Talk:Battlefields (KwaZulu-Natal)

Renaming the article

I propose that the article be renamed "KwaZulu-Natal (North)". The term "Battlefields" is purely a tourism board marketing term while the term "North Natal" (whch is what I was taught at school) might be deemed an Apartheid-era term, especially since the province of Natal has been renbamed "KwaZulu-NAtal". (I went to school in this region, but have not lived there since 1970). This will also avoid confusion with an artcile that I propose writing "Battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal" which will catalogue as many battles and skirmihses a s possible that took place within the province. Most, but not all, are in the KWaZulu-Natal (North) region. The new artcile will use the article American Civil War as a guide. Martinvl (talk) 20:23, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Where is this?

@Martinvl: I am trying to sort out the map at KwaZulu-Natal. As far as I can tell, this region includes w:Amajuba District Municipality, w:Uthukela District Municipality, and w:Umzinyathi District Municipality. There may be more. Any comments? Ground Zero (talk) 17:42, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

The other question I have is about Ukhahlamba Drakensberg, which seems to include parts of w:Uthukela District Municipality and w:uMgungundlovu District Municipality and possibly w:Harry Gwala District Municipality, but I am not sure how much of them. Ground Zero (talk)

@Ground Zero: If you visit this page you can see the KZN districts. This article covers the w:Zululand District Municipality as well as those that you mentioned.

The article Ukhahlamba Drakensberg covers the western parts of all three districts that you mentioned. Technically the Drakensberg is also in the Amajuba District, but the main tourist section is where it forms the KZN-Lesotho border.

PS - when you ping somebody else, use a lower-case "p", not an upper-case "P", otherwise the message will not reach them. It was pure chance that I came across this message. Martinvl (talk) 21:01, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

@Martinvl: thanks for the advice on both. I'll have to leave the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg issue to someone with better mapmaking skills. That's beyond my skillset. Ground Zero (talk) 01:25, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
