A barnstar for you!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	It's great working with you on the Constitution... Also, I'd like to discuss the line just before the clarity section. It makes it difficult to word the section I've added since it's actually circumstancial. Anonymous 573462i (talk) 16:11, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

The paragraph is a little jumpy, since the case I'm refering to states that parliamentary sovereignty isn't pragmatic for the courts... perhaps this belongs within the other sentence but that sentence declares "debate"... orbiters a little different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.220.157.192 (talk) 11:18, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, improving the article on the Constitution of the United Kingdom together is a whorthwile effort. Whizz40 (talk) 23:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

		The Citation Barnstar
		Thank you for providing citations for "message delay." I have created the necessary redirect. Although the term "message delay" fell out of use in favor of "packet delay", the article should use the terms that were used at the time. The source I used was a historical account and used the updated term. TheSpacebook (talk) 15:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, TheSpacebook. Whizz40 (talk) 15:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
