 Countries of the United Kingdom 

There appears to be major progress on the lists of countries issue which is great. I was wondering if you have some time, could help try and resolve the Countries of the United Kingdom now. I know i disagreed when i first joined on the use of the term, but after seeing the evidence there is no better term to describe it. It was over 6 months since the poll was started on the merger of Subs / Countries of the UK and the changes proposed would be far better than the current version. I think if it was attempted, an agreement could be reached on this issue which would lead to preventing major disputes in the future.    
I've replied there.

 Nice 
Nice work on the awards page overhaul. You should consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards. Best   

I might do that - I've a couple of suggestions.   

Zulu_Nation_(disambiguation)
Is this page necessary due to Zulu_(disambiguation)?  I prodded it but am welcome to suggestions.   

'Zulu nation' as you probably know, is actually a recognised term (and used in the Zulu article a lot)- I thought of making a short intro on it, but didn't have the time. The other alternative is to point 'Zulu nation' to Zulu - it shouln't go to the hip hip group, though. We certainly needed the link (with the small-cap n, the large cap N previously went to the group). I'm busy now, so I'll leave it up to you.   

The Core Contest

I think Danny is about to announce the winners of the Core Contest, which I think you'll find has been concluded to everyone's satisfaction, including yours. )  Please be so good as to add your new awards to the user pages of the winners.  Thanks, Matt!  If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.    

 Re: Edits-only solution for Ireland only 

I'm not sure where to insert it now the discussion has matured, but I loved your rant/objections/gripe/points (not sure how to describe it!), and support you all the way. You bring to light exactly my sentiments and I support you. I'd love to action your proposal, but feel that any work I do to ""Irish"" articles merely draws me into eon-long nonsensical debates, which take me away from doing what I love best - writing articles. 

Again, you make great points, and I support you.  |  Talk   

I'd also like to state that I think you are writing good messages and making good points on the debate. I'm loathe to get any further involved, myself, but I am glad I made the point that re-ignited the ""Ireland as disambiguation page"" point, tieing it in more firmly with what I understand is wikipedia policy on this issue in the hope that arguments based on motivations, fears, etc would not be so dominant (though it sadly seems to have failed on this matter.)
