Talk:List of United Kingdom–related topics

message: *Edited the Jedi link.
On one hand, we agreed that the link should be "Jedi census phenomenon'", because 'movement' sounds too unified, where it's mostly considered a joke. However, what the article said about Jedi not being a religion in 2001 was unnecessary. There are people that legitimately claim to be Jedi and though I'm not one of them, I've known several personally, and it's not entirely a joke. So, while I think it's important the census should be mostly attributed to a prank, you shouldn't claim or imply "it's not a religion." Even saying "it's not an official religion" isn't necessary, as the Jedi phenomenon link says that as well, and stating Jedi (DONT WORRIE, NOT A RELIGION!!!) seems rather tawdry, as if you're trying to ensure that people with "real" religions reading it aren't going to be offended.
Oh, one thing, though. Someone'll have to check the source on this, but I believe the Census said "Jedi Knight", though I'm not sure what they include, whether it's "Jedi Knight", or just "Jedi", all as one group. Nathyn 10:03, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

text: The original name of this page was not UK Topics. UK Topics was created as a redirect in July of 2003. The page was first created as Wikipedia:WikiProject UK on 19 Jun 2002 and was then cut and paste moved the same day to United Kingdom/Basic Topics. On 10 May 2003 [] I made this a redirect to a page I had created in April at List of United Kingdom topics when I was unaware of the existence of a similar page. I have no desire to continue this dispute but to my ear "List of XXX-related topics" sounds awful. Mintguy

We really should get round to having pages on each parliamentary constituency current and former. http://www.leighrayment.com has a pretty comprehensive list, if someone wants to do the leg work. Mintguy (T) 17:31, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Non-British people should note that The 1707 Act Of Union and two subsequent Acts made the people of the U.K. one nation, but that is not allowed to be listed on The Wikipedia due to the political views of the people that control it.WikiUser 21:50, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest referring to our excellent articles on nation and state.  If you are familiar with them, or with any general text in political science, I think you will agree that England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland qualify as "nations" if not sovereign states. At the very least, there is a solid argument in favor of considering them nations which has nothing to do with politics or race.  Jwrosenzweig 21:53, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest you refer to reality and the law and history of my country which my father fought for in the war. The U.K. Also you've got a nerve trying to "answer" me at all considering your targetting me for gratuitous abuse when I joined The Wikipidia. There's no "argument" involved. It's the law and fact, same as the U.S. ain't still called a French colony, and a British colony etc.WikiUser 18:58, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Note for non-British visitors to article page

message: I have started making entries for magazines and notices we don't have a 'UK magazine' category. Would making one be an idea?

Sounds good to me, but I'm only an occasional visitor to this page. Any others for a consensus? Berek 13:11, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: UK magazine category?

message: note that 'sea areas' are the divisions that are famously read out on the Shipping Forecast, so i've renamed the section to 'coastal areas', and included a link for the actual sea areas (also known as 'weather areas'). sheridan 11:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Object - proposed deletion not discussed in advance on talk page. Considerable work has gone into building the page, so opportunity for improvement should be given. Categories are not the same as lists. May now be obsolete, but let's discuss it at greater length first. --mervyn 19:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Pending discussion, I removed the deletion notice which read:
{{dated prod|concern = Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of topics by country and region. Consensus reached in similar cases, ex. Portal_talk:Poland/Poland-related_Wikipedia_notice_board/Archive_8#Wikipedia:List_of_Poland-related_topics,   and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Brazil-related topics. Not updated and obsoleted by categories.

thread_title:  Proposed deletion 

message: I object to the merge, because the List of basic United Kingdom topics was designed specifically for the set of country lists at Lists of basic topics, and it matches the country lists there in coverage and format.  Its planned scope is limited compared to that of the List of United Kingdom-related topics, which may grow to be comprehensive.   Also, links that are not part of the set are routinely removed from the main basic topics page, and so merging the List of basic United Kingdom topics would effectively remove it (it would no longer be basic), which would create a gap in coverage in the basic topics subsystem of Wikipedia's contents system.  ;)  The Transhumanist  08:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
