I believe this page should be called the Siege of Eshowe - there were two battles, but one was Colonel Pearson going to Eshowe, and one was the relief column, and neither were in Eshowe. Historians, please ? Wizzy 15:00, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

  • Yes, I was unsure on how to label it, with two battles and a siege, battle seemed the most conventional term. The battles, however, did all revolve around the siege so I agree that that would be a much better label. Having said that, I have no idea how one renames an article...I assume you do =D Loopy 20:57, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I moved it (with the Move Page link at the bottom, in case you need to do it again). Could you fix up other articles (by editing the text to refer to 'siege of Eshowe', and then wikifying it) ? A handy tool is What links here button on other relevant pages. Wizzy 21:18, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
