Forwarding this to wikien-l which is really the place for this. I would be grateful if the discussion could ensue there, not here.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Everson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 2:21 PM Subject: [Foundation-l] Trouble in Ireland To: [email protected] I don't know whether this is a reasonable place to put this problem, but the articles on Ireland on en.wikipedia.org need a serious look by people with a neutral view. Right now we've got a clique of about 10 editors filibustering and preventing any change to the article naming conventions. It's driving us mad, and preventing the articles themselves from being improved. Somehow I think we need binding arbitration. A number of us think that the most sensible proposal is to move [[Ireland]] to [[Ireland (island)]], [[Ireland (disambiguation)]] to [[Ireland]], and [[Republic of Ireland]] to [[Ireland (state)]]. That's a compromise over an alternative, which is to move [[Ireland]] to [[Ireland (island)]], keep [[Ireland (disambiguation)]] where it is, and move [[Republic of Ireland]] to [[Ireland]]. If any of you would like to take a look, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ireland_(disambiguation)#Proposed_move_to_Ireland and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ireland#Proposed_move_to_Ireland_.28island.29 . At least I'd like advice as to how we can get out of this mess.
