Nationality
You do know English counts as a nationality right. See MOS:NATIONALITY. It says there is no categorical preference between describing a person as British rather than as English, Scottish, or Welsh. Decisions on which label to use should be determined through discussions and consensus. I see you are changing many biographies to say "British rather than "English" per guidelines, but the actual guidelines don't say that, just to let you know.

 * Hi, which page are you talking about? TriplethreatX (talk) 04:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * For many people such as Michael Bisping, Christopher Lee, etc, you changed their Nationality from "English" to "British". What I'm saying is that you don't have to do that because "English" counts as a nationality per what I said above. Creatorial (talk) 04:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Both sources cited on the Michael Bisping page refer to him as the “first British fighter to win a UFC title”, not the first English fighter to win a UFC title. TriplethreatX (talk) 04:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I simply added what’s in both sources, according to The Independent and The Guardian. 👍 TriplethreatX (talk) 04:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes I see that, but what I meant is you do not have to do that for him and other people listed as "English". Creatorial (talk) 04:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You can keep it like that if you want, but for next time it is not required to change that. Thanks. Creatorial (talk) 04:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes I probably shouldn’t have done that with the others (I thought English according to Wikipedia referred to only the English race), but in the case of Michael Bisping, both sources refer to him as the “first British fighter to win a UFC title”. He’s therefore more notable as “British”. TriplethreatX (talk) 04:29, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually yes, I now believe you are correct for listing Bisping as "British", but for the others you changed just leave them as English. Thanks. Creatorial (talk) 04:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes I didn’t revert any of the edits of other users. 👍 TriplethreatX (talk) 04:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
