Replacing "British subjects" with "British citizens"

Hi, I've noticed you've made a number of edits on different articles replacing "British subjects" with "British citizens". I believe only the former term is correct in the historical contexts in which they've been used (according to British nationality law § Terminology, though I admit I am not an expert). Regardless, several of these edits have erroneously changed the wording of quotes (e.g., here, here, and, most recently, here) which are certainly not acceptable targets for revision.

It is good that you are interested in helping to improve Wikipedia and I encourage you to continue editing but I also suggest you ensure you familiarise yourself with the citations associated with an article's content and provide new citations to justify your edits.
