Your approach is a sound one but should be in the format [[Bloody Sunday (Ireland 1920)]] and [[Bloody Sunday (Ireland 1972)]]. There is always the risk that this approach to the 1972 massacre could be seen as supporting a united Ireland. If you see that as a realistic fear than I would suggest using the city names for the events [[Bloody Sunday (Dublin)]] and [[Bloody Sunday (Derry)]]. Nobody can argue that these town aren't where they are.
Thanks. Taking cue from survey of library subject headings, I chose [[Bloody Sunday (Ireland 1920)]] and [[Bloody Sunday (Northern Ireland 1972)]].
I'll defer writing the [[Bloody Sunday (Ireland 1920)]] entry however, as multiple sources I've consulted so far are in no agreement regarding the number of causalties on *either* side.
I prefer to focus instead on 18th Century Irish history, when times were less contentious.
Okay, they weren't, but that's my excuse for now.
I believe [[Bloody Sunday - Northern Ireland]] now a redirect to which no page points.
