infobox add 'Deputy' tag to David Lidington 176.24.32.204 (talk) 15:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Added, thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:51, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Martinevans123: Assuming good faith, but why did you do this change? David Lidington is not the deputy. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:03, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I didn't do it as a prank. I did this change because his article says quite plainly that he is "de facto Deputy Prime Minister". If there is good reason why this doesn't count, then please could you revert and explain here? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note that consensus on another article Talk:Prime Minister of the United Kingdom#Prime Minister's Deputy was that she does not have a "Deputy Prime Minister". MilborneOne (talk) 16:15, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks for the link. I now see there is another discussion at David Lidington#De facto deputy prime minister. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:20, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That was added by a now blocked account. I attempted a discussion at Talk:David Lidington#De facto deputy prime minister, but they reverted back to there version. One writers opinion of Lidington does not mean he is the de facto DPM. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:22, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked a number of sockpuppets of, probably, User:Thepoliticsexpert, who are in favour of this change. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 16:24, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Add that Theresa May is a Christian ^[1] - seems kinda obvious but appears missing. CarcussCartel (talk) 09:37, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is already covered in the "Personal life" subsection. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 13:56, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox portrait

Why does the infobox portrait appear grainy/blurred on my device? Can this be fixed in any way? Uhooep (talk) 16:08, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration Policy Effects

The revision of my edit on the effect of May's "hostile" immigration policy appears to be an attempt to sanitize the entry. It is apparently OK to describe the name of the policy but not its effect. All my edit was referenced from reliable sources (well respected national British newspapers). Given the topic my thought is that this is a "whitewash". Wickifrank (talk) 16:48, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This was sourced reliably, but not written in a neutral tone. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 18:22, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So I seek input on what might be accepted as a "neutral tone". Perhaps "The policy led to illegal deportations and illegal exile of legal residents, illegal separation of families, illegal deprivation of income and health care for life threatening conditions, homelessness and destitution" If this is not neutral enough could alternatives be suggested.?Wickifrank (talk) 19:16, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
