Statement by Redking7
[edit]The short bit - If the RoI article is not to be moved to "Ireland", I agree with the compromise proposal that:
- the RoI article to "Ireland (state)";
- the island article to "Ireland (island)"; and
- "Ireland" be a DAB.
For those who wish to read on:
There are a bunch of states that have geographic names that do not fully correspond with their borders – Examples:
- Luxembourg – The state of that name does not include Luxembourg (Belgium);
- Mongolia – The state of that name does not include Inner Mongolia;
- Samoa – The state of that name does not include American Samoa;
- Solomon Islands – The state of that name does not include the North Solomon Islands;
- South Africa – The state of that name does not include lots of places in South Africa such as Swaziland;
- Papua New Guinea – The state of that name does not include Papua (Indonesian province);
....The names of all of the above states have Wikipedia articles that follow their usual names.Why is Ireland being singled out? Regards. Redking7 (talk) 07:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
