Can't edit name of Landmark

Post by CrackedLCD
I've got a strange problem here in the city of Mobile, Alabama. There's a staff-created island landmark that is called "Lakely Is" — only the actual name is Blakely Island. I get a save error when I try to correct the name. The landmark is not locked so I'm scratching my head as to why I can't fix this glaring mistake. In fact, I can't lock it or edit the landmark's borders, either.

Can someone else take a crack at it? I'm hopeful someone else can correct the name without having to contact support.

What say ye?

I'm afraid if I delete it and re-create it, it won't show up any more.
Last time I checked, the island landmark has no effect in the app, at least in the map editors scheme. If you see it as "land" then it is not the landmark which is doing it.
