I wonder if "former states" would be a better title than "former countries". From one point of view, Italy was a "country" or a "nation" before there was any unified government of all of Italy. Michael Hardy 18:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I notice the Papal States are not yet listed here. Michael Hardy 18:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong name for the Category

[edit]

This category is wrongly named. Italian Peninsula does not contain the North Italy, Sardina, Malta, Corsica, and Sardinia, all contained in the Italian Geographic region. Futhermore there were many fomer italian states outside Italy, mainly in Dalmatia, such us the Republic of Ragusa--Giovanni Giove 22:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Republic of Ragusa was geographically located in the Balkans, thus "Category:Former countries in the Balkans" applies. This is only a geographic category. --Thewanderer 00:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the template from this category. Proposals for category renaming must be made at WP:CfD, not WP:RM. JPG-GR (talk) 05:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
