Discussion

 * A greatly needed task. I am deeply grateful to Kot for taking the time to code this. There are hundreds of articles with incorrect unreferenced data and thousands without infoboxes/maps. This will greatly improve the current quality of these articles and make them consistent and should be approved asap.. ‡ Himalayan ‡  ΨMonastery 12:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Many Romanian localities are in great need of some standardizing, and this goes a long way in ensuring that we get there. The template seems to be alright, at least as far as I can tell at the moment. Dahn (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
