hidden controversy
Have decided to greatly expand this article and include as many relevant links as possible. Perhaps some of our resident Brits could assist me in adding pages where there are dead links. [[User:Trashbat|Trashbat]] 09:43, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

:Your British expertise is needed in separating [[Great Britain]], [[United Kingdom]]. [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland]], and the many other names of states (past and present) on these isles that cause Americans so much confusion!

== Map is wrong==
The part of the map claiming to be [[Ulster]], is in fact [[Northern Ireland]], which is only 6 of Ulster's 9 counties. [[User:TomBarry|TomBarry]] 20:16, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
==Information hidden in long footnotes==
Please don't hide information in footnotes. If there are significant numbers of Irishmen who dislike the term "British Isles" then this should be in the body of the article, not hidden in footnotes.
I removed the word "controversial" from the intro sentence, because after glancing at all the article text (but ignoring the footnotes) I could not see '''anything''' about an objection to the term ''British Isles''.
So this sort of information hiding is misleading to your fellow contributors as well as general readers. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:15, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
