'Great Britain' redirects automatically to 'United Kingdom.' This is incorrect as the two terms are not interchangeable. The former is strictly the name of the Island which comprises the Mainland of England, Scotland and Wales, whereas the United Kingdom, is the name of a country, who's territory extends over many islands, including Northern Ireland. There should be a seperate article for 'Great Britain.'
- It is true that this difference needs to be made clear in the entry -- but there seems little sense in having a separate entry for two such overlapping entities! Boethius 11:04, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
That's a fair point I suppose! Consider it done : )
