Nationality

[edit]

Andy Murray is a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He is not a citizen of Scotland sinve it is NOT a Nation. It is a part of the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcsammon (talkcontribs)

Scotland does NOT issue its own passports, and is a part of the UK and therefore by definition a British Citizen. You cannot hold a Scottish passport if technically Scotland cannot issue its own.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Scotland_has_its_own_government_but_why_can't_you_get_a_Scottish_passport
Don't care. Go read that page. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • As WP:UKNATIONALS points out, nationality is a fuzzy issue for Britons, especially if they're sportspeople. The essay also says to not edit war over the situation. I suggest you take your break to read over that essay and, if you still feel strongly about it, to discuss the matter on the talk page and see if there's consensus for the change, but to not change the article again. —C.Fred (talk) 03:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This has been discussed in the past at exhaustive length on the Andy Murray discussion page before. What is on the article is a compromise that is relatively stable and has consensus. Jcsammon's argument is not new and largely irrelevant, as WP:UKNATIONALS explains. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 08:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did to Andy Murray, without verifying it by citing a reliable source.

Your recent editing history at Andy Murray shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. ... discospinster talk 03:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since AIV responds quicker, consider that your 4th and final warning too. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Andy Murray. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  ... discospinster talk 03:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since when is correctly changing his citizenship a violation. The fact is he is a citizen of The United Kingdom. I shouldn't have to justify it to some YES voter who has in his mind a delusional thought that his country is better off without being part of THE UK.

Read what C.Fred patiently explained to you. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
