:: Clarified it with links to the relevant official city and county websites. The traditional county section is now first and the admin section is second. It is not a subtle difference. The administrative centre of a county is not necessarily the same as a that of the county's capital city which, as in the case of many Irish counties, will have its own city council. The issue might be a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with Irish local government because it might appear that a county council is responsible for the entire county rather than just the section of the county outside the main city boundaries.

This article asserts that the county town is Waterford, but doesn't provide a source. Different articles -- [[county town]], [[list of urban areas in the Republic of Ireland by population]], [[Dungarvan]] -- make contradictory claims on this... and are all unsourced, also. There's also some discussion over on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_urban_areas_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland_by_population#Dungarvan_is_the_county_town_of_Waterford.3F this page].

NPOV
Re-edited Déise section. Now NPOV compliant.
I'm new to this, and any assistance will be appreciated. Interested in developing a page about the parish of Aglish and Ballinameela. Will experiment on. Please let me know if I'm duplicating someone else's work

- Edited Deise section so it is now NPOV. Have removed NPOV banner as the non-encyclopaedic section has been remeoved and reference data has been added. Jmccormac (talk) 06:59, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Link Spam
I have removed the link to UpTheDéise.com as it (the link) adds nothing of relevance to the content of the Wikipedia page. If it is felt that the link is suitable then please discuss your rationale behind having it included

- I don't particularly object to the link being removed. I did not add it. I did delete a few obvious attempts at linkspam using domain name variations of the official Waterford websites. However I think that some mention of the "dictionary" of Waterford slang is warranted. Perhaps in a separate section about Waterford related books.--Jmccormac 18:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
The new lead
The statement in the new lead which was inserted into the county articles is completely misleading; County Waterford is one of the 32 traditional counties - yes. But the traditional county is not co-locational with modern Waterford County Council. Sarah777 (talk) 12:28, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- Clarified it with links to the relevant official city and county websites. The traditional county section is now first and the admin section is second. It is not a subtle difference.

The issue might be a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with Irish local government because it might appear that a county council is responsible for the entire county rather than just the section of the county outside the main city boundaries.

County town?
This article asserts that the county town is Waterford, but doesn't provide a source. Different articles -- county town, list of urban areas in the Republic of Ireland by population, Dungarvan -- make contradictory claims on this... and are all unsourced, also. There's also some discussion over on this page. 79.97.71.180 (talk) 02:48, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
