Use of the term British Isles[edit]

This article uses the term British Isles (e.g. "On 4 June 1944 Mount Vernon began a series of voyages to British Isles ports") which as well as being controversial (see British Isles naming dispute) is in this case inaccurate as this would imply theIreland a neutral country was involved in the war. Can I suggest that you change the reference to the United Kingdom which would be a more accurate term. Bjmullan (talk) 19:43, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For those unfamiliar with this issue there is no so-called British Isles naming dispute. It does not exist in the real world and the Wikipedia article is a sham; it should be deleted, being just a collection of references to odd, opinionated, commentators who dislike the term. The user suggesting an alternative has a history of anti-British editing and his current assault on British Isles is just the latest twist in a long-running campaign to remove the term from Wikipedia. The assertion above that using British Isles implies that Ireland was involved in WWII is the height of absurdity. LemonMonday Talk 20:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For those unfamiliar with this SPA may I suggest you have a look at his block log. LemonMonday has a long history of labelling his own British Isles POV with other editors. His latest attack on me has included a uncontested ANI report. Bjmullan (talk) 20:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with SS Washington[edit]

Since the two ships are one and the same, I'd recommend that this page be merged with the page of the SS Washington. Perhaps lop off most of the log details as well. 174.0.253.201 (talk) 14:15, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
