This page is a mess! The map shows what seems to be the post-1888, pre-1974 administrative county of cambridgeshire along with the post 1965 administrative county of Peterborough and Huntingdongshire. The article gives the impression that peterborough is part of the current administrative county of cambridgeshire, and that Huntingdonshire is a part of the traditional County of Cambridgeshire. In short, it is a mess; the map says one thing, the text says another, and reality is something else! Unless anyone can suggest any better ideas, I shall split this article into Cambridgeshire (traditional) and Cambridgeshire (administrative), remove references to peterborough being either wholly within either (it is not), and try to find two maps which actually show the correct area for each article. This has been done sucessfully for Gloucestershire. 80.255 01:33, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I suggest that a much better idea would be to discuss all the issues around Wikipedia's use of the word 'county' before making any further changes. I suggest we move this discussion to the Counties of England Talk page.
- Please make no further changes to this article, other county articles, or articles referrring to counties until this debate is complete. Thank you. Chris Jefferies 11th December 2003
The latest edit to this page ([1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Cambridgeshire&diff=0&oldid=4291451))has removed the names of several famous people from the area, referring to them as 'misappropriated'. In what sense were they 'misappropriated' and why, exactly, have they been removed? Maybe we should discuss this briefly and consider whether or not to reinstate them. - Chris Jefferies 23:24, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
