Accolades and honours
@DrKay and Johnbod: could you check this edit? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:03, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Pedantic silliness that renders the text unidiomatic and awkward. DrKay (talk) 17:08, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. Johnbod (talk) 17:20, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know how to address it ... non-Brit! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
FAQ not being followed
The FAQ on this page tells editors to call her British, not English or Scottish. "Current consensus is that she is British, and that whether she is also English, Scottish or Welsh has no bearing on her work or her biography, and is best not discussed." Yet the article is in "English" people categories.
This means the FAQ are not being followed. Either the categories should be changed to British, or the FAQ should be changed. Kk.urban (talk) 07:14, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
