Your recent editing history at Sir George Young, 6th Baronet 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 article's 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.

Bt postnominal
The postnominal "Bt" is not used when the baronet is also a peer. I notice you've made several edits recently that include this error. Opera hat (talk) 23:45, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Endashes
Hello.
Thanks for adding the styles sections to various nobility articles. I'd just like to point out to you that per MOS:DATERANGE, year ranges are separated by an endash (–), not a hyphen (-).
Thank you.

- Hello again.
- I'm afraid you've misread MOS:DATERANGE above. There should be no spaces – non-breaking or otherwise – in year ranges. Year ranges should be like 1897–1904, nothing else. If months are involved, there should be spaces, e.g. October 1897 – February 1904. In the latter example, there could be a non-breaking space, but not in the former example.
- Please read through the guideline again, paying particular attention to the examples, before you continue. Or it will be too much for other editors to correct.
- Thank you. (If you want to answer, please do it here to keep the conversation in one place.)
- Hey. Sorry, I did – instead of – I'll do – in the future.
QC Postnominal
Hi! Thanks for your edits of the article on Lord Porter. I just wanted to point out that in England & Wales at least (apparently it's not the case in New Zealand) judges drop the QC after name upon appointment to the bench. Many thanks again for your edits!
Ranks & Appointments on frontbench page
I placed the ranks to show what level they hold in terms of ministerial seniority. Then there's also the appointments eg Minister for Defence Procurement and Minister of State for the Armed Forces which are the responsibilities they hold. Under those pages, they show the post holder, regardless if they were PUSS or Min of State. Those holding these appointments for example, can alternate or be promoted. Philip Dunne (Ludlow MP) for example was a Min State (I believe) for Defence Procurement, then Harriet Baldwin took the appointment but as a PUSS. It switches in every reshuffle. Feel free to rank them accordingly but I think it's best to show both rank and appointment and commons first, lords last. I'm not an expert on the formatting so thanks for the labelling.
Finding out who's responsible for what is a mystery with news and gov.uk not updating properly.

- Hi BlueD954, thanks for getting back to me. It's just that previously that page had integrated the offices as one piece of information so the role was Minister of State for Middle East & North Africa instead of Minister for Middle East & North Africa, Minister of State. I had followed this format because it seemed more concise as it coalesced the information into a single piece. Also I'd like to clarify what you mean when you write that you want to put rank and appointment first. Obviously rank means Secretary of State, Minister of State etc but what do you mean by appointment?
- I'd also like to agree with you on how it's been difficult to find information. I've been using Ministerial appointments: February 2020 for most of my information.
British frontbench
I edited accordingly so format as you wish. Also, better if you leave the conversation on your talk page - keep it to one page. BlueD954 (talk) 05:56, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
