Just for the record, there are no less than 10 profiles that match the spanish "aeropuerto". In the spanish EBT community there's a general disagreement about the fact that airports have their own "city" profiles.

Could someone split two neighbours cities with the same name and almost at the same place but on the other side of the border.

The swiss city Saint-Gingolph Zip Code 1898 coordinates 46.3932 6.8049
is now subsumed but the french city Saint-Gingolph Zip code 74500 coordinates 46.3914 6.8016

but they are two different cities

Could someone do something for that ? That's still not fixed yet.

No need of some new cities

Post by Castanhola »

The system does not always find the correct city from the data introduced by users, when entering new notes. I understand that this is difficult under certain situations and that in some cases the best is to create a new city and wait for manual corrections from plotters.

But "recently" it seems the system creates new cities when it could easily find an existing city with the same name and the same postal code. A recent example: someone enters a note in the location Zambujal (2785-691, Portugal) when the following cities with the name Zambujal where defined:

Zambujal (ID 124655 < Loures < Lisboa)
* Zambujal (2660-431, Portugal)

Zambujal (ID 124335 < Cantanhede < Coimbra)
* Zambujal (3060-115, Portugal)

Zambujal (ID 129353 < Caldas da Rainha < Leiria)
* Zambujal (2500-389, Portugal)

Zambujal (ID 132340 < Mafra < Lisboa)
* Zambujal (2640, Portugal)

Zambujal (ID 153359 < Cascais < Lisboa)
* Zambujal (2785-423, Portugal)
* Zambujal (2785-695, Portugal)

My question is why does the system create a new city for the new location, when he could easily identify the correct city, Zambujal, ID 153359, from the beginning of the postal code (2785)? Maybe the system does not like the portuguese postal codes xxxx-xxx...

Shouldn't Poix-Saint-Hubert be merged with Hatrival?

Well, it's possible, but not necessary to me. It's clearly a distinct place, closer to other villages then Hatrival.

It's not a policy to merge villages into (part)municipalities in Belgium

In that case, can someone take another look at the profile of Comblain-Fairon? This is the name of the deelgemeente, which consists of two villages, Comblain-la-Tour (separate profile exists) and Fairon (one of my notes). The current Comblain-Fairon profile came into existence somewhere between me entering notes in Fairon and now. One user entered notes named Comblain-Fairon, the third visitor used Fairon.

Two things can be done:
1 Assume that Comblain-Fairon means the village of Fairon and rename the profile to Fairon.
2 Assume that you cannot know what was meant with Comblain-Farion and split the profile.

Please split Hoogboom from the profile of Kapellen. This is a separate village, has townsigns too.

Please split Maria-ter-Heide from the profile of Brasschaat. This is also a separate village with it's own townsigns.
