Persistent typo in city name

Post by ranttine
Here -> https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lo ... 558&zoom=2

is a ghost town LEstijärvi (note capitalization). Nothing in the map has had that name in the city field for ages but it just doesn't go away.

Why we are trying to take it away? Well.. there is a city called Lestijärvi there but when a segment is saved with that correctly written city name, it has changed by itself to that notorius LEstijärvi after save.

Drives us mad... Any suggestions?
BTW submitted 'Delete City' request few weeks ago but nothing has happened.

Contacting myself and explaining that we don't have such a form :p
Used to have it about year ago but no such thing anymore. Were pointed to use the general one.

EDIT: I dug up the old sheet and it seems that our requests from the general page go to there - which seems to have been working (ie affecting the map) last time in april.
