Stubs
Please don't add stub tags to substantial articles, and remember that for a person there will always be a stub tag with "bio" (or some other stub tag which shows that it is a biography), which alerts people interested in biographies. So if Elizabeth Devick was a stub, it should be tagged England-bio-stub not England-stub, and if Toledo Cherokee was a stub it should be US-icehockey-team-stub not icehockey-stub. In the case of Edward Bashe where you added poli-stub a better stub would be politician-stub or UK-politician-stub or in fact, in this specialised area, England-pre1707-MP-stub. Thanks.
