This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |

[edit]Future
[edit]- Revisiting the Dutch town/village articles: changing town to village; increasing accuracy of coordinates; adding region:NL to coordinates (to increase the usefulness of these excellent Google Earth files).
- Adding French municipalities
- I also propose that the bot also covers Spanish municipalities. IN many provinces these a hardly covered. Once Italy is done and dusted of course. Spanish wiki has data. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Seeing the great work you are doing with the tree of life infoboxes, could the bot remove |map_type from {{Infobox UK place}}, except where "|map_type = UK"? In all other cases, it is redundant, and might conflict with future uses of the field. Warofdreams talk 11:37, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
