== Constant Edits to Renamed South African Cities == |

Hello Park3r, I was wondering why you have consistently prevented renamed South African cities from being moved for years. You seem very attached to pre-apartheid names and only seem to take into account white South Africans when deciding what is and isn't a "common name". Sources for every single town/city you have prevented moving support the fact that these towns/cities are renamed. I am deeply concerned that there may be a racial bias in your editing but I wanted to approach you about it before I did anything. Is there any reason in particular you have done this? Even towns that were renamed over a decade ago in 2006 like [[Lydenburg]] you have prevented from being moved to a new page despite widespread adoption of the new name. You have also spoken against African news sources for being "untrustworthy" without saying why they are untrustworthy. If you could please expand on that I would appreciate it. I have not heard many black South Africans say that they want to embrace the apartheid-era names. |

Constant Edits to Renamed South African Cities
