Good to see these dbs uploaded and many thanks to all.

Very, very sad, however, that someone has opted for an union jack / uk template 
for properties relevant to the Welsh Nation (see the Talk pages); very 
political - and the best way to turn off any Welsh people away from Wikidata 
and Wikimedia. We need to work with our diverse community, not against them!

I've created a new 'Template:Wales properties' but the rest also needs to be 
corrected and any uploads relevant to Scotland should be under Scotland, NOT 
the 'United' kingdom.

Please keep politics out of Wikimedia projects; many people are insulted by the 
use of "UK" - Wales has never agreed to any 'Union' / 'UK' which was only 
enforced upon us by the power of the English sword, not democracy.

The English WP discussed whether Wales is a country for many moons 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wales/Archive_country_poll); and the 
outcome (after many discussions) was that yes, it is a country. I hope WD will 
respect that decision, by using Category:Wales / Template:Wales rather than 
Category:UK etc etc.
