I have removed Category:Geographic history of Ireland as a parent category, because the scope of this category is much wider than Ireland: categories should be parented in more general categs, not more specific ones.

Why is the Irish Republic included in this list? Has something happened that I don't know about? Liamfoley ( talk) 20:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC) reply

By making this category a subcat of Category:Geographic history of Ireland, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Kingdoms of Wales and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category: Petty kingdoms of England end up as part of Category:Ireland, which is wrong. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 20:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply

This category is wrong anyway as most of the articles included in it are about former kingdoms and polities: that does not equal country with all that term implies about nationality and so forth. Enaidmawr ( talk) 19:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC) reply
