Gray box at right can't possibly be accurate

[edit]

The gray box at right shows that Braverman has been the M.P. for her seat since 2015, while if you review Wikipedia's details on that seat you find that it didn't exist until 2024. I don't deny that she does hold office for that seat, but, obviously, before 2024, she held office for a DIFFERENT seat. I do not believe that Wikipedia is this bad with Representatives in the lower house of the U.S.A.'s Congress. I believe that it is possible to find a Representative whose chain of offices held will include Representative from/of the Xth District of some State, immediately followed or preceded by Representative from the Xth District of that State, because new Districts were drawn in that State and the name "Xth District" was used twice, once before the re-drawing of boundaries, and once afterward, with the desire to avoid any implication that the two Districts are the same one.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 22:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]

Change tenure as an MP to present

[edit]

This lists her being an MP as (2015 - 2024) it needs to say: (2015 - present). She didn't cease being an MP in 2024. Which is what the Wikipedia pages say on people who lost their seats in 2024. 2600:1700:8C30:1350:F85E:CD8A:A30F:D1F8 (talk) 20:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a misunderstanding here – the ‘2015-2024’ applies to the constituency of Fareham, which was abolished at the 2024 election. Braverman was elected to the new constituency of Fareham and Waterlooville at the 2024 election. So the infobox is correct. Sweet6970 (talk) 00:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Siyabonga Twala

[edit]

Please append to the paragraph concerning Siyabonga Twala "In June 2024 the exclusion order against Siyabonga Twala was finally withdrawn by the Home Office less than 24 hours before a judicial hearing was due to take place."

I have added the information, with a different wording to avoid any copyright problems. Thank you for this. Sweet6970 (talk) 16:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sweet6970, when dealing with edit requests in future, you can use the same text as the person requesting an edit, you just have to make sure to link to the diff in which they made the edit request to show you are making the edit on their behalf. Then, the edit request can be marked as answered so other people reviewing Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests know it's complete. Thanks! --Ferien (talk) 00:21, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm assuming that the copyright issue here was that the original suggested text was arguably too close to that in the BBC source. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 08:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, JAJ, you are correct.
@Ferien: The wording suggested by the IP was copied from the source, so I changed it to avoid breaching the source’s copyright.
Sorry you were troubled – I couldn’t see any way to show that the edit request had been answered. Sweet6970 (talk) 12:18, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay, that makes sense. No worries. --Ferien (talk) 12:23, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Conservative Politicians

[edit]

What's the basis for the list of politicians in the info box? It includes some relatively minor figures like David Willets (or Braverman herself) but leaves out many leaders such as Ted Heath, Anthony Eden or Neville Chamberlain. Is it supposed to be just some random figures or is there a basis for selection? 46.31.205.228 (talk) 23:10, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or following that, does the box even belong here? It says this article is part of a series on Conservatism in the United Kingdom but is it? Rishi Sunak's article doesn't say that nor does Boris Johnson's or Margaret Thatcher's. I haven't been exhaustive in checking every other Conservative politician but I haven't seen any it is on. Why is this article in particular part of a series about Conservatism in the United Kingdom, which I guess is different to just being about a UK Conservative politician? 46.31.205.228 (talk) 02:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That question is better asked at Template talk:Conservatism UK. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 06:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category for Landlord MPs

[edit]

{{yo|Jonathan Deamer}} I see you have added a category Category:Landlord members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia to this article, and to many others. I have deleted it, as there is no source for this in the article. What is your source for this information? ~~~~ Sweet6970 (talk) 14:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
