It currently lists his citizenship as American and British. As he actively applied for US citizen (rather than getting it through accident of birth) would he not be required to reliquish his British citizenship? 51.149.8.48 ( talk) 11:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
@ Serial Number 54129, I see you've restored the addition to "Political views" that I initially reverted. This addition is not proper because this section does not go in depth into Oliver's many many beliefs on many subjects. The section is instead meant to give a general overview on his views in british politics, american politics, and other prominent issue (but summarized in para 3). Is there a particular reason you restored the addition? Thanks! MyCatIsAChonk ( talk) ( not me) ( also not me) ( still no) 21:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
