Typo in Third Paragraph of Energy

At the end of the third paragraph of the energy section, it should be "nuclear fusion reactors" instead of "Nuclear Fusion|Nuclear Fusion Reators research and development." Guardian2k (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

{{Edit extended-protected|United Kingdom|answered=yes}}

Border and coastline measurements in the Geography section are incomplete as they neglect the coastline length of Northern Ireland and of all the islands other than Great Britain itself, as stated in the reference source link named "UK coastline".

Suggested replacement:

Northern Ireland shares a {{Convert|499|km|mi|0|adj=on|order=flip}} land boundary with the Republic of Ireland and has a {{Convert|650|km|mi|0|adj=on|order=flip}} coastline.{{Cite web |title=Northern Ireland Coastal and Marine Forum |url=https://library2.nics.gov.uk/pdf/dard/2014/EEUD.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241123094028/https://library2.nics.gov.uk/pdf/dard/2014/EEUD.pdf |archive-date=23 November 2024 |access-date=13 March 2025 |publisher=Northern Ireland Costal and Marine Forum}} The length of coastline of Great Britain plus its principal islands is about {{Convert|31368|km|mi|0|order=flip}} long, with the coastline of the main island Great Britain being {{Convert|17820|km|mi|0|order=flip}} of that,{{Cite web |last=Darkes |first=Giles |date=January 2008 |title=How long is the UK coastline? |url=http://www.cartography.org.uk/default.asp?contentID=749 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120522042745/http://www.cartography.org.uk/default.asp?contentID=749 |archive-date=22 May 2012 |access-date=24 January 2015 |publisher=The British Cartographic Society}} though measurements can vary greatly due to the coastline paradox.{{Cite web |last=Weiner |first=Sophie |date=3 March 2018 |title=Why it's Impossible to Accurately Measure a Coastline |url=https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a19068718/why-its-impossible-to-accurately-measure-a-coastline/ |access-date=29 June 2024 |website=Popular Mechanics |language=en-US |archive-date=29 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240629025825/https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a19068718/why-its-impossible-to-accurately-measure-a-coastline/ |url-status=live }} It is connected to continental Europe by the Channel Tunnel, which at {{Convert|50|km|mi|0|order=flip}} ({{Convert|38|km|mi|0|order=flip}} underwater) is the longest underwater tunnel in the world.{{Cite web |title=The Channel Tunnel |url=http://www.eurotunnel.com/ukcP3Main/ukcCorporate/ukcTunnelInfrastructure/ukcInfrastructure |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101218114514/http://www.eurotunnel.com/ukcP3Main/ukcCorporate/ukcTunnelInfrastructure/ukcInfrastructure |archive-date=18 December 2010 |access-date=8 March 2015 |publisher=Eurotunnel}}

Add a link to The Beatles at the beginning of their paragraph in the "Culture" section. Not something super important, but I think it should be there. Quantum684 (My talk page) 13:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{not done}}: There is a link to The Beatles in the previous paragraph; see MOS:REPEATLINK. Day Creature (talk) 00:06, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Two images of financial centres

Do we really need two images of financial centres in the economy section? With London already being the principal financial centre in Europe, I think having the one image of it already gets the point across that the UK plays a leading role in finance, and the other image of Edinburgh should be replaced with something else.
