Ethnicity

Hi. Please read the following guidelines before any further editing of the nationality of people in lead paragraphs. Thanks.

• Is birth place relevant to notability?
• Mentions of ethnicity in leads
• Guidelines on UK nationalities

As the guidelines suggest, UK nationality is complicated and you need to look at the context and previous consensus before deciding to change anything. This individual here, for instance, was born in Scotland when it was a separate nation, and was a general in the Scots Army. It is therefore entirely appropriate to call him Scottish, and your change was baseless. And changing anyone's nationality on the basis of the origins of their name is just ridiculous.

Trevor McDonald has a Scottish surname and a Welsh forename, so I guess that makes him Trinidadian-Welsh-Scottish then? Please stop this nonsense of changing nationality based on the subject's name. You also haven't read any of the links above, otherwise you wouldn't be demanding consistency across different articles. The nationality that Wikipedia describes someone by is based on where their notability lies, how they identify personally, the relationship to the different countries they have/had, and consensus. Changing them because you have a notion of some kind of bias and inconsistency is not going to get you what you want. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Joseph Lister shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Sir Charles Cayzer, 1st Baronet

Your edits on Sir Charles Cayzer, 1st Baronet were to change the nationality of a recipient of a heredity title awarded by the British crown, who was born in Britain, worked for British company, owned land in Scotland, was a member of a Scottish regiment in the British territorial army and a member of the UK parliament. Calling him British appears to be entirely accurate and I suspect your edit on the article had more to do with your continued campaign of changing nationalities, rather than any consideration to what is most appropriate for the article.
