I'm getting an error, "Authorization Error, please login", while editing certain names. I assume they are protected in some way. Is there a way that I can edit these?

I am using the account "Torguy2".

Hi

I have increased your userlevel.
Thanks a lot for your contributions.

I'm also receiving "Authorization Error, please login." when trying to update the location of https://www.geonames.org/1694008/republic-of-the-philippines.html to a lat/lon which lies inside the polygon.

Hello,

Am trying to update the preferred en for Brisbane (class: city) - http://www.geonames.org/2174003/brisbane.html as Brisbane CBD. Am receiving the error "Authorization Error, please login".

Is it possible for me to have access to edit this? I seem to be able to edit the others fine.

Hi Rachel

I assume CBD stands for 'central business district'?
If yes, then it is here

Hi Marc,

Thank you for sharing, will continue the conversation via email as there may be more to discuss.

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to add some public parks in Toronto so I can link them with Wikidata, but am being asked to log in (although I am logged in already).

I’m having the same problem trying to edit or delete feature Ciénaga la Zapallera id 3782991.

Natural feature describes a lake, it doesn’t exist there.

As an alternative it can be edited to show real conditions of place as

Zame: Zanjón La Cañada
Class: Stream,Lake,…(H)
Code: Drainage canal (CNLD)

Hello!

It is a duplicate and written in Chinese.
