Hi. According to https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers, Claire Coutinho is ranked between Kemi Badenoch and Mel Stride. Could you please give an explanation to this edit? Mike Rohsopht (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- As per https://members.parliament.uk/government/cabinet Coutinho is above Badenoch and Stride. https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers doesn't explicitly state that cabinet ministers are ordered in ministerial ranking but https://members.parliament.uk/government/cabinet explicitly does. Won't be defensive though and open to an alternative explanation. Fm675 (talk) 21:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I have asked the House of Commons Enquiry Service. This is their response:
In respect of the listing of Ministers, Parliament tries to mirror the government as closely as possible. However, occasionally changes to Ministers occur without notice which may result in Parliament’s list differing from the government’s. As a consequence of your enquiry, those responsible for compiling Parliament's list are reviewing it.
Even following that review, there will still be some differences but those are based on how Parliament records Member information compared to gov.uk. Where gov.uk may bundle several positions into one title for a Member (like Oliver Dowden or Michael Gove), these will be broken out into individual cards (cards being the bordered boxes on our pages).
In the opposite case, if more than one Member holds the same post they will be listed together on Parliament’s Cabinet page, where gov.uk may list them separately. So Richard Holden and Esther McVey sit in the same card as they are both Minister without Portfolio, but gov.uk splits them up as Richard Holden permanently attends Cabinet and Esther McVey may attend Cabinet.

- Have updated to their new ministerial ranking - still a discrepancy between order of Michael Gove and Victoria Atkins however. Have treated Atkins as higher because that is what parliament.uk says. Thanks for checking and let me know of any more updates required. Fm675 (talk) 18:40, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Copying licensed material requires attribution
[edit]Hi. I see in a recent addition to Minister of State for Industry you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Open Government Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 18:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Input on what to include in infoboxes for members of Congress
[edit]Would appreciate your input on this dormant discussion here.
Standardisation of what positions to include in a senator's infobox and how to arrange them has been long overdue. People focus too much on the president's infoboxes.
Frankly, I've gotten sick of tracking and reverting edits by users who want committees to stay, and some who think they clutter the infobox with what is easily described in prose. SuperWIKI (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Re. portrait on Michael Tomlinson's page
[edit]Hi, I'm messaging re. Michael Tomlinson's portrait. I wanted to refer the matter to the talk page of the article given it is apparent differnt people have different ideas on whether the older or newer portrait should be used and thought I'd give you a heads up.
