Cosmetic
I don't think that correcting the capitalisation of a proper noun is a "cosmetic" change. For example, I regularly see people use tools like AWB to change "australia" to "Australia", and I don't see why changing "Internet Orchid species Photo Encyclopedia" to "Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia", when it is clearly a proper noun, is any different.

Thank you for sorting things out on my talk page
Thanks Snowolf for this. Factseducado (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) may possibly be a problematic editor, but as always I assume that they edit to improve the project.--Shirt58 (talk) 13:07, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: (Protected ERepublik: Persistent vandalism ([edit=autoconfirmed] (expires 03:09, 28 May 2012 (UTC)) [move=autoconfirmed] (expires 03:09, 28 May 2012 (UTC)))
Hi,
Is there a chance you could unblock the page OR try to remove the information which is false OR allow me to edit the page so I can at least try to remove the false information? (The protection hasn't stopped the vandalism in any way). This sentence especially: "It is announced that Erepublik will be closed in 1 July 2012." It has been confirmed that eRepublik will NOT be closed.
