Change "Denmark" to "Kingdom of Denmark" or "Danish Realm"

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "Denmark" in the first column to "Kingdom of Denmark" or "Danish Realm", and change the link from https://en.wikipedia.org/Denmark to https://en.wikipedia.org/Danish_Realm. Denmark is a constituent country within the sovereign state of The Kingdom of Denmark/Danish Realm, but not a sovereign state itself. The page for Denmark states: "This article is about metropolitan Denmark. For the sovereign state, see Danish Realm. "

Also change the flag to the "Flag of the Kingdom" as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/Flag_of_Denmark DREAMsolister (talk) 11:30, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: The short name for the state is "Denmark". The Misplaced Pages article titles are used to disambiguate between concepts. The state uses the standard flag in most cases. CMD (talk) 13:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Alright, but I would still change the link to https://en.wikipedia.org/Danish_Realm as with the Netherlands it is https://en.wikipedia.org/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands rather than https://en.wikipedia.org/Netherlands. DREAMsolister (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Done. CMD (talk) 08:51, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Add "Republic of Ireland" to "Ireland"

Since this page is protected from vandalism, I'm asking who can edit (like a mod or something) to add this minor edit. It's kind of bugging me 72.252.188.81 (talk) 14:38, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

"Republic of Ireland" is not an official name, so it is not used on this page. CMD (talk) 15:15, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 15 February 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Cook Islands and Nuie should be placed in the sovereignty dispute column, along the others, as it is not recognized by other states. 2607:FEA8:F420:F400:2909:474A:82B1:1BE8 (talk) 03:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. It does not appear that there is a dispute about their sovereignty, rather that they are associated, but sovereign nations. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:07, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Somaliland is now recognised by the Republic of China (Taiwan)

Request for change to list item for Somaliland to reflect this 123.243.26.26 (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Please see the discussion at Talk:List of states with limited recognition/Archive 14#Somaliland and Taiwan. CMD (talk) 05:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

"Unrecognized" spelling inconsistent

Both Unrecognized and Unrecognised are used. Consistency is needed A3811 (talk) 14:28, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
