Admin attention required

Ok, I think this page needs moving to "Moyamba, Sierra Leone" (better follows naming conventions) Problem is its already a redirect for Moyamba district. I could change the redirect but thought I should run it by an admin first. "Moyamba" which is refered to on the Moyamba district page redirects to Moyamba district.

Actually, this should be moved to Moyamba, per naming conventions. I tagged that redirect for speedy deletion to make way for the move. Once that page is deleted (give it a few minutes), you can move it. Or if I see it first, then I'll move it. Regards.--12 Noon 23:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gee I wish I could delete pages! It would make my life so much easier :-) The occasional block would come in handy too. Sting_au Talk 23:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed now. Sting_au Talk 06:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Population estimate

Does anyone have accurate data on the population of Moyamba? Various editors have been changing the thousands figue but keeping the less-significant figures. Why? I suggest we keep just one significant figure in numerical data until we find some evidence for a more accurate estimate. (I must find my atlas for the distances!) The 2004 census included data for the Moyamba district. Does anyone know if there is a figure published for the town of Moyamba? dbfirs 07:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(later) I've found 1985 data for Moyamba. The population was only 6483 then, so I begin to doubt the estimate given in the article. I will edit again. dbfirs 07:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User Sittaconde seems to be introducing false data again. Why? dbfirs 09:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sittaconde again introduced false data, especially the distance! Does he not possess a map? dbfirs 13:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that two editors are again playing games with population figures. Does anyone have any facts? Dbfirs 17:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
