United Kingdom[edit]
Hi. You appear to be reverting your addition of "United Kingdom" to a number of articles. Please don't do this. If your addition has been reverted with a valid reason, your next course of action should be to discuss it on the relevant talk pages. Simply re-inserting it is not helpful and edit warring. Thanks. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:08, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the support[edit]
Can I publicly thank you for the support on articles such as South Ayrshire during what seems to be a terrible troll encounter. It seems the user Simply the Truth is rather fixated on following me around Wikipedia and reverting every edit I make, even where it is the correct information with sourced evidence. Hopefully he/she will filter away shortly and hopefully be blocked. Goodreg3 (talk) 20:44, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries are permenent and other things with South Ayrshire[edit]
Be careful ascribing ideas which may turn out to be untrue. Claims of "considering only one user has a problem" may indicate you are unwilling to act in a collaborative and good faith way. The tags were not restored by myself the previous time that you removed them. This indicates wider community dissatisfaction with the use of primary sources in the article, than "just one user". Silence does not equal no support and nor does it equal support. Now I know you are trying to act in the best interests of Wikipedia but continuously making snipes in the way you are doing is not helping with the image you are giving off. The Image is of how dare someone challenge the sources put on the page. I know you are not going to go and say "add secondary sources, yourself. I added primary sources and they are fine add secondary sources if you hate the primary ones", or phrasing to that effect. That is though also not working in the spirit of Wikipedia. It is best to simply do it yourself, than to complain to other to do something. Not liking what someone has done, does not mean you can demand from them to do specific things, no matter how reasonable you believe yourself to be. I will get round to searching for some sources when I have more time, but in the meantime you can take the initiative and make some changes yourself which it looks like you are currently doing. Please though use a full template when updating sources. As for the discussion page; I suggest third opinion if you are unhappy with the level of community input. I am unlikely to comment on the talk page again, as I do not believe it to be constructive when it is simply the two of us on there. The discussions are not very fruitful and as a result I have disengaged from discussions at the present time on that talk page. Sport and politics (talk) 10:31, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
April 2018[edit]
Hello, I'm DrKay. I noticed that you recently removed content from Anglosphere without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

June 2018[edit]
Your recent editing history at Edinburgh Central (Scottish Parliament constituency) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited British diaspora, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British Canadians (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Lord Ashcroft[edit]
Yes, he is not a member of the BPC, but this is based on a technicality (he only does work for himself). He is still a reputable pollster, as he publishes full details, and often uses BPC members to conduct his fieldwork. Per the BPC: "This issue of who is regarded as responsible for a poll has arisen on a couple of occasions recently. One of the most active pollsters in recent years has, of course, been Lord Ashcroft, operating under the banner ‘Lord Ashcroft Polls’. Lord Ashcroft Polls does not have the ability to conduct its own fieldwork and thus sub-contracts this part of its polling to a number of companies, many of them BPC members. However, Lord Ashcroft Polls is responsible for the design, weighting and question wording of its polls, and thus it is the body that is ultimately responsible for its results. As it happens, Lord Ashcroft Polls is not a member of the BPC (and as an organisation that does not do work for multiple clients is not eligible to be a member), but as it happens it publishes full details of its polls in much the same way as a BPC member would be expected to do." Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:54, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
I also note that Ashcroft's polls are frequently included in other polling articles, such as the 2015 and 2017 UK general elections. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:04, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
I note that you have not responded to the points above. You are just removing sourced material which doesn't suit your point of view. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 08:08, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
