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]
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]
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]
