Talk:Mary Gillham

English > British
I have switched to British. Generally 'nationality' is the citizenship of the subject. This however gets complicated when it comes to the UK. The general consensus that has evolved over time is that where someone has a strong associated identity with one of the component nations (Scotland, N.Ireland, Wales, England) that is what is used as their nationality. So Sean Connery is a Scottish actor, Shirley Bassey is a Welsh singer, David Lloyd George is a Welsh politician (despite being born in England) and so on. Where there is no strong association, the nationality most often defaults to citizenship. In Mary's case she has no strong association with England, living and working substantially in Wales. While it is unlikely she would be described as Welsh, absent anything tying her specifically to England or a self-declaration from her somewhere she preferred to be English, her nationality should be British. This is quite common for English biographies, as English notables do not make a big an issue out of their nationality. (The other minor issue is that when linking internally, do not link to disambiguation pages as by their existance they are there to direct you somewhere else. If you know the exact article, link straight to that.) Only in death does duty end (talk) 13:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Help
Only in Death, I have been updating the Mary Gillham page and am wondering if you could have a quick look at it to see if I'm making any errors? It would be a big help! I am having issues with the 'International travels' section... When I press 'enter' on the keyboard twice to begin a new paragraph, it is not working. The text is just continuing on from the sentence before it. For the time being I've been putting " " (without the spaces) to get the text on the line underneath, but it doesn't look right, the writing is too close together...

Thanks, Natchristie (talk) 15:26, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That is odd. I will take a look. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:04, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like it was the close blockquote tag in the text that was causing it. I think it might have been a function of the visual editor maybe? I have removed the br and blockquote tags and it appears to be displaying correctly now. If it keeps happening, just go ahead and ping me when you are finished and I will go back over it.
