Hi. Please read the following guidelines before any further editing of the nationality of people in lead paragraphs. Thanks.
As the guidelines suggest, UK nationality is complicated and you need to look at the context and previous consensus before deciding to change anything. This individual here, for instance, was born in Scotland when it was a separate nation, and was a general in the Scots Army. It is therefore entirely appropriate to call him Scottish, and your change was baseless. And changing anyone's nationality on the basis of the origins of their name is just ridiculous.

Your recent editing history at Joseph Lister shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Your edits on Sir Charles Cayzer, 1st Baronet were to change the nationality of a recipient of a heredity title awarded by the British crown, who was born in Britain, worked for British company, owned land in Scotland, was a member of a Scottish regiment in the British territorial army and a member of the UK parliament. Calling him British appears to be entirely accurate and I suspect your edit on the article had more to do with your continued campaign of changing nationalities, rather than any consideration to what is most appropriate for the article.
