When viewing the Scotland article, this template shows the regions of England. Was this intended? Ian Cairns 17:37, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
For those who want it, there is now Template:United Kingdom regions which uses an old version of this template, and may be more suitable for English pages, if not Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish ones. -- Henrygb 00:40, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
These are not part of the UK- so should not be included here. There already is a template in use for them. Astrotrain 14:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
The Ulster Banner was never the flag of Northern Ireland it was the Banner of the former Parliament of Northern Ireland disbanded in 1972. Its use on these template is incorrect and POV.-- padraig3uk 22:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
There is legisation that removed the Ulster Banner and the Government it belonged to in 1973, the British government dosent recognise the flag, therefore it shouldn't be used, simple fact, I find it suprising that those that proclaim that Northern Ireland is British are also those that refuse to accept British law on this issue.-- padraig3uk 17:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
The flag was granted to the Government of Northern Ireland as where it Arms, when the government was disbanded its flag ceased to exist in 1973 when the British government passed legislation to remove all powers from the Northern Ireland House of Commons.-- padraig3uk 17:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't think anyone 'proclaims' that Northern Ireland is British as its a simple fact that it is British, all six counties are as British as any other part of the UK. It is not a matter of 'Hear Say'. -- Cka4004 18:09, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I am sick to death of this festering issue, and the piss-poor communication regarding it. Having ad-hoc discussions on each and every article or template is not the way to do it. Can somebody please create a centralised discussion and then post pointers to it on all effected pages. I really don't want to protect yet more pages due to this nonsense. Thanks/ wangi 13:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
To prevent a silly edit war, and to avoid having a template with three flags, I've removed all the flags. If anyone can cite an encyclopedic reason to restore them, have a go. -- John 20:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, there has been a consensus on both the main N Ireland talk page, & the Template:United Kingdom regions talk page not to use the Ulster banner, despite claims to the contrary by one person(Jonto). As soon as August 23 comes I intend to remove the Ulster banner from this template, if anyone has an opposing view disuss it here(even though its been agreed upon twice elsewhere not to use this defunct and offensive flag).

Quite frankly, this issue doesnt need a consensus. Thats like saying its OK to claim that Steven Spielberg is dead on his wikipedia article as long as you get a consensus on his talk page, even though everyone knows that hes in fact not dead. Not only would that not happen, people would get in serious legal trouble for saying it. The same should apply here. Fennessy 13:38, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
International organisations? Name me one legitimate one outside of sports. No government uses or recognises this flag. Fennessy 13:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
By the way, you want to talk about guidelines? You have been blocked 4 times as far as I can make out, you can hardly claim to know them or abide by them Astrotrain. Fennessy 14:01, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
The use of flags is nesessary because people can recognise a country that way, like people for whom English isnt a first language. Biofoundationsoflanguage, stop trying to trash wikipedia just because you can't get your own way. You have done it elsewhere & your being disruptive. Fennessy 15:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
If the Ulster banner is just as valid as all the other flags in use, then its strange that Scotland has no legislation that expressly forbids the use of the
St Andrew's cross in government buildings, or that England has no laws that say the
St George's cross may not be used, etc.
Your grossly misrepresenting your postition.

{{ United Kingdom constituents and affiliations}} can cover the information included in {{ British dependencies}}, so I suggest merging {{ British dependencies}} into {{ United Kingdom constituents and affiliations}}. -- Wikipean ( talk) 08:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
