Hi SusunW - I've made a few changes that seemed obvious, but have a few comments/questions which I'd like your thoughts on before making a change.
The last sentence of the lead doesn't quite make sense to me - I can't make out what the subject of the main clause is. Should it read 'Though it is not synonymous with citizenship, for rights granted under domestic law for domestic purposes, the United Kingdom, and thus the commonwealth, hashave traditionally used the words interchangeably.'? (This is assuming that 'the United Kingdom and the commonwealth' are the subjects, so I've pluralised 'have').
Yes, that's good.
In the bullet point 'By affiliation' list, both of the last bullet points end in full stops (periods). Should the penultimate one not have a semi-colon (and possibly an 'or' after it) instead?
Yes, it should have been as you say.
I'm not a great fan of this sentence: Denaturalisation may occur if a person obtained nationality through fraud, false representation, or concealment; acts of treason; disloyalty or service to a foreign government; certain criminal offences; loss of nationality of a spouse or parent; and in the case of nationality by investment for failure to meet requirements of the program. I feel that each snippet between the semi-colons ought to have a verb, since the verb prior to the semi-colons (obtained) doesn't seem to apply to these other bits. I'd probably have written it something like 'Denaturalisation may occur if a person obtained nationality through fraud, false representation, or concealment; if they have committed acts of treason; if they have committed acts of disloyalty or service to a foreign government; if they are found guilty of certain criminal offences; if their spouse or parent loses their nationality; and in the case of nationality by investment for failure to meet requirements of the program.' It might be possible to fix this more elegantly by changing the beginning of the sentence though.
Works for me.
when England acquired the island - I haven't checked the sources, but this is post-union - wouldn't it have been the United Kingdom that acquired the island? (Chippy Scot speaking here! :P)
I'm happy to do that.
That's all from me - I'll take a look at the other one later on. Great article by the way, and very important - you put me feel quite self-indulgent in writing about obscure buildings that happen to interest me when there are subjects like this wanting articles!

Thank you so much Girth Summit. These will be similar corrections in the next one (as well as all of the British origin ones), so just do it if you would. I'm sort of working through them by colonizer because it makes it easier to 1) not have to flip between multiple languages (except that I still must in the Caribbean, LOL) and 2) understand the overall scheme. In the event that the topic isn't clear, I am working on a piece on women's nationality, but it is impossible (for me) to write without understanding the context of the history behind it. Most people do not know that women had no individual nationality, some still don't, until the 20th century, so it seemed important to me that it not be tucked away in a separate article, but instead visible within the individual articles dealing with the topic. I really appreciate your help. I think I am now at 26 done and only 167 to go before I have the background finished and can write the main article. o.O SusunW (talk) 14:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
