Hello again,

Now I find that I can't save modifications to the page for King's Cross (http://london.openguides.org/wiki/?King%27s_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.

Regards,

Leigh Simpson

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/Documen ts/LiverpoolStreet.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.
