An anonymous editor is edit warring in an attempt to replace the term Republic of Ireland with Ireland There are two reasons however that the latter term is appropriate To avoid confusion since Ireland is also the name of the island and The name of the football jurisdiction in any case is Republic of Ireland In the interests of clarity and to avoid confusion and ambiguity therefore please leave the settled text alone That is your point of view It is not fact The name of the country is Ireland Fact To try and push some other name is wrong It is not my POV It is indisputable fact that the island is called Ireland and the football jurisdiction is called Republic of Ireland Plus no one has denied that the 26 county state is officially called Ireland so you are using a straw man with that one It makes sense to use Republic of Ireland here for the two reasons noted above both of which I see you have elected not to address Your references to WP IMOS are also disingenuous if not self defeating since that policy allows for the terminology as was the case here before your intervention
