Hi,

Thank you, Fred, for quickly addressing this.

Thank you, Ron, for reporting this.

I tested it just now, and the link has been updated, and it works. I'll add the paper to my reading list.

Best,

Devin

    Hello Devin,

    Congratulations on your new position.
    I hope there are no hard feelings concerning the OLPC Foundation,
    which I guess has been dead for a decade now.

    The reason I write is that the OLPC Wiki remains online, if only
    as a valuable historical artifact.
    I made a number of contributions there, and one of them now
    contains a ROTTEN LINK to an important off-site paper.
    When I tried to mend it by logging in, I discovered the page was
    locked down all the same.
    And when I e-mailed h...@laptop.org seeking assistance, the mail
    was bounced back. (See copy below.)

    Do YOU know anyone who can help me make the SIMPLE VITAL UPDATE
    needed at the OLPC Wiki???
    Thanks in advance!

    Best,
    Ron Feigenblatt

    to help

    Hello,

    I am a veteran contributor to what became The OLPC Wiki. (I was
    the 35th person to participate!)
    I would like to mend LINKROT on one of its pages, viz:
    https://wiki.laptop.org/go/Comparative_education
    Alas, even after I use my old credentials to successfully log in,
    I find the page is STILL marked as protected.

    reason:

      The action you have requested is limited to users in the group:
    Administrators <https://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC:Administrators>.

    Can you help me make the SIMPLE, VITALLY NEEDED change?
    In the sub-section "Schooling and economics" I want to UPDATE the
    NOW-ROTTEN link to the paper titled:
    "Is institutional education economically overrated?"
    to

    Thank you for your kind assistance!
