Protection of Template:Infobox

Can you lower the protection of template:infobox to "template protection", so template editors can edit it? --George Ho (talk) 21:07, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Wow, that one was a long time ago! Happy to - template protection wasn't around in 2006 and per WP:PP it looks like it's recommended for these cases. Might be worth running a report to switch it on all these old heavily-used ones... Andrew Gray (talk) 21:40, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Request for Geonotice - Lima Peru

Hi, Andrew!

I have just added a request for a Geonotice for an edit-a-thon taking place on March 11 in Lima, Peru: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice#Requests However, the link to the meetup page is showed in red, so now I don't know if I have put my request in the right place. Is there a different page for requests for Spanish Wikipedia? I would really appreciate any help on this. --Yhhue91 (talk) 18:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Southern American English dispute

Hello, I got your name off and active list of admins. I was wondering if you could please help in regards to this topic: On the southern American English page, Me, along with Kelthan and Dubyavee ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Southern_American_English#Delete_image ) opposed taking the map off. It was originally removed without any edit summary. Since it was sourced, I heard you can't remove content without justification. That's three opinions against one that have given feedback on this. I took this to Bilcat who reverted our edits. I politely contacted Bilcat on his talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BilCat&action=history), and he immediately removed and ignored my message. Can you please help? If you look at the history page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Southern_American_English&action=history You can see both Kelthan and I were against taking the map off. And there was a previous discussion about this on the talk page here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Southern_American_English#Delete_image where Dubyavee disagreed with taking the map off. Bilcat then reverted this falsely claiming the consensus was against this. The map was originally taken off without given and edit summary, despite it being sourced. Can you please help? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevinfromtx (talkcontribs) 23:45, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Libraries Without Borders

Hello, I'm very new to wikipedia, and I wanted to correct the Libraries Without Borders article on the site. Bibliothécaires Sans Frontières means Librarians without borders, a separate, different organization. So, I wanted to change the title to: Bibliothèques Sans Frontières, or Libraries Without Borders as the translation of the page "Bibliothèques Sans Frontières" that already exists in French.

I'm not much of an online editor, but I do translation work and wanted to contribute. I don't know who created this page, but both the English content and the redirects to this page indicate that Bibliothécaires Sans Frontières page title is a typo that should be the English version for Bibliothèques Sans Frontières. Even the links on the page send me to their websites.

I'd really appreciate your help, M MattBenoît (talk) 09:33, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
