Talk:Great Britain (historical state)

May I politely ask what was the purpose of creating this redirect? Moonraker (talk) 23:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello. I think I've not done what I was trying! I thought it would help if I made this page so I could suggest we move the Kingdom of Great Britain article to this name. However, I now realise that I've made it more difficult to do now that this page exists. I am learning, but I've still got lots to learn.

 * Hello, also, Spiritofstgeorge. There is no harm done by a redirect which has nothing linking to it, and I suppose it will be deleted sooner or later.
 * On whether there should be an article at Great Britain (historical state), wouldn't exactly the same logic move other existing articles to England (historical state), Scotland (historical state), and Wales (historical state), not to mention East Anglia (historical state) and many more?

 * Thanks for eplying. My idea had been to try to find a way to make a difference between the Great Britain article, which deals with the geographical entity, and the article that deals with the state formed in 1707 that was also called 'Great Britain', currently called Kingdom of Great Britain though that was not its name. I don't see the same issue in the examples you give. Regards Spiritofstgeorge (talk) 09:14, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
