Incorrect dots and inaccuracies among city profiles

[perepelita]

that makes sense but I don't want the note to say La Robertsau on it instead of Strasbourg that's like going to Paris and then registering 20ème arrondissement instead of Paris

I understand your problem, perepelita.

As tigerpranke has said, a "location" on the EBT "citymanager" system is automatically attributed to any new combination [ country + city + postal code ]. Then geocoordinates for each point are assigned, by hand, by the team of "city managers".

In most cases, a combo of [ country + city + postal code ] is entirely or in a large part within a dot. Sometimes, this doesn't happen though, as is the case with Strasbourg 67000, which is distributed along 4 dots (although 1 of them is negligible).

On the map below, you can see the area (within a dotted red line) that Google Maps claims to be 67000. The vertical and horizontal full red lines are the EBT dot limits. The black arrow (on the cathedral) marks the geocoordinates that were assigned to Strasbourg 67000 on EBT citymanager.

In your place, I wouldn't like writing La Robertsau on the city field either, so I would consider a different solution, like one of the following:

Strasbourg (La Robertsau)
Strasbourg - Robertsau
Strasbourg - La Robertsau

It is possible for someone in the citymanager team to then assign geocoords that fall on the correct spot.

Hello Perepelita (and the other members) !

'La Robertsau' 67000 was created in the Strasbourg parent folder with coordinates 48.6029N, 7.7926E. (Perhaps by 'Ceric' or 'Tigerpranke').
You can therefore edit your Banknotes in 'La Robertsau'. The precise location will be taken into account in EBT. You will then obtain this dot. Banknotes statistics will be automatically linked to the city of Strasbourg.

Thank you.

@ perepelita (and the city-managers in the loop)

titilaneu is right, of course: that location was already created when I wrote my message above.

So you can either enter your note(s) in La Robertsau 67000, as tigerpranke suggested, or — because you explicitly said you wouldn't "want the note to say La Robertsau on it instead of Strasbourg" — you may choose any of my suggestions (or similar), which are not yet in the system but will be as soon as you add them (and will be geolocated by hand by any of the "city-managers" like myself).

I really don't understand why city managers seem to be fighting over this matter instead of trying to help. Are there rules for France that I don't know of?

A few missing dots in Spain:

Todolella 40.646903, -0.246963
Vilafranca del Cid 40.429306, -0.255716 Already in the system as Vilafranca, but there must be hundreds of them in Spain.
Ojos Negros 40.737709, -1.498088
Villaconejos de Trabaque 40.400390, -2.318854
Platja Tavernes de la Valldigna 39.087493, -0.215284 A slight name variation

[lmviterbo]

All done.

As to the last one (Platja Tavernes de la Valldigna), I added it as an independent "city" (ID 274164), but then I realized that there was already 2 children-locations with the same name under the parent Tavernes de la Valldigna (ID 103775) — which probably makes sense, but I don't know the specific rules for Spain.

If no one argues against it, I will merge this new duplicated Platja Tavernes de la Valldigna into Tavernes de la Valldigna. Otherwise, the duplicated ones under Tavernes de la Valldigna must be split and join the new profile. I'll wait for your feedback and especially the feedback of other city-managers more knowledgeable of EBT rules for Spain.

Sergelen/Сэргэлэн in Mongolia has coordinates 47,651°N, 106,821°E.

Thanks for the hint.

Please change your notes to Chinggis Khaan International Airport with postal code 41090, as Sergelen is about 15 km east of the airport.

Done! BTW, would you be so kind to add Чингис хаан олон улсын нисэх буудал as well? That is Chingis Khaan International Airport in Mongolian/cyrillic.

I added it to the profile.

Done. Thanks for the hint!

Hazeldonk currenly has its own city profile; however, it is not a separate town but rather a neighbourhood of Breda. See for instance here: https://www.postcode.nl/address/4836LB/99 (including the Shell station + restaurants on the map, where presumably all Hazeldonk-notes have been received).

Bottom line: the city profile of Hazeldonk should be merged into the Breda city profile. Notes with postcodes starting with 4836 should of course have their own dot, because this is quite a bit more southerly than the city itself.

Merged, and all with coordinates
