Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Foreign relations of the United Kingdom into Barbados–United Kingdom relations. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 05:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UK diplomatic relations

Hi. I've noticed your edits at the table at Foreign relations of the United Kingdom and I think there's a misunderstanding with the dates. In many cases, (especially with former British territories) the first British ambassador/high commissioner presented their credentials on the same day that the receiving country gained independence - for example the British ambassador to Timor-Leste on 20 May 2002 (day the country gained independence). This is when diplomatic relations begins and for me this is under Common sense is not original research. I hope we can sort this out and thank you for your sizeable work on the page. Semsûrî (talk) 18:07, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I previously believed this, however multiple examples of dates (such as with Afghanistan, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Israel, Thailand, etc) were incorrect when compared to a source that states the date of establishing diplomatic relations. The date of the presentation of the appointment of an ambassador or opening of an embassy are rarely the same as the date denoted to diplomatic relations. Therefore, the source must specify state when diplomatic relations were established. However thank you for fixing Cambodia, that was an error on my behalf.
