Ouch! and no, I certainly don't think an edit war is necessary or desirable. Do be aware that the old list seemed to be a mixture of counties and unitary authorities and some were missing (such as Kent). There were some from Scotland (highlands) and Wales (monmouthshire) in the list even though there were links to a separate Scotland page - you get the idea. We have chosen to use ceremonial counties as the basis for this level of the England page and aim to include all parts of the UK once and once only. Can I ask you to bear with us while we: 1) Ensure that we do have every part of England in once an once only (we don't have that yet) 2) Have transferred the information we have rudely dumped on the floor to the new page - we will not however check the currency of that data. Before we start are people happen with using ceremonial counties (such as Cheshire and Berkshire) at this top level? Cheshire was split into two unitaries a few weeks ago!
