her view on israel terrorist attacks

Green MSP Maggie Chapman who wrote: “What’s happening in Palestine is a consequence of apartheid, of illegal occupation, and of imperial aggression by the Israel state.” In this, her first response, there was not a word of sympathy for the hundreds of innocents massacred by Islamist terrorists. Chapman is deputy convenor of the Scottish Parliament’s Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee, a role which she has proved herself entirely unsuitable to hold. What an insult to all of us – in particular members of Scotland’s Jewish community – that we are expected to tolerate her presence in such an important position. 2A00:23C8:669A:7D01:B5C8:E5DA:352D:EB0A (talk) 06:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Nationality in Introduction: Scottish politician or Zimbabwean-Scottish politician

Firstly, Maggie Chapman is notable as a politician and lecturer in Scotland not Zimbabwe, and by MOS:NATIONALITY that means mentions of Zimbabwe should be left to infobox and early life section. Secondly, the references seem to support describing her as a "Zimbabwean born Scot" or just as Scottish, so there seems to be a lack of sources supporting "Zimbabwean-Scottish politician". Lastly, I believe that the mention of Zimbabwe is more likely to cause confusion to a reader since they are not going to be looking up Chapman for links to Zimbabwe.

She was born and raised there, and she (seemingly) had no family connection to Scotland prior to moving there as an adult. That being said, MOS:NATIONALITY probably applies here side nothing about her time her could be considered defining in its own right. TheBritinator (talk) 00:19, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

I guess it depends if "X Nationality politician" is interpreted as a politician serving in that nation or a politician who has that nationality. But regardless of that, from the sources I have looked through, I could not find any using the term "Zimbabwean-Scottish" (although haven't had time to look through a lot, so if there is one that states this it could be cited after nationality in the intro). I believe one of the editors who previously reverted this change quoted WP:SYNTH, although I can't work out whether or not that applies here. Perhaps a worthwhile compromise might be to leave it as "Scottish politician", but add another clause later (but still in intro paragraph) along the lines of "Chapman was raised in Zimbabwe, and moved to Scotland in 2001 [I think?] for university"?

Yeah that sounds good to me, I think it's probably still important to be mentioned somewhere in the forefront. TheBritinator (talk) 03:07, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

Apologies, started my response before noticing you'd edited your post, and there seems to be more agreement now. Tigered27 (talk) 02:00, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
