Hi GeoNames.

I am trying to correct the punctuation for city, Hyderabad (https://www.geonames.org/1269843/hyderabad.html). I am trying to edit via my newly created account, but it appears I do not have access. I see the error message when I click the save/tick button

```
The record you want to edit is locked for updates for userlevel1
```

I am trying to correct the name to be:
Hyderabad

Happy for someone else to correct if my account is too new. Although, it's possible I may be making additional corrections in the future.

Kind regards,
Duncan

Hi Duncan

Thanks for your posting. As I see the name has already been corrected.

Best Regards
