Silly Category names

[edit]

Putting peopke in Category names that use pre-X Y is essentiallizing the present. It is much better to use Category names based on the reality at present. We should also categorize based on political reality at the time. Thus we should call anyone leaving the United Kingdom British.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:57, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is he properly decided as Irish?

[edit]

Lett was very connected with Ulster organizations, that seem to connect to the ultimate Scottish origin of his ancestors. He left the United Kingdom. At least in his case it looks like this would have been how he viewed his own origin. It looks like this is how he would have self identified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
