Hi, the recent edit you made to Tony Blair has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

 * Please don't continue to add the numbers to the Prime Ministers in this way. Firstly, you're breaking the link to the article Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - there is no article called (for example) 53rd Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, which is what you're changing it to in the case of Tony Blair.  Secondly, it adds no value to know how many Prime Ministers there were before them.  This field in the infobox is there to state which office the person held; the office is Prime Minister, not ##th Prime Minister (unlike in the USA where each president is numbered - that isn't done in the UK). Thanks. Waggers (talk) 21:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Pleas can you refrain from numbering British Prime Ministers as by convention they are not numbered. Thanks - Gallo glass  16:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Numbering of British Prime Ministers
I've removed the numbering from the infoboxes of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. British Prime Ministers aren't numbered like US Presidents for several boring reasons. Firstly, the term "Prime Minister" wasn't used until the early twentieth century, before then the office was called "First Lord of the Treasury", in fact to this day the Prime Minister still is the First Lord of the Treasury, that's what it says on No. 10's letterbox. Another thing is, the United Kingdom didn't exist until 1801, before then it was Great Britain, so technically Robert Walpole was the first Prime Minister of Great Britain and Henry Addington was the last Prime Minister of Great Britain and the first Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Also, there is a debate as to weather non-consecutive terms are counted twice, like the way the Americans count Grover Cleveland, the Downing Street website says Gordon Brown will be the 52nd person to walk through the doors of Downing Street as PM not the 75th. Then there is the issue of how many times Ramsay MacDonald is counted as the government changed part way through his second term but he remained as Prime Minister. Finally, it's just not a British tradition to count the number people who have held a particular office. - Gallo glass  16:41, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Sky News....
...have not confirmed Clegg as Deputy PM, please read to source.  raseaC talk to me 22:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of that now, thanks. It's taking me a bit of time to revert my changes, add refs and bring it to the attention of protecting admins. FWIW, the sky news article does call it speculation (not sure if that's been changed yet) so I'm going ahead and using the BBC as a source because it's more up to date and doesn't have a whiff of 'speculation'. Thanks,  raseaC talk to me 22:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not at all. This is the wort of problem you get with breaking news. I'm just glad I don't contribute on Wikinews!  raseaC talk to me 22:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Daybreaktitlecard1.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Daybreaktitlecard1.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
