Potential breakup of the United Kingdom

Just to let you know that I've gone ahead and published this page. I've ensured categories are listed, linked to from another page and added relevant templates at the bottom. Let me know if you think any improvements need to be made. ThanksTitus Gold (talk) 11:38, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

@Titus Gold, I personally didn't think it was ready, but accept it at least was satisfactory, and for two editors a lot of work. So I'll accept the move on the hopes other editors improve the article too. I do believe that the reasons for and against the break-up must be balanced though, i.e. more reasons against and equal detail to those for secession. Please do not add any navigation sidebars, i.e. the Template:Politics of the United Kingdom etc, not sure if they can fit into them as it is a hypothetical scenario. Many Thanks DankJae 11:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
That's fair enough. I agree it's not the finished article but I thought it merited publishing as I think it will get more attention and contributions from other users. Yes I agree, I will bear this in mind. Titus Gold (talk) 19:18, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Clarification request

At Pound sterling, you attached a {{citation needed}} to these two sentences: "Sterling" is the name of the currency as a whole while "pound sterling" and "penny sterling" are the units of account. This is analogous to the distinction between "renminbi" and "yuan" when discussing the official currency of the People's Republic of China. Could you clarify what exactly you think needs to be cited?

  1. "Sterling" is the name of the currency as a whole
  2. "pound sterling" and "penny sterling" are the units of account
  3. This is analogous to the distinction
  4. "renminbi" and "yuan" [...] the official currency of the People's Republic of China

Actually revert it for now, didn't know there was an active and recent discussion over the name, just noticed "pound sterling" was reduced to just "sterling". I guess this is new to me that the currency name was wrong for a long time. Sorry, Many Thanks. DankJae 23:30, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
