Ireland

Hi. Please read WP:IMOS. (Also, please don't describe material change to content as a change to a "typo".) Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 00:02, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Island of Ireland consists of 2 parts ... Ireland and Northern Ireland (part of UK)

Ireland is known as "IRELAND" not ROI nor Republic of Ireland .. Just simply ."Ireland" Nublue2 (talk) 00:58, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Please read the WP:IRE-IRL guideline. If you don't understand it, please let me know. Otherwise please stop editing in a way which is counter to the related content guidelines, editing guidelines, and which results in 'broken' pages/page syntax. Thanks.

I do not understand. Nublue2 (talk) 13:55, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Did you read the guideline at WP:IRE-IRL? If so, what part of it didn't you understand? (In honesty it is quite simple. The guideline simply states that, where there is the possibility that Ireland (the state) and Ireland (the island) might be confused, that we should use "Republic of Ireland". This is a common concern where "Ireland (the state)" and "Northern Ireland" are mentioned in the same sentence. As is the case in the introduction to Rail transport in Ireland. And is why the current wording is correct/fine as it is. Guliolopez (talk) 16:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ireland

edit

I think that the Irish Constitution takes presidence over what others write in Wikipedia.

Article 4 of the Constitution of Ireland, adopted in 1937, provides that the name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland. Hence, the Irish state has two official names, Éire (in Irish) and Ireland (in English). For official purposes, including in international treaties and other legal documents, and where the language of the documents is English, the Irish government uses the name Ireland. The same is true in respect of the name Éire for documents written in Irish. Similarly, the name of the state is reflected in its institutions and public offices. For example, there is a President of Ireland and a Constitution of Ireland. The name Ireland is also used in the state's diplomatic relations with foreign nations and at meetings of the United Nations, European Union,Council of Europe, International Monetary Fund, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Thank you. I am more than familiar with what the constitution states. I am also more than familiar with what the relevant project guideline states. If you have now read that guideline, and disagree with it, then you are free to open a discussion about it on the relevant talk page - to seek a change in consensus. You are not, however, free to continue to make changes which are counter to the agreed consensus. Bye. Guliolopez (talk) 00:43, 2 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
