With or without the "h"

[edit]

Editor Kelgreen recently edited the article changing instances of "Matusadona" to "Matusadonha", and moving the article to "Matusadonha National Park", without discussion. The problem is that while the Hills are properly spelled with an "h" , the national park is spelled without the "h". The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority spells its name without an "h", see here. A google search of Zimbabwe websites found 1,140 hits without the "h" here and only 116 with the "h" here. Similarly, webwide searches without the limitation to ZW sites, found 45,800 hits without the "h", and only 8,710 with the "h". The United Nations List of National Parks and Protected Areas for both 1973 and 1990 list it without the "h". I found no basis, except for the original name of the hills, to suppose that the "official" name of the park is with the "h". I have moved the page back to its original title pending discussion and consensus. --Bejnar (talk) 05:41, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
