Why not Kingdom of Dublin?

Why is this article not titled Kingdom of Dublin instead of Kings of Dublin? It reads as an article about a kingdom, and the title in the infobox says Kingdom. I got here through a link from an article that refers to it as the Kingdom of Dublin.--Jim10701 (talk) 23:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. The article should be renamed. -- Nidator ^{T / C} 08:37, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree also. The move has been completed. BodvarBjarki (talk) 11:59, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But why The Kingdom of Dublin? By analogy with Republic of Ireland etc. this article should be titled 'Kingdom of Dublin' as suggested by Jim and Nidator. Any objections if I move? --Yumegusa (talk) 15:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An admin will have to move it, because Kingdom of Dublin has been edited before and it won't let you delete "The" from the start (I just tried). But I agree with your position. - Yorkshirian (talk)

I don't see where the consensus was for the move to "The Kingdom of Dublin", which looks silly in English. I have moved it to Dublin (kingdom) for now. DinDraithou (talk) 01:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, let's get an admin to move it to Kingdom of Dublin, seems that's where we all would rather have this article. Finn Rindahl (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sitric (941-943)

There is a Sitric, linked to a dab page, in the middle of Blacaire's kingship i.e. 941-943. There is no explanation offered. We need a citation, I think. 134.226.252.155 (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology

Can anyone offer a reliable source for the chronology of kings given here? Downham certainly gives a different succession. Retroplum (talk) 23:37, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where the dates come from. I'm not that familiar with the early kings, but the chronology of the later ones really bug me. The list is missing a few twelfth-century figures. Some of the dates here don't any make sense, and I wonder if they are derived from a somewhat dated book or website. Maybe it'd be better to scrap the date column and make use of the 'notes' to identify the known rise/fall/events/relations/factoid/whatever of each individual. I wouldn't recommend anyone automatically use the dates to construct an article at least.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:35, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I'm trying to fill in those kings who don't currently have articles and the information given here is rather unhelpful. I will probably try to do something similar to what you suggest at some point in the future, although anyone else who is willing is certainly welcome to give it go.
