Re: Incorrect dots and inaccuracies among city profiles

I noticed while watching the city-profile of Alfeld (Leine), the dot was located in Poland (but I'm pretty sure it's in Germany ;) ).

I suspect a note was plotted to far too the east (so the average location of the city is also too far to the east).

Is it possible to fix this?

Hy Eddy,

you were right. One entry had the value of the latitude in the longitude, too. Fixed it :wink:

I don't know if it's the good place but
i've entered notes in the Sindelfingen Rasthof in Autobahn 8 in Germany.
but i'm sad because the rasthof is not in the same dot than the main city :cry:
Is it possible to move those notes or not ? :cry:

Hello, a Spanish user reported a problem with a Spanish location: Enguídanos, in Cuenca, Castilla la Mancha, Spain.
May city managers have a look about it, please? :wink:

You should change your location to Sindelfinger Wald and the post code to 71067.

With entering this and this note, I made a typo.

I've already corrected my entry, but the city profile I created was pointed in the citymanager as a seperate city.
Please merge this new city profile in the correct one, so if there's one who makes the same typo, his notes will end up in the right city profile.

I've merged the two profiles. The wrong profile will be deleted automatically, because it has no coordinates assigned (wrong entries normally don't get coordinates) and there are no users, notes registered with this specific entry.

Hello!

I've entered some notes in Brussels Zuid/Midi Station, Rue de France, zip code 1060. This dot should be below the "Brussels-Center"-dot but appears like the last mentioned.

These are the notes from this location:

Hi Dioniz, 1060 is in the commune Saint-Gilles, or Sint-Gillis in Dutch. Just choose one language, not two, as a location name, then even Brussels will point to the right profile.

Is this the Winklern that is part of Maria Saal? Then it should have postal code 9063, not 9020 (all of Maria Saal has had 9063 for some time now, though parts previously had 9020). If not, which municipality does it belong to?
