Talk:Shire River

Request to update link and name of park
On behalf of African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting a request to have "Majete Game Reserve" changed to "Majete Wildlife Reserve", the park's official name. Since the Wikipedia article has been moved (see Talk:Majete Wildlife Reserve), I am trying to update links throughout the encyclopedia, but I don't edit articles directly because of my conflict of interest. This source links Livingstone and the waterfall, and this source confirms the waterfall is in Majete Wildlife Reserve. Thank you in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 19:52, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

The claim statement, Livingstone's trek through areas which are today a part of the Reserve, could not be confirmed through the sources provided. The claim statement has been altered to mention Livingstone's attention to the Shire.      Spintendo       20:50, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Spintendo, does this source or this source work? Inkian Jason (talk) 23:02, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Please restate your proposed text (while making sure to keep WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE in mind).      Spintendo       23:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Before I submitted this request, the article said, "In 1859, David Livingstone's Zambezi Expedition traveled up the Shire as far as Kapichira Falls in what is now the Majete Game Reserve." I'm comfortable with your preferred wording linking 1859, Livingstone, Kapichira Falls, and Majete Wildlife Reserve. I was only trying to have "Majete Game Reserve" changed to "Majete Wildlife Reserve", since this is the park's official name and the name of the Wikipedia article.

 * The claim that Livingstone traveled on the Shire remains in the article. Where that trip eventually ended and its relation to the Reserve is not the purpose of the Shire article. That information belongs in the Livingstone article.      Spintendo       16:34, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I was just trying to update a wiki link. I'll let other editors decide if mention of the park is appropriate. Thanks, Inkian Jason (talk) 18:43, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
