County Borough of Londonderry edit

The Wikipedia Manual of Style says "where an entity uses a particular name, regardless of whether it is Derry or Londonderry, use that name for the entity; thus County Derry Post (newspaper), High Sheriff of County Londonderry, former Derry Central Railway, Londonderry railway station, North West Liberties of Londonderry, and Derry GAA (which will usually be abbreviated to Derry)." The Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, Schedule 2 refers to " County Boroughs ... Londonderry". I have therefore amended the article accordingly.Alekksandr (talk) 20:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

You're misinterpreting the guideline. The name of the entity you are using is the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, which term it uses within is irrelevant. The name of the entity applies only when the actual name contains "Derry" or "Londonderry" as the examples show.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 20:48, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
The name of the entity is "County Borough of Londonderry". The Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898 is the legislation which gave the entity its name - see http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1898/act/37/enacted/en/print - Section 21.—(1) "Each of the boroughs mentioned in the Second Schedule to this Act shall be an administrative county of itself, and be called a county borough." Schedule 2 "County Boroughs ... Londonderry".Alekksandr (talk) 21:16, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your edit is referring to the city and not the county and that is why it has been revered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.15.240 (talk) 08:43, 27 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
As quoted above, Wikipedia:DERRY states "where an entity uses a particular name, regardless of whether it is Derry or Londonderry, use that name for the entity; thus County Derry Post (newspaper), High Sheriff of County Londonderry, former Derry Central Railway, Londonderry railway station, North West Liberties of Londonderry, and Derry GAA (which will usually be abbreviated to Derry)." As stated above, the 1898 Act gave the particular name 'Londonderry' to the County Borough. I therefore propose to restore the edits which I made previously.Alekksandr (talk) 13:58, 27 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Link to County Londonderry which is correct on WP and you will be fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.15.240 (talk) 22:58, 27 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
That article relates to the county, which includes towns like Coleraine and Magherafelt. The entity in question is the County Borough, also known as the 'county of the city of Londonderry' - see Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, section 69(5). I therefore propose to restore the edits which I made previously.Alekksandr (talk) 15:54, 28 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

You have been revert again as this is against WP:DERRY. Please read and don't revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.15.240 (talk) 19:41, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
I have already quoted the wording from WP:DERRY which I suggest supports the edit which I have made - see above "20:56, 14 December 2016" and "13:58, 27 December 2016". You have not stated why you disagree with my interpretation of this wording. Please do so at this stage. If you do not, I will assume that you do not wish to make any further comments, and will proceed as set out in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Alekksandr (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
