Some editors seem to think Hertfordshire is in southern England, when it is not. It is officially part of Eastern England. So it seems now we are defining borders and regions of the UK by where they appear to be. Hull looks like its in the north east of England, so shall we say it is? No, because it's in Yorkshire and the humber. Nuneaton looks like its in the eastern part of the midlands, so shall we say it is here? No, we couldn't possibly, because its in the West Midlands of course. The thing is, you have to go by proper borders because it is like having a war between which place is in which region, if you don't follow borders then everyone's map of the UK looks different, and therefore it is imperative there will be arguments as to which region a place is in. This article should say Hertfordshire is in the East of England, otherwise it's wrong, and you could argue that it is in either. Stick to the official regions and the problem is solved-- 2A02:C7F:C802:4000:4D1C:C33C:E0DE:F85A ( talk) 23:38, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
London is in the London and South-east England region, so south-east England or southern England is appropriate. Also, I knew you were going to say that about comparing it with towns. It doesn't matter. Lets say Somerset is in Western England, well then no its in the south-west. If your going to say Herts is in Southern England, then why isn't Somerset also southern England?
NORTHERN ENGLAND - COMBINES NORTH EAST, YORKSHIRE AND HUMBER AND NORTH WEST ENGLAND
SOUTHERN ENGLAND - COMBINES LONDON AND SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH WEST ENGLAND
EASTERN ENGLAND - EAST OF ENGLAND ONLY
THE MIDLANDS - WEST AND EAST MIDLANDS
WESTERN ENGLAND - NON EXISTENT
generally however, an article should use the correct region and be specific rather than use simply southern England. 2A02:C7F:C802:4000:59E:16EA:2F31:FFC ( talk) 03:13, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
So the county a place is in HAS to be correct, whereas the region can be chosen, that makes no sense at all 2A02:C7F:C802:4000:3959:6240:B401:62F1 ( talk) 17:31, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
In addition, Bedfordshire is stated as the East of England in the article 2A02:C7F:C802:4000:3959:6240:B401:62F1 ( talk) 20:17, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
I can't be bothered arguing with you any more. I've explained why I think a nuanced approach is better in this particular case than what you propose. This is because an anomaly results from Hertfordshire being placed in a grouping that it doesn't really belong to for both historical and geographical reasons. But at the very least, if you want a regimented system in which counties are strictly described by official statistical region, in this case it should say 'is a county in the East of England region of England'. It should NOT say 'is a county in the East of England'. Dubmill ( talk) 11:02, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
