I'll take a look. Nova Crystallis  (Talk)  06:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)


 * "Nationals of this class are subject to immigration controls when entering the United Kingdom and do not have the automatic right to live or work there." That was implied in the sentence before this, right?
 * Merged those two sentences to be a bit more concise.


 * The British Nationality Act 1981 should be mentioned in the prose in the background section.
 * Added.


 * How many people still hold this nationality?
 * I've tried to look for this information, but it seems like the British government doesn't actually keep track of this. The closest I could get was the number of currently valid BOC passports, which is around 12,000. Not really sure how useful this number is, since there's potentially many many more BOCs who possess certificates of registration, are not aware of their BOC status, or simply just don't exercise their passport rights.
 * I think this is a good number to add. Nova Crystallis   (Talk)  02:14, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Not much to fix, actually. Nova Crystallis  (Talk)  02:44, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The first two comments were taken care of, but would appreciate your feedback again on the last point. Thanks, Horserice (talk) 07:24, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Adding one more. "Statelessness was generally resolved for individuals who were solely BOCs in 2002 after they were allowed to register as British citizens." Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 should be mentioned before this sentence. Nova Crystallis   (Talk)  02:14, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, addressed those two points. Horserice (talk) 20:06, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
