Fingal
Hi, please refrain from making any more such changes to the Fingal article, as it is a county. The Oireachtas created it by passing the Local Government (Dublin) Act in 1993. The description of the act is "AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE DIVISION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNTY OF DUBLIN INTO THREE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNTIES TO BE KNOWN AS THE COUNTY OF SOUTH DUBLIN, THE COUNTY OF FINGAL AND THE COUNTY OF DUN LAOGHAIRE-RATHDOWN, FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNCIL FOR EACH OF THOSE COUNTIES, TO AMEND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (DUBLIN) ACTS, 1930 TO 1991, AND TO PROVIDE FOR MATTERS RELATED TO THE MATTERS AFORESAID.". This is the law of Ireland. Fingal is not a traditional county but is it a modern administrative county. Snappy (talk) 17:21, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * In response to your message on my talk page, the Oireachtas did create both the county of Fingal and Fingal County Council. You can't have one without the other. i.e. "FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNCIL FOR EACH OF THOSE COUNTIES,". You may also want to read Counties of Ireland to get a better understanding of the old traditional counties and the new administrative counties. Snappy (talk) 18:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Murry1975 (talk) 10:08, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
