The glosses of what historic counties these cover seem only broad approximations. For example, Corwyn in Merioneth, was part of Clwyd not Gwynedd. Rather than propogate misinformation shouldn't this be removed? Morwen 14:52, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- I suppose one could remove it, but with the absence of a definitive map showing which towns were where it's a useful approximation. That, of course, is the problem with administrative areas - they're always changing and difficult to pin down. Owain Vaughan 16:20, 7 Nov 2003

- Then you should have noted it as an approximation, which I shall do for you. Morwen 16:26, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

For the sake of consistent and less confusing terminology, could I suggest that this article be moved to lieutenency areas of Wales? For that is what they are, and calling them a "county" simply adds to confusion! 80.255 08:53, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Go tell the government that, then. When they change the legislation to stop referring to them as counties, this page will move, not a day sooner. Morwen 09:57, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)
