Bath and local government

I made an edit to indicate that Bath is part of BANES (Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority), and thereby reduced the importance of the ceremonial county. Am I being too pedantic about this? What is more important for Wikipedia, the position of a city in local government or its historic relationships? I say the former; but the edit could be controversial as some people might be more attached to the latter. Please accept that I made the change in good faith.

Looks alright to me. There is always a problem of balancing the historic and current local government arrangements in Wikipedia articles. Local government boundaries are always changing and people are always complaining. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 12:02, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but there was nothing wrong in the 'old' (ie long-established, and correct, and in-line with how English cities articles on Wikipedia are introduced) article introduction. Please don't mess about with this. Sumorsǣte (talk) 19:49, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As for being in Somerset being 'historic' - too right it's historic. It's also correct. BANES is a recent phenomena and outside of local government matters means nothing to people. Sumorsǣte (talk) 19:50, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
