Isle of Wight

[edit]

As far as I can see from the structural change orders, the two districts in the Isle of Wight were never dissolved, just their councils were. Similar to Berkshire where the County was kept, and just the council dissolved. Any comments? Yamor2 (talk) 21:26, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, WP:MULTI. You raised the same topic at Talk:Districts of England#Isle of Wight. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I hardly edit on wikipedia, and had no idea about that rule. My comment was applicable to both articles, so I posted on both talk pages, but I should have just linked. Anyway, do you have any comment about the point I made? Thanks. Yamor2 (talk) 21:02, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reason to single out Berkshire (or the Isle of Wight)? I would love an clarification of what it means for a county to "still exist" after the council has been dissolved (which is implied to be the case for Berkshire (and possibly the Isle of Wight)). Are the areas in Berkshire not just unitary authorities? Is there a "ceremonial county"? It sounds like many unitary authority authorities may have a complex history, and special status. How is Berkshire different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.130.201.37 (talk) 12:04, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
