UK/Scotland

edit

Please discuss at the article talk pages before changing the flags from UK to Scotland; there has been a long-standing consensus not to do that, and there is one user who is blocked indefinitely for making these kinds of edits without discussing. If you have further questions, User:This flag once was red might have more information for you; just please remember to start a discussion at the article talk page before you change these parts. Thank you, —Politizer talk/contribs 15:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

One relevant policy is Do NOT enforce uniformity, or, put another way, just because other pages use one style DOES NOT mean that other pages have to follow that style. Decisions are made by consensus, on an article-by-article basis. I tend towards the view that informing the reader that Glasgow is in Scotland which is part of the United Kingdom is the most useful (to the reader) format and wonder why anyone would want to remove information from an article which would be of service to the reader?

I believe this stunning edit to the Russian Wikipedia and the associated edits to the corresponding article here on en.wiki are sufficient to label you as a suspected sock puppet of the indefinitely blocked troll, User:Nimbley6.

  Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kilmarnock. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The link was also incorrect  DDStretch  (talk) 23:20, 19 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
