To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
Sincerely, Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 07:03, 19 June 2020 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

Lieutenancy areas of Scotland
editThe areas are the same as created in 1975 (which I think is when the 1973 Act came into effect, not 1974). I don't think the names were in use then, though. The document which created them can be read at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1975/428/pdfs/uksi_19750428_en.pdf .--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 22:28, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
What do you mean the names weren’t in use? What did they call them? Aimmella12 (talk) 23:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Also according to the acts of 1975 and 1996 of the Scottish lieutenancy areas. It states the full county of Banff is its own lieutenancy area. On your map, the Banffshire lieutenancy area only encompasses about half of the modern lieutenancy area, with the other half being the parts of the historic county currently in Aberdeenshire council. If you need a clarification let me know.

This is a source to the ceremonial counties of the UK. On the Scotland map, compare the border of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire to your map you have up on the lieutenancy areas page. You will see what I’m talking about. Aimmella12 (talk) 00:30, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Country not political division
editPlease note that we do not use constituent country for the UK Countries. This was agreed after a long mediated process -----Snowded TALK 17:26, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Ok thank you I will fix that as soon as possible! What’s the right term, country? Aimmella12 (talk) 04:59, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
I will make sure all of my edits contain country by tomorrow. Aimmella12 (talk) 05:02, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
For most of the ceremonial counties in England, it says constituent country. I will be sure to fix this tomorrow also if you would like. Aimmella12 (talk) 05:13, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Eric talk 22:35, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
