Talk:2022 United Kingdom monkeypox outbreak

Rename to "2022 monkeypox outbreak in mainland UK"

I remember the China article for (COVID-19) said mainland because it started there. Should we do the same thing for the United Kingdom 73.126.133.15 (talk) 14:30, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Mainland China" is nothing do to with China being the "main" country COVID-19 originated from, but was originally used to distinguish the People's Republic of China, located mostly on the Eurasian landmass, from the Republic of China, mostly on the island of Taiwan. The term "Mainland UK" would probably be understood by most people as meaning Great Britain (i.e. England, Scotland and Wales, excluding Northern Ireland). However, it would make no sense to exclude Northern Ireland from this article (for example the COVID-19 in the United Kingdom article deals with the UK as a whole and doesn't exclude Northern Ireland).

Rename proposal

See the discussion at Talk:Mpox#Related articles and give your opinions there please. -- Colin°^Talk 10:14, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article formerly at Monkeypox has now moved to Mpox, a decision confirmed by a recent requested move discussion. There is now a requested move discussion at 2022–2023 monkeypox outbreak to move to 2022–2023 mpox outbreak. I suggest the same should apply here. Please go to the new RM discussion if you wish to contribute. Bondegezou (talk) 11:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scope

Should the 2024 outbreak be added to this article or or have a standalone page? The UK government's overview includes 2023 as context and the series of updates indicates some continuation. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:10, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
