Template:Outline of knowledge coverage

The issue whether England is a country or not has been repeatedly raised.

The outcome of discussion is that England is a country. This has been confirmed in formal mediation with respect to Wales, though the general issues are common amongst England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

The discussion about Wales is summarised in this archive. Further information on the countries within the UK for the different terms used to describe England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales can be found at Countries of the United Kingdom, and Subdivisions of the United Kingdom. A table of reliable sources can be found at Talk:Countries of the United Kingdom/refs. Additional material and debates can also be found on the archived talk and FAQs at Talk:United Kingdom.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

England has been listed as one of the Geography and places good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it.

Racial demographics

The racial breakdown is incorrect.

Firstly the source quoted says it's an estimate.

Secondly the racial demographics are an estimate of two countries combined, that being England and Wales.

HardeeHar (talk) 20:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which racial breakdown, and which source, specifically? Thanks. Tony Holkham (Talk) 22:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The info cited from citation #1 isn't on that webpage.

Plus source #1 relates to England & Wales.

this Wikipage isnt about Wales and so shouldn't be citing demographics relating to Wales as that's a different country.

The info cited from citation #3 isn't on that webpage.

Plus source Citation #3 relates to the UK and not specifically to England.

I haven't checked the all other citations but from what I've checked I've seen a pattern, that being the sources don't contain the info cited and the sources aren't specifically about England and really relate to two or more countries info combined

HardeeHar (talk) 20:34, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re the first citation (ref 13), the separated info is in the report (e.g. page 12). The third ref (ref 203) is a dead link and needs replacing. Tony Holkham (Talk) 21:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why are Irish listed under Other in the Ethnicity Box? I always thought the Irish were white? :)
