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)

Seems to support Somaliland's inclusion. Otherwise, we should remove Somaliland from this article since it has no recognition as a state. 2001:8003:900C:5301:ED5E:AD76:97D7:6D20 (talk) 04:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

"Unrecognized" spelling inconsistent

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

Unrecognized is the standard spelling. 2001:8003:900C:5301:ED5E:AD76:97D7:6D20 (talk) 04:49, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 6 July 2023

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

The current flag of the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan should be included besides its name on the list. Caiomstocco (talk) 03:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Looking at /Archive 15#The Afghanistan problem, I didn't see a clear consensus on what to do. Please either provide a past convincing RfC about the flag or establish a new consensus.

Taiwan's recognition of Somaliland

The Republic of China currently recognizes the Republic of Somaliland as legitimate. https://en.mofa.gov.tw/CountryInfoEn.aspx?CASN=2&n=1289&sms=0&s=200 Caiomstocco (talk) 05:49, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, they do. Somaliland has finally been recognized as a sovereign state by somebody. 2001:8003:900C:5301:ED5E:AD76:97D7:6D20 (talk) 04:45, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Scotland??

Why isn’t Scotland listed? Coronaverification (talk) 06:49, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Because its sovereignty lies in its constituency within the wider United Kingdom. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Because it is not a sovereign state. Don't worry though, it will become one in the future. It is inevitable. 2001:8003:900C:5301:ED5E:AD76:97D7:6D20 (talk) 04:48, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
