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Victoria Government Gazette is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Victoria Government Gazette until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. // Timothy :: talk 19:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my apologies for not leaving this note sooner. I was the editor that nominated the article for deletion. I genuinely hope you don't find this discouraging, although I know from experience this is hard to do. Please contribute to the discussion on the nomination page. It's certainly possible it will not be deleted if you make a good case and others agree with you; I'm completely open to changing my mind if you convince me. Writing an article can be very difficult if you're new to Wikipedia and it often takes some time and experience before success. Although I don't believe the article is on a notable topic, I do think it was well written and hope you continue to contribute. If you believe you can find more sources to provide evidence of WP:N notability, I'd be happy to request the article be moved to your draft space so you can continue to work on it; alternatively, you can post the sources on the nomination page or add them to the article for others to consider. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know and I genuinely do hope you're not discouraged. Best wishes, // Timothy :: talk 02:13, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Jersey passport does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Vehicle registration plates of the United Kingdom[edit]

Hi,

On the recent edit reverting of Vehicle registration plates of the United Kingdom. I believe the vertically displayed flag is shown on BNMA's website:

https://www.bnma.org/

The image can also be accessed here:

https://www.bnma.org/data/News_Images/GBUnionflagsimage611x405.png

Thanks!

--Fourthbus Talk 15:50, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While that may be the case for that website, the convention is for the flag to be displayed horizontally and I am unaware of any other depiction of post-Brexit number plates displaying the flag vertically.

Additionally, all other depictions of the plate with flag have been horizontally, notably by the Transport Secretary (https://twitter.com/grantshapps/status/1344686127341596672?s=20).

Given the overwhelming tendency for the flag, like all flags in UK number plates, to be displayed horizontally, I think it is best to keep the plate images with the horizontal depiction of the flag paramount on the Vehicle registration plates of the United Kingdom page.

Hope that clears things up :)

Proposed deletion of Night of the Long Scapegoats[edit]

The article Night of the Long Scapegoats has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Hypothetical event. Even if this event occurs, it is unlikely to meet notability requirements - WP:N. We can't document every change of officials in the private offices of every head of government. If it does occur, and is notable, this is unlikely to be the appropriate title for it, and might be considered a biased interpretation.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm KyleJoan. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Matthew Goode in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. KyleJoan^talk 12:32, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes I do disagree with your edit reversion as I wasn’t acting in bad faith but correcting a genuine error.

I’ll update the edit description in future. ZElsb (talk) 13:12, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There was no error. You still have not explained why "British" should be used. Please adhere to WP:BRD and open a discussion on Talk:Matthew Goode (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs) to propose this change. Thanks. KyleJoan^talk 13:37, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The UK is the sovereign state in question, not England (which is not a state). The correct demonym is “British”, not “English”. In this regard, it is erroneous to use “English” as the appropriate demonym.

It’s also inconsistent to use sub-national demonyms when describing people from multi-layered states. For example, Jerry Seinfeld is described as “American”, nor “New Yorker”, Sir Robert Menzies as “Australian”, not “Victorian”, and Justin Trudeau as “Canadian”, not “Ottawan”.
