It is not possible to create a uniforming guideline, when such strong disagreement exists on the relative importance of the labels. You clearly like to make a distinction between Scots and other British people, and introduce the Scottish flag in many places. But - as per the previous warning - we must refer you to this encyclopedia's WP:Manual of Style. In particular, please read WP:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom, and this portion:" Re-labelling nationalities on grounds of consistency — making every UK citizen "British", or converting each of those labelled "British" into their constituent nationalities — is strongly discouraged. Such imposed uniformity cannot, in any case, be sustained." Trafford09 (talk) 08:08, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

ally McCoist - who is scottish - listed as Scottish alex ferguson - who is scottish - listen as Scottish Gordon Brown - who is scottish - listen as British
the page you mentioned also states "Conduct research to be certain your choice is preferable" - this shows that out of the 3 scottish people I researched, 2 are listed as Scottish, and 1 as British. Therefore i changed the 1 which was British to Scottish, as i saw no reason why it would be different. Slayer9747 (talk) 15:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- As previously stated, you should only change nationalities where people specifically identify as a specific nationality. In the football world, people represent the individual countries of Great Britain, in the political world, MP's in Westminster represent Great Britain, therefore Brown is British. Equally Brown hasn't ever made it clear that he feels Scottish, not British (not least because to do so would be political suicide). Please try not to be so deliberately obtuse with your examples.
