London Open Guides

Hi there, Today I was trying to update a page on the London Open Guide (http://london.openguides.org/wiki/?Liverpool_Street_Station), but keep running into the error message "Not saved - Sorry; that looks like spam. If it isn't spam, please contact the guide administrator." I was hoping to change a paragraph from this: The lower concourse extends westwards into a shopping centre, underneath a bus terminus. Railtrack have a [http://www.networkrail.co.uk/Stations/stations/liverpoolstreet/Documents/Li verpoolStreet.pdf map of the shops] in the station. Notable shops include two WH Smiths, the usual [[Fast Food|junk food]] suspects ([[Burger King]] and [[McDonalds]]), two Costa Coffees and on the upper level a record shop (Helter Skelter). To this: The lower concourse extends westwards into a shopping centre, underneath a bus terminus. Network Rail have a [http://www.networkrail.co.uk/documents/For%20Passengers/Station%20Maps/4512 _Liverpool%20Street%20Station%20Map.pdf map of the shops] in the station. Notable shops include two WH Smiths, the usual [[Fast Food|junk food]] suspects ([[Burger King]] and [[McDonalds]]), two Costa Coffees and on the upper level a record shop (Helter Skelter). Although I appreciate that it's probably hard to keep spam to a manageable level, it's slightly irksome to be prevented from contributing a genuine edit in this way. More irritating is the request to contact the guide administrator without providing any contact details to allow one to do so! Although I'm bloody-minded enough to have sought out this address to let you know of this problem I suspect that many others won't be and will simply give up, which is a shame and might prevent the guide becoming even better than it already is. Regards, Leigh Simpson

Hello again, Now I find that I can't save modifications to the page for King's Cross (http://london.openguides.org/wiki/?King's_Cross_St._Pancras_Station) as the Latitude and Longitude are improperly formatted (try clicking "Edit" then "Save" directly). Sadly, since I didn't touch these I've no idea what they should be.
