woo that was a monster for me to edit

I understand that it would take you time to read what you’re posting, but could you proof-read the Wikipedia thing in the future? It’s just that like all this stuff about Irish Home Rule isn’t a thing, or at least I don’t want it to be a thing yet.

I mean the other stuff is great, I just don’t want to give Ireland independence just yet, so could I void that section of the events.
