Is Bisho really part of Buffalo City? I can't see any reference to this elsewhere... Nyh 09:16, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) No Bisho is not part of East London, however both settlements are in Buffalo City and are part of the same municpality. Quite a bit of development on precisely how South African local government is structured should be put up.

There is an error in this article. The Xhosa for East London is Emonti, Not Imonti. The E- prefix indicates a place, whereas I- indicates an object. - ISS — Preceding

Argedy Arg, Local Government in S.A is a pain. Basically separate entities for S.A towns and cities and local government units are neccessary. I put together a list that was thankfully fixed up and put together in the List SA Municpalities page which forms the current shopping list of muncipality entries that need to be built (hopefully all with the same format). It would seem necessary to include the names (and references) of constituent settlements of municipalities in that municipality entry. Therefore Bisho should not be refered to in East London but should be included in the Buffalo City Local Municipality entry, which I have now done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Hjul ( talk • contribs) 10:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I changed the title to East London, South Africa to avoid confusion with East London, England. If you look at the "what links here" list for East London you will see several articles that incorrectly link there because editors assumed that the link would go to an article about the east end of London.

This article could use, I think, an explanation as to why it is called East London. Was there another settlement to its west that was called London, but which has since been encompassed by other settlements or diminished and disappeared? Or is it named this because it is, longitudinally, east of London, England? Why did the founders not just call it "London", like a dozen places in North America, Belize and Kiribati?

There is no need for the hatnote ("For other uses...") at the top of this article. Hatnotes are for cases where a reader may have reached one article when they meant to reach another. There is no way that a reader would reach this article when they were actually looking for the London region. To somewhat paraphrase from WP:NAMB, "a reader who is following links within Wikipedia or using Wikipedia's own search engine would not have ended up at East London, Eastern Cape if one were looking for other places named East London". Hatnotes are not just to link together similarly-named articles, they are specifically for when redirection may be needed. - htonl ( talk) 16:55, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
