questionable content

I have identified some "questionable content" on Uturoa ... feel free to include any comments or to suggest additional content that should be considered questionable. Fabrickator (talk)

Remember to sign your contribution with four "tildes" to keep the signing bot from adding another revision... You might want to explain your changes (along with the signature) in this prefatory area. Fabrickator (talk) 00:26, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

These edits by Syed zakiulla (talk · contribs) include some generally gratuitous changes (as well as a dubious change to verb number that probably should have been a re-wording) along with the addition of some content about "parks throughout Uturoa" that seems out of place.
