City-Data has 'Lake Butler' (Orange County not Union County) listed as 'Lake Butter'. Does anyone know how to fix this? Here is the Wiki on Lake Butler:

Wikipedia is a great and reliable source. Is it too late to change the entry to Lake Butter?

Well jsun, tell us what is a reliable source nowadays? City-data and Microsoft maps have it wrong. I live here so I would know there is no place around here called 'lake butter'.
Here is a google map you.

As in my original post, I'm talking about Orange County, not Union County (the one you found).
What I'm referring to is a 'census designated place (CDP)'. Somewhere someone spelled Lake Butler (CDP) as Lake Butter (CDP). This has propagated throughout many databases. For example, if I check in from home on FB, it says I'm in 'Lake Butter'. It should say 'Lake Butler'. Same goes if I look at a Bing map and City-Data.

If you look at block 40 of this map, you will see it listed as Lake Butler.

LOL, should just leave it as Lake Butter, it's more fun that way.
