Request to update link and name of park edit

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 "Odzala National Park" changed to "Odzala-Kokoua National Park", the park's official name. Since the Wikipedia article has been moved (see Talk:Odzala-Kokoua National Park), I am trying to update links throughout the encyclopedia, but I don't edit articles directly because of my conflict of interest. Thank you in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Declined This edit request consists of altered font colors, and does not include updated WL's. Spintendo      11:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
I've updated the request above to remove text coloring and link the specific name I think should be updated. Thank you. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:28, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
  Already declined this list is centered on having an article to back it up. In this case, the article "National parks of the Republic of the Congo" does not yet exist. My reading of WP:SOURCELIST is that requests such as this — which ask for updates to be made to lists of information based on the counterfactual existence of another article — should not be approved until and unless the material backing that list becomes more concrete.

I've made the change, I don't see what's controversial about it. A Google books search supports the notion that the name is common, in addition to being the official name of the park. -Indy beetle (talk) 18:45, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
