British subject edit

Nominator(s): Horserice (talk) 03:50, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coming off of a successful FAC for British National (Overseas), I think I've updated this article to a similar level of quality as well (hopefully, heh). British subject is a term currently used to describe a residual nationality class left over from days when Britain was an empire. The article also covers earlier definitions, encompassing what would now be called British citizenship and Commonwealth citizenship. This article covers a pretty complex topic and I've worked on making it a much more digestible read. Looking forward to some feedback, Horserice (talk) 03:50, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've read through it and don't see many prose problems. One question, if the 2002 Act is resolving the status of the remaining British subjects, why is that mentioned only in passing? Perhaps I misunderstood. Our article on the Act is no help.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:39, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added a bit at the end of the main body of the article on the 2002 Act. Hope that's enough, since I haven't been able to find substantial literature about the effects of this Act on British subjects, BOCs, or BPPs. From what I've been able to read, it seems like the intention of the Home Office was to let these categories of people eventually die off. When the 2002 Act did take effect, it seems unlikely that a large number of people were able to take advantage of the provision for registration as full citizens, given the conditions necessary to possess and retain those residual statuses.

Coordinator comment - This has been a non-starter unfortunately and is almost at the three-week mark without any support for promotion. It will be archived soon if it does not receive some substantial attention. --Laser brain (talk) 22:28, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
