Bump - I still have no idea what to do about the first case. I want to revert it because Pygmyshire is the correct, official name, but if I just go and do that without seeing with others what to do I'll become part of the edit war. Should I PM the user instead?

I think it's the correct choice.

Oo oo ah ah

^ What exactly? Me reverting it or PMing the user?

I just remembered this, months later after not getting an answer to the above question and forgetting about it. It would appear the pages are still using "Goatshire" even though that's not the correct name.

Should I go ahead and correct Goatshire to Pygmyshire while linking to the tweet? In one case it was reverted back to Goatshire when I initially corrected it, as mentioned in the OP, though the entry has since been moved from the character page.

Yes, sounds like the right thing to do.

^ Alrighty, I have done that. I checked one more time and saw there was actually just the one usage of the term.

I'll go ahead and lock this.
