Let's locate UK mountains in the UK Nick, you take. Otherwise it would not fit into your nice constituent countries of a larger country scheme. You seem to have trouble with borderline cases, and that's the reason why you literally sweep the dirt (Northern Ireland) under the carpet. Articles you have quite surely seen, read, or even edited/purged. And that's serious.Why? Because that would force you to admit that Northern Ireland is depicted as a country is quite a few of Wikipedia's articles. "England, Scotland and Wales are all constituent countries of a larger country, the United Kingdom." Hmmmm. Markussep Talk 18:05, 11 January 2010 (UTC) Reply Hi Nick The zeal you should editing things abroad, should be shown at home, don't you think? As a Londoner Wikipedian, the minute after you edit Canigó's location, you should be rushing into editing Ben Nevis. Most English speakers think of Catalonia as the autonomous region around Barcelona, stating that Canigou is in Catalonia would be confusing. In the infobox for Slieve Donard, the highest hill in Northern Ireland, its location is gives as County Down, Northern Ireland. I think the comparison with Northern Ireland is a bit more appropriate, even though regions like Languedoc-Roussillon or Pyrénées-Orientales don't enjoy the same degree of autonomy as Northern Ireland or (Spanish) Catalonia. doesn't fit, since there isn't another Scotland somewhere. Nickhh ( talk) 17:51, 11 January 2010 (UTC) Reply Since there's also a discussion here, I'll repeat what I wrote on Andreas' talk page: IMO the comparison with the UK, Scotland etc. It matters little whether any of this is unfair, or "wrong" in some way or by some argument, it just is. Again, if the infobox field was for "Country", it would be doubly wrong.
