Hi @0800cpc:, you recently moved this page from "Hutt Central to "Lower Hutt Central, saying "Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), officially recognises this suburb as Lower Hutt Central. Sometimes people remove the world 'Lower' for short." However, when I searched LINZ's Gazetteer, I couldn't find a mention of "Lower Hutt Central" as a place name in LINZ's database. Can you provide a specific source from LINZ for this name? Thanks, HenryCrun15 (talk) 03:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @HenryCrun15:, I sourced this on the map at data.linz.govt.nz. However I just looked at the map closer and it is based on 'OpenStreetMap', which is a collaborative project to create a free editable geographic database of the world. So the data is technically not "official," even though it is displayed on LINZ's website. Thanks, 0800cpc (talk) 11:34, 6 February 2022 (NZT)
