County Tyrone's in Northern Ireland so shouldn't Dennis Taylor be down as Northern Irish as nationality? Or does he regard himself as Irish? I've no idea, just noticed the discrepancy. If anyone one knows please say and if necessary correct. Cheers. Iancaddy 01:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

He is from Northern Ireland and I recall him playing for a Northern Ireland snooker team

According to the Belfast Agreement of 1998, "[The two governments] recognise the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland."

So, the citizenship of a citizen of Northern Ireland may, by international agreement, be British or Irish. Ssbohio 22:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two Images

To cut down the size of this article, I propose to remove the NI flag as Denis' picture is there. The flag only needs to appear if a suitable usable picture of the subject/person can't be provided.

It also will help us avoid the type of political questions already appearing in this talk page. The article refers to him both as "Irish" and "Northern Irish", thereby covering all angles. Patrick

[edit] Trophy

The article talks about Dennis lifting Joe Davis Cup after winning the WC. I've never heard this name put on the cup before, and cant find any evidence that that is what the trophy is called....User:Stonecold21

Hi, you are correct. The trophy was donated by Davis, or bought by Davis, but I think I was wrong to say that it is the "Joe Davis "Cup". Safer for now to revert to a more generic description. bigpad 17:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
