May 2008[edit]

I am removing the History Section for two reasons:

1. It is heavy in POV
2. I am sure I studied this exact text in a book at school (in Mauritius, NOT UK)

Another point I might add is that the correct spelling is Rose Hill, WITHOUT the dash. I will redirect the page, unless I am given a reason not to (and it better be good! I know my country like the back of my hand!)

Proposed move[edit]

A speedy deletion request has been made at Beau Bassin-Rose Hill under speedy deletion criterion G6, as uncontroversial maintenance, in order to move this article there. The speedy deletion request referred to The Local Government Act of 2011. The forms "Beau Bassin - Rose Hill", "Beau Bassin-Rose Hill", "Beau-Bassin Rose-Hill", "Beau-Bassin / Rose-Hill" and "Beau Bassin/Rose Hill" are all in use. No one of them has a substantial preponderance. The municipal council's own web site (www.bbrh.org) uses the form "Beau-Bassin / Rose-Hill". The cited act refers to the town as "Beau Bassin-Rose Hill", but does not decree that such is the only "correct" form. There is no obvious reason why usage in that one source should take precedence over all others, including the municipal council's web site. The proposed change is certainly not clear-cut enough for a speedy deletion as "uncontroversial". JamesBWatson (talk) 12:22, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changing (move) Page Title[edit]

The correct name for the town is Beau Bassin-Rose Hill.

See Google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Beau+Bassin-Rose+Hill,+Mauritius See official Website of BBRH: bbrh.org Other sites websites talking about the town: https://www.airbnb.com/s/Beau-Bassin~Rose-Hill--Mauritius

I think the title should be renamed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kervinramen (talk • contribs) 04:34, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio[edit]

The entire history section was directly copied from this website, which marked the content as copyrighted. This means that it either needs to be re-written from scratch or someone needs to ask the website if they'll donate it to Wikipedia. Offhand the content will still need to be re-written to some extent since it's a little casual for Wikipedia's purposes and while not overtly promotional, it does kind of read a little tourist-y.
