Did the UK include Ireland?

edit

@Davidstewartharvey: About this reversion: During the Victorian period, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland were not separate countries, and the article to which you linked, the Republic of Ireland, did not exist. I will note, of course, that this is a sincere emotional and cultural matter. But the legal position remains that there was a single country called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1801 to 1922. Regardless, it's not a point that merits my getting into a reversion war in an article as remotely-connected as this one... so I shall leave it thus. —GoldRingChip 15:50, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @GoldRingChip, I made the change back as Ireland is not currently of the UK, however if there is a page that predates the 1922 split then I have no objections to it being changed to that. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 17:30, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Davidstewartharvey:: A page that has some history before the 1922 split is History of Ireland (1801–1923), but it's not the country article. In fact, History of Ireland (1801–1923) begins: "Ireland was part of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1922."
Let's put it another way, it's like saying: "Leonid Brezhnev was leader of both the Soviet Union and Kazakhstan." It's incorrect, or at least unnecessary, because Kazakhstan was part of the USSR at the time, and it only later became a separate country. —GoldRingChip 01:43, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but it should then not be linked to just the United Kingdom page, which is post 1922? Davidstewartharvey (talk) 06:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, it should be linked to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which is the name of the country when the article (citing the Victorian period) takes place. —GoldRingChip 18:17, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
