Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to One Nation Conservatives (caucus), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Copying licensed material requires attribution
[edit]Hi. I see in a recent addition to Department for Education you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 12:46, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Diannaa: Thanks, I'll keep this in mind. --Turbo174 (talk) 16:08, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Please stop changing British to English
[edit]The country is UK or British and when you are combining terms they should be on equal footing. You don't say Swedish-Californian. Keep the terms equal or bring it to the article or biography talk page to gain consensus. thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:57, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Fyunck(click): then how come people like Craig Ferguson, Alan Cumming and John Barrowman are described as Scottish-American? --Turbo174 (talk) 09:16, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- I can't tell you how thousands of other pages might be done. They are incorrect in my book and from what I understand of wikipedia. Perhaps there are more sources calling them as such? But unless you can show a bazillion sources to the contrary, it is usually linked as either British-American or also British and American. Where France, Sweden, and Spain are separate nations, England is not. Scotland is certainly more than an American state, but it is not on par with America to by hyphenated.

- @Fyunck(click): Oh ok, fair enough. There seems to be a lot of inconsistency across wikipedia on how this is done, but I understand what you're saying. Thanks --Turbo174 (talk) 09:54, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
