Queen Elizabeth II's listings need to be divided;

Colony of Jamaica - 1952 to 1962.

Dominion of Jamaica - since 1962.
I don't think that is needed, it is the same ruler so why divide the years?
I don't see Australia or Canada divided.

​I don't see Australia or Canada divided.

Jamaica became an independent Dominion in 1962.

Australia & Canada were already independent Dominions - from 1901 in Australia's case, & from 1867 in Canada's case.

1901 so Queen Victoria's listing should be divided for Canada, I really don't see the point

​I don't really see the point in dividing Australia into two sections (not just two ruling authorites) but that's what we have at present. Having two ruling authorities for a given monarch before and after independence does seem to me to have some merit.
However, we need to be careful about using the term "Dominion", as it has largely been abandoned in the last few decades. Indeed, Jamaica has never used the title "Dominion", it's just "Jamaica". To begin with, one could argue that "dominion" was a description of Jamaica wheras now "Commonwealth realm" is a more acceptable description, but neither have had any official status.
